INDUSTRY FEEDBACK ON ELITE RANGE
“For someone with a design background I can’t help but be blown away with how this thing looks, Next Level Racing have knocked it out the park with this one this looks absolutely incredible. If were comparing this to a car we would be comparing it to something like a McLaren or Ferrari it’s that level of finish”.
"This rig is the most solid rig I have used, flex isn’t even a consideration here. The build process is as easy as you get at this quality and rigidity and the instructions help make this as pain free as possible."
“I can honestly say this is a fantastic cockpit to own. Both the GTelite and F-GT elite units are solid as bricks, they look great and they have a lot of options for expansion as you gear and priorities change over time as a sim racer”

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.

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. The custom designed feet are not only a major aesthetical improvement on typical industrial feet commonly used in the simulation market, but they also Include TPE shock absorption plugs 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.
