Fanatec, a leader in sim racing hardware, has unveiled its inaugural racing chassis, the ClubSport GT Cockpit, marking a significant expansion of its product lineup.
This cockpit is designed to cater to both seasoned sim racers and newcomers, offering a blend of adjustability, stability, and comfort.
Adjustability and Comfort
One of the standout features of the ClubSport GT Cockpit is its highly adjustable seating system. Users can effortlessly switch between an upright road-car position and a semi-reclined Formula-style stance, accommodating various racing preferences. The cockpit is compatible with most racing seats available in the market, featuring 290mm mounting points for versatility.
Tool-Free Adjustments
Emphasizing user convenience, the cockpit incorporates a quick, tool-free adjustment mechanism. This design allows racers to easily modify the seat, wheelbase, and pedal positions, ensuring an optimal and immersive racing experience without the hassle of traditional tools.
Robust Construction
Constructed from 50mm diameter steel tubing, the ClubSport GT Cockpit boasts a sturdy and flex-resistant frame. This robust build minimizes flex, providing a stable platform capable of handling high-torque wheelbases and heavy-duty pedal sets, essential for maintaining precision during intense racing sessions.
Integrated Cable Management
In collaboration with its parent company, CORSAIR, Fanatec has integrated effective cable management solutions into the cockpit’s design. Strategically placed cutouts and a passively-cooled power brick holder contribute to a clean and organized setup, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.
Monitor Support and Accessories
The cockpit includes an adjustable onboard monitor mount compatible with standard 100x100mm VESA mounts, supporting screens from 32” to 49” ultrawide, delivering an immersive field of view. Additionally, a free-standing monitor accessory, available separately, supports triple-screen setups for ultimate immersion. Optional accessories such as shifter and handbrake mounts further enhance customization, allowing users to tailor the cockpit to their specific needs.
Availability and Pricing
The Fanatec ClubSport GT Cockpit and its accessories are available for preorder through the Fanatec webstore as of January 2025. Pricing details and a comprehensive list of compatible accessories can be found on the official Fanatec website.
With the introduction of the ClubSport GT Cockpit, Fanatec aims to set a new standard in the sim racing community, providing a versatile and immersive solution for racers seeking both performance and comfort.
