I love you dont need to pay the extra for sidemounting just to make it sturdy and not have flex. That base is ridiculously sturdy. This is hands down the best cockpit for the price. The best. Even if only 100 less then some others near it with the seat. Its still better and a little less for this quality. For sure!!

Great review! I bought the NLR F-GT Elite Lite a few months ago and love it. When I bought it, I couldn’t find any reviews on their Elite Lite series, so this review fills a much needed void. I’d recommend this rig to anyone wanting to move into the aluminum profile range of rigs.

for less than 1k that rig looks bang on point, if I didnt already have a rig I would get this for sure.

Great review. Will definitely take a look when I’m in the market for a profile rig later in the year. I really like to seat too.

Nice review! Personally, I don't like the Aluminum profile rig from Next level Racing for one major reason. The 2 vertical post are always way too tall and angle at you. I looked at all the pictures and reviews online and it's always the same thing. These are like 4-6 inches taller then other companies like ASR & GT Omega. I like my tv/monitor screen to be lower and not far behind the wheelbase so that my steering wheel fit perfectly with the cockpit view in the game. With this rig, the 2 vertical post are really in your Field of View.

Hello Shaun. You did a review on the seat for this rig prior to this one. And it made me look into the seat as well as the rig and I purchased them both for the exact price that you mentioned. Which I also think is a pretty good price. Haven't put it together yet as I have to make room for it but looking forward to using it. I have been using a wheel stand and old dining room chair and was looking for a rig, but price was the hold up. And this fit what I was looking for. I appreciate the info. And nice shoes BTW.

This is a great budget seat. It is not a rigid as my junkyard seat, but that seat would cost closer to $400. Also my junkyard seat has bennt one way over the years from teh single support side.

This was a great review! I have purchased a Fanatec DD Extreme wheel and was looking for a mid range rig that could support the 15 NM of torque that the wheel can put out. I think this rig will handle that. I really like the pedals you are using, what brand and type are they?

As an owner of a fgt elite I can tell you you forgot the main negative part. The dd base pillars are way too high. If you mount the monitor close to you as you should, the pillars are hiding a bit of the screen. Also, although I understand your point about the budget, it's still pretty expensive compare to other options with more features for not much more bucks

The uprights being too tall and in the way of a monitor is my biggest worry. My young nephew visits and wants to drive occasionally. I’m concerned about the uprights blocking his view. And mine as well

@Eskoxo 2 ай бұрын

When i got it years ago there was only the high end elite model for $999 and im pretty happy with it but if this $499 option was available i probably would have saved the $500 seems good enough to me.

Thanks, have you used or even reviewed the FGT elite LITE? Do you sacrifice anything with the formula option?

Looking at this to replace my playseat evolution the center bar drives me nuts and makes it uncomfortable after long runs

@MrKlawUK Ай бұрын

are the uprights regular profile? I’d like something with shorter uprights to fit under a regular desk (so around 75cm with wheel mounted) - would it be possible replace those?

What is meant by his statement at the end about putting "shims" underneath so the seat can tilt back and better support his legs? As someone considering this rig, I'd like to better understand what that means and how it can be done. Thanks!

@IvebenKruzen 2 ай бұрын

It's not just this rig that has this issue, it's mostly all profile rigs when mounting a seat that attaches from underneath such as most reclining seats. You can buy seat mount spacers to raise the front if needed to better support your leg angle. Side mounted seats use side mount brackets that have an angle adjustment so that isn't an issue for those.

@MrDanesorensen 2 ай бұрын

@IvebenKruzen thanks so much! Brand new to all this and looking to build my first. So if the seat is not side mounted, will it most likely have those adjustment devices available for sale (or are they universal). Appreciate your time :)

How many days did it take you to clean up all those white styrofoam balls? Just when you think you got them all... bang there's more the next day. Open cell foam would be a better choice but I guess it's a cost savings and you only have to deal with it once. 😃

Next Level Racing have such a bad sales channels in Sweden, This rig is 810 USD. Trak Racer TR80 Lite and Simlab GT1 Evo is 500-520 USD.

@deathpallie 2 ай бұрын

The only reason this rig seems "affordable" is because it doesn't come with a monitor or shifter mount. After adding those two important bits, it doesn't seem like such a great value.

@mandan8945 Ай бұрын

Comes with a shiftermount as standard.....

laser etched logos are a bug at best, and certainly not a feature. They bring absolutely nothing to the comfort or functionality. They only serve as advertising that you're paying to be put on there.

Buyer beware: I have the F-GT Elite Lite and agree that it is great. The ERS2 seat that I purchased with the rig broke the first day I used it. I returned the seat and have been waiting for a refund for over 2 months now. Next Level Racing has terrible customer service!!
