I suspect a Playseat Challenge tucks up smaller still, but at the expense of the adjustability and spaciousness you get from the F-GT Lite. By designing custom components and using advanced manufacturing for precision machined holes in the aluminium profile this allows easier assembly and more rigid connection as the profile bolts together. Plus, it’s important to point out how small the F-GT Lite packs away, easily fitting in the same space my awful upright steering wheel stand occupied.

On either side of this, you can mount a shifter lever – so you can adapt for left- or right-hand drive depending on what you’re used to – and this has a slightly thinner metal plate upon which the controller can be hard mounted.ADJUSTABILITY The patented design of the Next Level Racing® F-GT provides a rigid and solid cockpit while providing maximum adjustability so you can have your steering wheel, pedals, and gear lever in the best position for you.

The Next Level Racing® Hubs also make it a perfect storage solution, meaning the product can be folded and stowed away after racing. Rather than adapting industrial off the shelf components, we are pioneering how aluminium profile cockpits should be designed. Using the feedback of professional drivers the revolutionary design allows the user to be in authentic racing positions for both Formula and GT racing to give you the most authentic racing experience. The Next Level Racing® Hubs provide various angle adjustments to ensure the user gets the most comfortable racing position.

Featuring a premium thick-walled profile and a custom Next Level Racing 100mm x 40mm profile for the base, the F-GT Elite is reliable and weighs a total of 53kg.

By designing custom components and using advanced manufacturing for precision machined holes in the aluminium profile this allows easier assembly and more rigid connection as the profile bolts together . The optional Next Level Racing® ES1 Elite Sim Racing Seat is the recommended seat to use with the Elite range of cockpits as the seat has been designed and optimised for elite sim racers. As well as market leading features the F-GT Elite sets a new benchmark for aesthetics, functionality and quality for an aluminium profile cockpit or what’s commonly referred to as an “8020 racing simulator cockpit”.

The post anodizing process as a last step also prevents having sharp shavings/edging ensuring safe setup of your new cockpit. The pedals differed slightly in that the Logitech used both os the seat's horizontal runners while the Thrustmaster only appears to have holes for one of them. The Next Level Racing Flight Pack is compatible with Thrustmaster, Logitech, and CH Products’ hardware. Not only does it withstand twisting force feedback movements but telegraphs vibrations from the track surface straight into the seat base and pedalboard, without any annoying rattles or buzzes.

The patented design of the Next Level Racing® F-GT ensures a rigid and solid cockpit but also many adjustments meaning you have your wheel, pedals and gear shifter in the best position to suit you as the driver. If you want something that folds up but doesn’t completely lose the sturdiness of a permanent rig, the F-GT Lite is a solid contender.
