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

The Next Level Racing GTElite Racing Simulator Cockpit (Wheel Plate Edition) is a dedicated GT-style aluminum profile cockpit that brings the engineering of the Next Level Racing Elite series to the mid-range. Built around an 80 x 40 mm profile, it gives sim racers a rigid, highly adjustable foundation for their wheel, pedals, shifter, and handbrake, with an authentic GT driving position that suits drivers from 120 to 210 cm tall and up to 150 kg. Compared to the GTElite Lite, this full GTElite edition adds seat brackets and a gear shifter and handbrake support plate in the box. 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 where it matters. 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, the pedal deck like 10.84 mm steel or 15.83 mm aluminum, and the shifter plate like 18.51 mm steel or 29.18 mm aluminum. For the driver, that means a platform that resists flex and deflection under high-torque wheelbases, heavy braking, and aggressive shifting.

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 NLR flex-free seat slider system uses ratchets to move your seat back and forth, and the 4 mm carbon steel seat brackets offer 55 adjustment combinations for side-mount seats. 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 works with the Motion Plus platform, and with the Motion Platform V3 and Traction Plus platforms through the GTElite Motion Adaptor Upgrade Kit, while the GTElite Formula and Hybrid Pedal Upgrade Kit adds new driving positions. Please note this is the cockpit only; the seat, wheelbase, steering wheel, pedals, shifter, and handbrake are sold separately.
