Next Level Racing GTElite Lite Simulator Cockpit (Wheel Plate Edition)

The Next Level Racing GTElite Lite Simulator Cockpit (Wheel Plate Edition) is the most accessible way into the Next Level Racing Elite ecosystem: a dedicated GT-style aluminum profile cockpit built on an 80 x 40 mm profile, with an authentic GT driving position that suits drivers from 120 to 210 cm tall and up to 150 kg. It shares the frame dimensions and reinforcement of the full GTElite, but its box contents leave out the seat brackets and the gear shifter and handbrake support plate, so you only pay for what your setup needs and add parts as you go. The Wheel Plate Edition mounts your wheelbase on a folded carbon steel wheel deck, while the Front & Side Mount Edition uses dedicated side mounts for direct drive wheelbases.

Rigidity comes from purpose-built parts instead of conventional corner brackets. 8 mm carbon steel upright mounting plates tie the vertical uprights directly to the base, an 8 mm carbon steel sandwich plate locks the uprights to the pedal plate, and custom full-width spring ball T-slot nuts and through bolts increase clamping force throughout the build. The multi-folded carbon steel plates were validated with FEA (Finite Element Analysis) testing: the wheel deck performs like 14.3 mm steel or 20.85 mm aluminum, and the pedal deck like 10.84 mm steel or 15.83 mm aluminum. For the driver, that means a stable platform that resists flex under strong force feedback and heavy braking, lap after lap.

Assembly is quicker thanks to precision machined holes in the profile and laser-etched line markings, and every part ships individually packed in molded foam. The pedal plate adjusts in height, angle, and distance, and the NLR flex-free seat slider system uses ratchets to move your seat back and forth. Height adjustable shock absorption feet, cable management clips, a tool kit holder, a magnetic spirit level, and a ButtKicker Gamer 2 adaptor are included. The cockpit grows with you: the Elite Shifter Add-On adds a shifter or handbrake mount, the Motion Plus platform is supported, and the Motion Platform V3 and Traction Plus platforms work with the Elite Motion Adaptor Upgrade Kit. Please note this is the cockpit only; the seat and seat brackets, wheelbase, steering wheel, and pedals are sold separately.
