Next Level Racing GTTrack Simulator Cockpit (NLR-S009)

It took me a weekend to get this thing set up, but it was only a part of my room reorg project (still got some cable management to go 🤦‍♂️). While there were a lot of pieces, everything was pretty straightforward and the material quality was top notch. I also bought the monitor stand and mouse/keyboard tray (sold separately), which just adds to the experience. It showed up in a giant heavy box that I ended up just leaving on the landing. There is a second box inside with all the hardware and parts, the rest of the space is the chair. Do yourself a favor and just carry the chair and smaller box separately, it’ll save your back. The entire frame is very strong and bolted down everywhere. They also included extra support for the pedals and a lot of extra hardware; this thing is a tank. I would be very surprised if any piece of the cockpit breaks before all of my Logitech gear. I can finally drive without worrying about pulling too hard on things or the position of my seat and just focus on what matters. With none of those small distractions, it’s a much more rewarding and immersive experience to race. After racing and drifting in this cockpit, I have found it to be a vast improvement to my previous mobile mount. I had to move the old one over by my desk, connect everything, and then launch Asseto. Now, with a dedicated cockpit, I no longer have to move or setup anything. I use a DisplayPort switch between the sim monitor and my desk monitor so that I only need to press one button to switch back to desk gaming, and a usb hub to allow my Logitech steering setup to always stay connected. If you are looking to set up a dedicated sim station, I would highly recommend this cockpit. It’s a very solid base to build from. The quality of this company’s products have made me rethink the Logitech steering wheel, as it now feels cheap comparatively; I will probably be upgrading to direct drive soon. This cockpit deserves the upgrade.

I purchased this for use with my Fanatec DD1 F1 and v3 pedals, and am extremely happy with the setup. I get no flex from anywhere and was able to bolt on my setup with ease. I play on PC in my room as well as on PS4 in the living room, so having a setup I could move between rooms was desireable. I originally started with the DD wheel stand to do this, which while incredibly rigid was NOT easy to move. I picked this up, and couldn't be happier. The casters roll smoothly and lock without any drama to create a stable setup in either room. Anyone can push it around, even on our carpet. There are a couple small areas I think could be improved, though no deal-breakers. When resting your foot between races I missed having a floorboard level with the pedals. Your feet go to the ground, which I did not like. Also, I didn't like their provided mounting location for a handbrake, which didn't satisfy my desire to match my street car's positioning. I modified both of these items which you can see in the pics attached to my review. I added an extra pedal tray to create a "full floorboard" feeling between the pedals and the seat, which lets you step in and out - this bolted right on with no modifications (you'd need to order a replacement pedal tray or have access to one to do this). I also used an additional shifter mount (purchasable separately) to create the more street-car style hand-brake mount. I did need to modify the mount slightly to do this. With those mods, I think it's near perfect, but even out of the box it's one of the nicest rigs I've seen.

Here's a few problems I noticed after I assembled everything: - The slider for the seat does not catch if I push the chair to almost fully extended. I'm 5 foot 11 and this is not an issue, but it may be a problem for people taller than me. It does make me worry about the longevity of the rails on the chair. - The chair stitching is not perfect. The portion of the seat that supports the back of your knees has excess leather on both sides. It's not a huge amount, but the finish should be perfect at this price point. The overall build is rock-solid and it will last a very long time.

Solid build quality with a fairly easy setup. Takes about 45min to put together. The seatbelt mounts on the back of the rig could be better positioned as I constantly need to adjust every time I sit down, although this could just be a 1 off case. Overall, highly recommend this for anyone looking for a quality sim rig that's built to last. I've been using for several years now with no issues

What can I say - super sturdy. This went in a small area that I was a bit worried wouldn’t fit or would cram the space. Not a problem. The rig profile is a good 20% smaller than my old RSeat R1 that I had to get rid of for this reason. It’s every bit as sturdy as that rig was, for about half the price. The castor wheels are money, and it comes with a bunch of extras too. Have the wheels on both the rig and the NL monitor stand and they are easy to move in tandem with a little care, and a cinch on their own. Overall - this seat is only lacking in a few features but am able to make due with the available space on the hub mount for a makeshift mousepad area for the keyboard. KB and mouse tray can be added as an extra. On last little thing - I am carrying a few extra lbs. I’m not hefty, but the regular sized seat does fit quite snug. I actually kind of like that but some may not. Do not hesitate to go for a bigger seat option if there is one if you register as Obese on the fat scale.

