Who says Gran Turismo says GT cockpit
The exclusivity of Sony is, in total, in its eighth opus. And the racing community awaits this outing with a firm footing. As with every new installment, the release of this Gran Turismo 7 on PS5 is also an opportunity to test the performance of the console. If you too can’t wait to put your hands on your ps5 steering wheel, installed in your GT car, ready to explore the asphalt, you will have to turn to a SimRacing cockpit offering the appropriate position. Unlike the Formula position where the driver finds himself in an almost recumbent position, the GT position is higher, comparable to that which you would have in a classic car, except for a few inclinations.
Wheel Stand 2.0 – NextGen Wheel Stand
The obstacle to acquiring a racing cockpit is often the space that can be devoted to it. Indeed, not everyone has a room dedicated to simulation! But there are solutions for this.
The first is the flywheel. If you have a good gaming chair, you can equip yourself with a flying support that will allow you to place all your electronic accessories there. With the release of WheelStand 2.0, Next Level Racing revolutionized the market by offering a foldable steering wheel stand with all the functions requested by the racing community. You will find your location for the adjustable gear lever and handbrake, the possibility of fully adjusting the position of your pedals and your steering wheel, but above all a receptacle for the wheels of your gaming chair. Gone are the days when hitting your brake pedal when entering a tight corner meant rolling backwards with your wheeled seat. With the WheelStand 2.0you stay firmly in the pedals!
F-GT Lite – The best foldable cockpit
If you now have the space for a cockpit, but don’t want to sacrifice that space permanently for your favorite racing game, the foldable cockpit solution is perfect for you. the F-GT Lite of Next Level Racing is the most complete collapsible cockpit on the market. It allows you to drive in Formula or GT position, because after a session on GT7 you may soon want to follow up on F1 2022, with a release scheduled for July 2022. Fully adjustable, the cockpit adapts to your size and can be adjusted according to your feelings of comfort. Its breathable fabric seat, ultra comfortable, will allow you to stay seated for long hours in the circuits.
ELITE and Motion Platform – To go further
The pilots Simracing the most experienced will want to treat themselves to the best of the best. And go from the BMW M3 to a Ferrari, Lamborghini or more modestly to a GT at heart, ultra-prepared, like the Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3. And there, we cross a course to pass into a new dimension with the ELITE cockpits of Next Level Racing. Those profiled aluminum cockpitscompatible with motion platform of the brand for dynamic driving, equip themselves with an entire ecosystem of accessories allowing them to become racing simulators fully fledged. But beware, this world is currently only dedicated to PC players, consoles not supporting (at the moment) motion platforms. And for that, it will be necessary to barter Gran Turismoa Sony PlayStation exclusive, for another game (iRacing, F1 2022, Assetto Corsaetc).
You will have understood it, the simulation racing is above all a question of space, budget, and desired sensations. For the release of Gran Turismo 7, and if you are a beginner or are still in your first emotions in sim racing, therefore favor the flying brackets and foldable cockpits Next Level Racing, now available in France. For experienced pilots with the right environment, head for a fixed cockpit such as the F-GT or the GT TRACK. And whatever option you choose, always stay fully on the accelerator, pedal to the floor, ready to brake on entering each turn (in your racing gamebecause on the road be careful… but gaming is made for that)!
