ALL-IN-ONE, MULTI POSITION COCKPIT

In addition to providing complete rigidity and ultimate adjustability, the F-GT Elite Lite cockpit offers a versatile experience. This is suitable for true and comfortable Formula, GT, hybrid, truck, and tank driving positions. Moreover, with quick adjustments between positions, it stands out as a true one-for-all cockpit. Additionally, the increased angle and range provided in the seat brackets, wheel, and pedal plate cater to users of all sizes and driving styles. This design feature ensures more adjustability than ever before. Furthermore, the F-GT Elite Lite is ideally suited for any global esports activation. This is particularly notable as it demands the best from a cockpit that offers several racing positions.

INNOVATIVE FLEX-FREE NLR SEAT SLIDER & BRACKET SYSTEM

Moreover, the innovative Next Level Racing® Seat Sliding System has been designed and engineered to address a common problem to eliminate the issue of flex found in conventional seat sliders used in simulation. Additionally, the NLR ratchets are used to effortlessly slide your seat back and forth, enabling you to find the desired position for a flex-free racing experience.

Furthermore, the Next Level Racing® Seat Brackets are constructed from 5mm carbon steel. This construction provides the rigidity required for high-end sim racers. The new design offers more adjustability than ever before, supporting multiple seating positions with 98 adjustment options. In addition, the optional Next Level Racing® Elite Sim Racing Seats are the recommended choice for use with the Elite range of cockpits.

UNIVERSAL SLIDING PEDAL PLATES

The sliding pedal plates have been designed to provide easy and quick distance adjustments for pedals as well as compatibility with the continuously expanding pedal market. Equipped with 2 slotted 5mm carbon steel pedal plates with double precision folds, this setup ensures supreme rigidity but straightforward compatibility. Additionally, the pedal tray area has been designed to offer more angle, height, and distance adjustments to accommodate for a wider range of driving positions. Finally, the laser-etched markings on the aluminum profile assist with making accurate adjustments.

DESIGN SHOULD BE BEAUTIFUL & FUNCTIONAL

The F-GT Elite Lite cockpit provides a long list of unique custom-engineered components to provide users with the highest quality and performing product on the market. Rather than adapting industrial off-the-shelf components, we are pioneering how aluminum profile cockpits should be designed. Because of this, no industrial square brackets are required, as profile pieces are pre-machined to allow for quicker, easier, and stronger connections. In the same way, we focused on the finer details like the black electroplated premium spring ball T-slot nuts and the custom NLR end caps to combine for improved functionality and user experience. Finally, the combination of the premium finish and materials, custom components, and market-leading design come together for a visual masterpiece.

GROW WITH THE ELITE LITE PRODUCTS

Begin your Elite Sim racing journey with the Elite Lite series. Specifically designed with users in mind, the Elite Lite range caters to those who appreciate flexibility in their ecosystem path. For instance, the F-GT Elite Lite provides a base structure that can grow with different accessories in the Elite range. For instance, as users progress in their sim racing journey, accessories like the Elite Shifter Add-on and Motion Adaptor Upgrade Kit can be seamlessly integrated. This integration enhances the F-GT Elite Lite, offering an even more immersive experience.

NLR HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE SHOCK ABSORPTION FEET

Uneven floors should never spoil your simulation experience. We have kept this in mind when designing our height adjustment feet allowing independent adjustments for the height of each corner of your cockpit. Not only do the custom-designed feet significantly enhance aesthetics compared to the typical industrial feet commonly used in the simulation market, but they also feature TPE shock absorption plugs. Finally, these plugs are specifically designed to absorb vibrations and provide grip on slippery surfaces.

EASE OF ASSEMBLY AND USE

As a result of designing custom components and using advanced manufacturing for precision machined holes in the aluminum profile, this allows easier assembly and more rigid connection as the profile bolts together. Therefore, the unique design seen throughout the Elite series means that the hassles of aligning fiddly corner brackets are a thing of the past. Combining the ease of assembly with the laser-etched line markings on the profile helps you to get racing quicker than any other aluminum cockpit before. Our team individually places each piece in custom foam-molded packaging. Therefore, careful placement ensures the product’s safety during transport and provides a seamless user experience from the moment the packaging is opened.
