F1/GT Hybrid Cockpit? Finally. - AZRacing CS-PRO Review
AZRacing are back and have released their CS-PRO - a hybrid simracing cockpit which can be used in either F1 or GT/Rally positions. It can even do karting! The redesign saves on their shipping costs while still being rock solid, perfect if you're a direct drive user like me.
Jump in and we'll go over how this rig performs. I'm primarily an iRacer, so I chat about it from that perspective.
Note, the base itself is just $350, which is really solid value. You'll note though that accessories and the seats especially raise the price. Still, an F1-capable rig this solid for under 1000!

Thank you, sir. After watching yours and HOJ reviews on this rig. I made the purchase of the CS PRO rig and I am really happy. It's great. 🎉
Very well done review! I have a NLR setup and I use it for Flight, iracing and farming. This rig you reviewed has really sparked my interest now. Thank you for taking the actual time to explain and give an honest opinion. Or at least, what appears to be very genuine opinion. lol. Please be safe and do some more. Cant wait to see what your next adventure will be.
Awesome, thank you!
I ordered the rig but only the rig and seat thinking that I'd be able to order the additional parts later but unfortunately that seems not to be the case on the website. It's charging me for a whole another cockpit. Please share if you know anything about adding to completely customized order later Thank you have great day
Do you think I should cancel order and reorder
I'd just email them. They're a pretty small team and pretty responsive
@elliotmaddox I have reached out on email and Instagram, so I hope they get in contact evn left my personal phone number Thanks again
Sorry for the gap in contact. I have contacted them and received my rig it's great. Took about a month to ship. 🎉 Thanks again for your help and review 👍

my man goes on viral!
Awesome video and review. Keep up the great work!!
Thanks a ton!
hey i came across your channel and you seem to be using azracing cockpits. im interested in the sv-pro - want to know if you have any experience with it, or azracing in general? cheers
Late reply sorry! Really good. They're pretty responsive if you use wechat and they're open to modifications if you need (if you're tall like me for example). Solid rigs.
This is sick. You can get the rig and a seat for 650 bucks? Shipping to US is only 40 dollars? Only thing that comes close is the Track Racer RS6, but that is still about 100-150 bucks more for the whole setup.
For something this solid, absolutely competitive
Love your setup Elliot!! I tried one at the Spanish GP 2 days ago, the F1 seating style is SOOOO F*cking comfy!!!
Legend! I think we'll see a demand for it if F1 continues on the path it has (and with the iRacing license split). Who knows. Blue skies anyway with new brands on the prowl
Can I run the standard seat in formula style mode or do I have to use the formula seat
The mounting points are the same, but with the way a standard seat is designed I don't think it'd be very comfortable!
A link into the companies web site would have been nice, so I could do some of my own research, otherwise a great video and review
Sadly haven't posted enough to be able to do links but agree! Here they are: www.azracing-simulator.com/
thank you great video keep going
give us more chinese sim cockpit brands
Your legs are hitting the bars?! Ergonomics are absolute most important aspect of sim racing and this looks lacking. Wheel base should only have side or top mounts and hoops should be very far spaced for optimal ingress and egress. TrakRacer TRX is still best out, but not without some room for improvement. This looks far from upper echelon design, adjustability and quality
Totally, it's usable but far from perfect - I gave some feedback and they've actually revised the design on the wheel plate which is great, it extends further. Still, if you're 188cm or over, you're better off sticking to GT
@@elliotmaddox I'm finding many aren't paying attention to making sure there are adequate adjustability and a few extra inches which make a huge difference. Hopefully they'll start paying attention
@@herlegz6969 Happy to give you an update - the team provided me a slightly higher frame (the red part), and longer base plate, as they're targeting anyone up to 200cm. Might put this in a video later (planning to do a GT video anyway).
Dope video, thanks for sharing. Big fan of compact sturdy rigs, this will be cool to research. Currently using the Playseat trophy. Cheers.
Glad I could help!
You live in China. I heard it is very nice there... Blink 5 times at the start of your next video and ask the bartender if he can order you a pizza. We'll know what to do.
lol
Also can you do a video setting it up and getting all the other stuff like pedals and steering wheel
I am 6foot3 what do you mean by gt one do you recommend me not buying this because I will be to tall for it I’m a little confused I’m new to all of this racing simulator stuff
You'd definiltey be too tall for the F1 seat / position, but you can get their GT seat and mount it in a "GT Position", where you don't sit as low as F1. Recommend!
Does the wheel plate have a mounting pattern for the logitech g pro?
It's got a whole bunch of different mounting positions with holes that support nearly any base, I'd say you'd be fine! The pedal rack is also adjustable which is a nice touch. You can reach out and I'm sure they'd be happy to take photos of it for you
Thanks for the review - very informative. Great concept for an 'all in one' cockpit however I noticed your legs are very close to the cross bar above your shins. Just looks a little cramped to me anyway.
if you’re chasing realistic cocpit for f1 thats as close as it gets imo
Yeah I comment on this - this is absolutely on the limit, as an 188cm. I'd avoid going for the F1 setup if you're anywhere near my height! GT would suit better. Their foldable seat I think goes for 199 which is decent value
I'll add as well - I gave feedback on extending the mounting plate slightly longer to accommodate this, and they've just revised the design to extend it out slightly, which is great!
Thanks dawg - I'm super stoked for those gears!! love it! what a great review video.
My man
Hey Elliot, another great video! I'll also be sharing a vid on this cockpit in the future and I have to admit, the structural integrity is extremely nice. Hopefully the rest of the parts arrive soon so i can finish building It, thet nailed the quality out of the park with this cockpit and the cable management opening on the tubing section is super nice!
Legend - awesome to see you went with them. Agree, the cable management is a really sleek addition.
Hey Elliot, super nice review! Just wanted to ask how the pedals have held up so far? I've been looking at some of the other stuff they have and it all seems super high quality so I thought I'd ask you how they've been long term Thanks in advance 🙌
Hey mate sorry I missed this! Consistently impressed me. Just uploading a new video now which covers their newer cockpit. Pedals are solid as a rock.
@@elliotmaddox No worries! I just got their cs-pro cockpit, missing a few bits but so far seems super solid so far! pretty impressed with the quality overall, just need to get the pedal and seat mounts and i'm good to go. they also seem like a super friendly company too, which is always nice!
Nice preview. Never heard of these guys but the more, the merrier. Cheers
👍