for those that wont read this, its good for beginners, well built, and comfortable, hard to put together though. When receiving the package it was nicely double boxed and no damage to the box, however when i opened it there was some items that could be improved. The chair has strings already hanging from the bottom and has some poor quality areas that i can for see to degrade and fall apart sooner than it should have. The frame is a light aluminum that has what i would say not enough welding done, its solid but the welds are spotty and not filling the entire gap between the bends. The left arm coming up had a broken piece of plastic that literally cut my finger, snapped it off and smoothed it out no big deal. There was also another piece of the metal sticking up that was sharp and again....i cut my finger on it. The assembly is difficult, it took me 3 hours to put this together and im a top tier IKEA furniture assembler. The pieces fit together and then the bolts go through the holes and you tighten it with a nut, pretty simple, the only problem is some of the pieces that are suppose to go around and grip another dont tighten correctly when tightening the bolts. its like if you put a 1 inch ball in a 1.2 inch pipe, it would rattle back and forth. Thats no problem for my hammer though. I had to hit some of the, what i would call "female" pieces so they would hold the "male" pieces tighter and when tightening the bolts it actually stopped the frame wiggle. another issue another solution. Id say that this piece is worth the purchase if your willing to deal with a rough assembly.

Decided to order this sim cockpit after researching features and possible expansion like adding flight sim controls. Overall assembly is easy and only requires one person. I do recommend having two people to move package as it is very heavy. Once assembled it is rock solid. Adjustability is great. Seat can be bolted farther or closer and has sliding rails for fine adjustment. The pedal deck has multiple slots that my pedals can bolt to. The adjustment on the pedal desk is also fantastic with the ability get it right where you want it. The wheel adjustment only has an up and down but moves at and angle. I would recommend adjusting this first before the pedal deck. I'm currently using some Fanatec Clubsport racing sim hardware. I was able to bolt these to the chassis without modification. I enjoy this sim chassis and have already put plenty of hours in it with Project Cars and starting iRacing.

I originally purchased a playseat evolution and all the extras such as the shifter mount and sliding seat hardware. The playseat made a lot of noise and that noise was being picked up in my stream. This next level gtTrack does not make noise when I move around while using it. This simulator does not flex as the playseat evolution does. I hadn't realized how much the flex of the playseat would mess me up when slowing down and taking a corner. I did learn that the gtTrack support for the steering wheel can be over tightened and squeeze the metal bar when over tightened, so be cautious when tightening. It did take me awhile to set it up and I am a mechanic. It also took quite a bit of play-time and adjustment when making it comfortable for me. If you have more than 1 person using this, be prepared to go through that hassle a lot. It might not hurt to color code all of the different screw holes for each person that will use it. That should save you much time each time it needs to be refitted. Instead of buying the next level floor mat, I purchased amazon basics polycarbonate heavy duty chair mat. I bought the one thats 46 inches by 60 inches. I'm happy with this gtTrack simulator, I wasn't happy with the playseat evolution.

Voilà plus de 1 an que j'ai acheté ce Next Level Racing Simulator et je viens de remarquer que n'ai rien écrit sur ce super produit. En effet, ce simulateur est un produit fiable, robuste et facile à monter. Sans compter qu'on peut l'améliorer sans cesse, assembler et désassembler facilement, pratique pour le déménagement... Absolument rien à dire au sujet de la livraison. Tout au sujet de cette commande fut impeccable.

Fantastic sim racing cockpit, the seat is very comfortable the build quality is the best band i got it for 2100 SAR witch is amazing you can never find it at this price point , and it was brand new.

Esta muy bien por que es de aluminio y para volantes con mucha potencia los va a soportar muy bien, las ruedas ayudan mucho para poderlo mover de lugar fácilmente

Ich besitze das Rig jetzt bald ein Jahr und ich Liebe es ich würde es nicht hergeben. Einfach aus dem Grund das man damit so flexibel ist im Vergleich zu einem Stationären Aufbau Rig aus Alu. Die Rollen sind stabil und die sperren der kleinen Rädern funktionieren super. Ich kann es immer wenn ich Racing Simulatoren spiele an meinen Schreibtisch fahren und nutzen, wenn ich fertig bin schiebe ich es wieder in seine Ecke und hole meinen regulären Stuhl. Diese Flexibilität ist Gold Wert. Ebenso das Material, es ist hervorragend verarbeitet der Aufbau ist kein Ikea Aufbau. Etwas komplexer aber muss natürlich auch halten (Ist trotzdem für einen Laien kein Problem). Man muss nichts zuschneiden oder mühsam zurecht biegen alles passgenau. Der Sitz lässt sich mühelos verstellen und der Halter für die shifter ist genau passend. Ich habe es allen von meinen Kollegen weiterempfohlen und die sind auch zufrieden.

Using in conjunction with fanatic hardware. I wanted to wait for a load cell to write this but life is getting in the way. Good quality, comfort and adjustability. As a tall chap I think my arms are a little straight but I could probably tinker with the set up some more.
