GTPLAYER's sim racing lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which steering wheels work with the GTPLAYER racing simulator cockpit?

The panel's holes are made for the major brands: Logitech, Fanatec, Thrustmaster and Moza. If your wheel base doesn't line up exactly, you can drill two new holes with an ordinary drill and mount it where you want.

Can this cockpit handle a direct-drive wheel?

GTPLAYER says the frame uses 2-inch alloy steel tubing, cold-pressed and bent to handle the force of high-torque direct-drive wheels such as Fanatec. Check your wheel's torque rating against the product listing before you buy.

How big is the cockpit once assembled?

Assembled, it measures 51.2 x 21.7 x 43.3 inches. Box A (the seat) is 9.3 x 32.7 x 22.8 inches, and Box B (the alloy frame) is 6.3 x 33.5 x 22 inches.

Why did only one box arrive?

The cockpit ships in two boxes, A for the seat and B for the frame, and they can arrive separately. If you only have one, the other is usually still in transit, so wait for both before you start assembly.

Does the seat recline, and how do the speakers work?

The seat reclines to 160 degrees. Two Bluetooth speakers in the seat back handle mid and high tones. GTPLAYER says adding its dual-channel Bluetooth transmitter and extra bass speakers gives four-channel surround, so check the listing for which audio parts come in the box.
