Next Level Racing GTtrack Cockpit
Rigid steel GT-position cockpit with seat, harness and shifter mount; no monitor stand
A heavy steel cockpit with a reclining leatherette racing seat, shifter mount and very adjustable wheel and pedal plates. It was a benchmark years ago and still works, but aluminum profile rigs now beat it on stiffness per dollar.

Scores are AI analysis of public information (specs, manuals, published reviews and owner reports), not a hands-on test. How we rate
Pros and cons
- Seat with sliders and recline included, ready to drive out of the box
- Wheel plate, pedal plate and shifter mount all adjust widely
- Heavy steel frame stays put on the floor under braking
- About 50 kg and bulky, so moving it means two people
- Cantilevered wheel deck flexes with stronger direct-drive bases
Watch out: Heavy and takes 2–3 hours to assemble; for the same money a frame-only aluminum rig plus a seat is stiffer and more upgradable.
What it feels like
- Stiffness
- Wobble
- Damping
- Adjust range
- Portability
The steel frame feels planted once the castors are locked and the feet are leveled.
The GT seating position puts your legs out low in front of you, like a real race car.
At about 48 kg it is hard to move around a room.
Solid like a heavy workbench, but not something you'd fold away.
What the GTtrack works with
- Rated for wheel bases up to about 12 Nm before the frame starts to flex.
- Seat included.
Wheel bases it can hold
Checked against the frame's torque rating.

Our take
AI analysis of public information, not a hands-on review.
The GTtrack is Next Level Racing's 2018 steel cockpit with a fixed GT-style seating position and a bundled reclining bucket seat. It was marketed as rigid enough for direct drive wheels and load-cell pedals, and it adds lockable castors, adjustable rubber feet, a gear shifter and handbrake adaptor, and a Buttkicker Gamer 2 adaptor. One retailer lists it at about 48 kg, 138 x 120 x 55 cm, rated for 150 kg and users from roughly 120 to 210 cm. Those are retailer figures, not brand-confirmed.
For a first-rig buyer the main issue is price and availability. NLR launched it at $899 USD, and retailers still list it at around that figure. Our $599 estimate looks too low. The brand's old product page no longer resolves, and some stock is shown as out of stock or no longer on sale, so confirm it is current before you buy. You'll also need a separate monitor stand. If you want a modern, modular profile-style rig, cockpits like the NLR GT Elite or an aluminum-profile rig give you more upgrade room.
Questions buyers ask
Does it handle direct drive wheelbases?
NLR markets it as rigid enough for direct drive wheels and pro pedals. It has no official torque cap in the sources I found. For high-torque bases, check the wheelbase mounting plate fit first.
Is a monitor stand included?
No. You need a separate stand, such as NLR's monitor stand, or a desk or TV stand.
Is it still available new in the US?
Unconfirmed. The old brand page returns 404 and some retailers show it as out of stock or no longer on sale. Check the NLR US store and authorized dealers before ordering.
