Find your place on the grid with Next Level Racing

A simulator is more than a wheel and pedals. Your seat, pedal position, steering height and screen placement determine how the whole setup fits into your room and daily routine. Next Level Racing offers different ways to create that driving position, from space-conscious solutions to dedicated cockpit installations.

At Sim Race Webshop, start your search with the space you have, the hardware you plan to use and whether the simulator needs to move between sessions. Then compare cockpits, wheel stands, monitor supports and optional upgrades as parts of the same layout.

Choose your starting point: foldable cockpit, stand or permanent rig

A foldable cockpit is worth considering when your racing space has another purpose between sessions. Compare the operating footprint, folded dimensions and practical handling rather than assuming that every folding design is equally easy to store. The Next Level Racing GT Lite Pro is one option to explore, with the exact mounting and hardware limits checked on its product page.

A wheel stand can be a useful route when you want a dedicated position for the controls without immediately buying a full cockpit. Consider how your existing chair will behave when braking, how the pedals are supported and whether the chosen model offers a future seat-mounting route. Compare the Next Level Racing wheel stands individually; accessories and expansion options differ.

A permanent cockpit makes sense when you can allocate a regular space to your simulator. Compare wheel mounting, seat options, pedal adjustment and access to the rig. Explore the Elite Series alongside the other cockpit designs rather than choosing by appearance alone.

GT or formula: plan the driving position first

The labels GT and formula are useful starting points, but the adjustment range of the exact cockpit is what matters. Think about seat angle, pedal height, steering reach and the space needed to get in and out. Check whether the selected model supports the position you want and which parts are needed to achieve it.

Compare the F-GT Formula and GT Simulator Cockpit with other Next Level Racing cockpit options. Do not assume that F-GT, F-GT Pro and their accessories are identical or interchangeable. Match add-ons to the precise product name and version.

Check the mounting for your wheel base and pedals

Before choosing a rig, write down the exact wheel base and pedal model. Then compare the mounting pattern, required brackets, available adjustment and the manufacturer's approved hardware limits. A general brand compatibility statement is not a substitute for checking a particular direct drive installation.

Building the electronics at the same time? Explore Fanatec, SIMAGIC and MOZA Racing, then return to your cockpit choice with the selected models. A cockpit provides mechanical support; it does not add PlayStation or Xbox compatibility to the connected electronics.

Give your screens their own plan

A monitor stand should suit your screen dimensions, weight, VESA mounting pattern and intended distance from the seat. Check whether the listing is for a single display, a multi-screen arrangement or a particular expansion accessory. Do not assume that a stand pictured with several screens includes all required arms or brackets.

Browse Next Level Racing monitor and TV stands and compare free-standing designs with any supported cockpit-mounted options. Allow floor space for the stand itself, cable routing and access to the simulator. Screens and other electronics are only included when expressly listed.

Plan motion and accessories as separate upgrades

Motion changes the requirements of the installation. Check the exact platform, compatible cockpit, required adapters, software and game support, load limits and clearance around moving parts. Follow the manufacturer's installation and safety instructions; do not assume that all Next Level Racing cockpits accept every motion product.

Use the motion platform collection as the start of a compatibility check, not as a list of universal add-ons. The same principle applies to shifter arms, keyboard trays, seat brackets and monitor mounts: confirm that the selected accessory is approved for your cockpit.

Three practical setup plans

A shared living space: compare a foldable cockpit or wheel stand, measure both the in-use and stored layout, and decide where the equipment will go after racing.

A dedicated racing corner: start with the seat and cockpit footprint, choose suitable mounts for your controls, and position the screen independently of how the promotional photo is arranged.

A rig designed to grow: choose your intended future upgrades before buying the base structure. Check the supported seat, mounting and motion routes so later additions are deliberate rather than improvised.

Next Level Racing questions answered

Is a seat included with every cockpit?

No universal inclusion should be assumed. Read the package contents: some products are seats, frames or add-ons rather than a complete seated simulator.

Will my direct drive base fit?

Check the exact base, cockpit and mounting option together. Required side mounts, front mounts or adapters may be sold separately.

Does a racing cockpit include the wheel, pedals and screens?

Only if the listing explicitly says so. Lifestyle photos may show a fully equipped setup to illustrate use.

Can I add motion later?

Possibly, depending on the specific cockpit and platform. Verify the approved combination, adapters and installation requirements before buying either item.

What information helps you recommend a cockpit?

Send your available floor space, height, wheel base, pedals, screen plans and whether the setup must fold away. Ask Sim Race Webshop for cockpit advice before finalising the build.
