Great review! I’ve had this now since Christmas and for the price it’s pretty hard to beat once you get past the non adjustable pedal plate. But even then, still great value.
Hi Karl great video was looking at these cockpit to further enjoy racing sims. How would you compare it to the GT omega Titan? Also is the Titan slightly smaller foot print?
should reveiw one of the ebay specials, got a gt omega art copy for 200 quid with seat and for a first rig im very happy with a g pro and t-lcm mounted to it
Hi karl, would be nice to have a review on the GT Omega Prime adjustable pedal plate and adjustable seat plate 😅 thanks for your videos i like watching you reviewing stuff for sim racers
Hi Karl mate, Really thinking bout getting this for my very first rig. Im 5'11. Do your legs touch the frame at the sides at all? Stuck between this or saving a little more for the playseat Trophy, logitech g edition. Whats better in your opinion?
i will get DD cls 8nm and v2 pedals... do you recommend this cockpit or maybe fanatec cls cockpit? or maybe something else?? so i need something SIMPLE, small, and with seat included... what do you suggest?
which one you choose gt racer, art, prime or playseat trophy? i'm not casual driver i consider that maybe move some time my cockpit and play other games... and one more question is it possible to put my car seat on gt omega cockpit?
Is the don't touch there for guests? It's not telling you the owner not to touch, but a warning for anyone else not to adjust it after you've spent painstaking .... minutes? fine tuning it? /s
Karl, I wish you'd do a review of the Upshift R-Pro, for £300 you get an 8040 profile rig with easily as much adjustability as the Trakacer Tr80 lite or GT Omega Prime lite for a lot less money
I'd happily review one if they got in touch! :) But having a quick look it's less money (£55) because they do not include a shifter mount (£45 extra) and they have only used corner brackets to secure the wheel deck uprights instead of proper thick steel plates... unfortunately this means flex and is the last place to cut corners.
I realise you can't really give your email out on here, but if you contact Upshift either on their email or web chat function I'm sure Jonathan can work something out mate, I'd really like you to see it
GT Omega Art costs 50% more (~$200) to ship to USA. GT Racer is free for Amazon Prime members.

You can put two ratchet straps between the seat and the tubes in the middle to reduce the lift up.
The DDX I just got is super solid and that with a gaming chair does great for my arcade console rig
its just a old gt omega pro ive had my one for years with some mods its quite rigged i keep it for the foot print
Oh wow yes it is! I'd totally forgotten about those!
No $#!+
Just looked at my GT Omega Pro rig and it is almost identical.
All it really needs is the extra bracing along the long base bar then.
I dig the shirt man. Good old Super Mario World.
Hi Karl great video was looking at these cockpit to further enjoy racing sims. How would you compare it to the GT omega Titan? Also is the Titan slightly smaller foot print?
The Titan is a much better cockpit in every way mate!
The do not touch is so it won't recline during installation of the top half to bottom half of seat.
It's sprung forward, it will never recline unless you're sat in it.
should reveiw one of the ebay specials, got a gt omega art copy for 200 quid with seat and for a first rig im very happy with a g pro and t-lcm mounted to it
I might take a look, I'd just be worried about longevity, poor welding etc. how long have you had yours?

You'll be fine at your height and there's pros and cons to both mate, only you can decide.

I've not tested the Fanatec CSL but this or the GT Omega ART are both great starting points.
What did you chose in the end? I also have the CSL DD 8nm with the elite v2..
Thanks Karl!
which one you choose gt racer, art, prime or playseat trophy? i'm not casual driver i consider that maybe move some time my cockpit and play other games...
and one more question is it possible to put my car seat on gt omega cockpit?
Prime all day long mate! Depending on the car seat yes.
Hi Karl!
Do you have any plans on reviewing the Moza HGP Shifter?
I could buy one in if there's enough interest.
is it easy to mount a wheel base with a clamp? i have a Thrustmaster TS300
Yes mate, just clamp it on! lol

@@KarlGoslingI'll get in touch with Jonathan and see what I can do
@@KarlGoslingis there an email where they can get in touch?
I realise you can't really give your email out on here, but if you contact Upshift either on their email or web chat function I'm sure Jonathan can work something out mate, I'd really like you to see it
For reference, there's a few rigs with the same fixings for the wheel uprights, Treq One, Digital Motorsports ASR1 and SimLab GT1 Evo
cant seem to figure out how to mount my csl dd to this cockpit do you happen to know the size of the bolts you used
M6 mate.
Aren’t these supposed to come with a strengthening kit now?
It only came with what you see here mate, arrived about a month ago.
Is it better to get something like this or a wheel stand like the GT omega DD-X and add a seat later?
Full cockpit is always the better experience if you have the space and budget.
This or the ddx from gt omega?
Hmm check both reviews and you decide mate.
@@KarlGosling well mate i havent test them but you have. So which one is with less flex?
Does anyone know if the Logitech G923 is compatible with this cockpit ?
It is.
Hey, I always wondered what's your height. That would be quite usefull information for me
6ft mate.
@@KarlGosling Thanks!
Karl makes video i watch
👍
this is suspiciously similar to the og gt omega pro cockpit
Yes isn't it!
how tall are you?
6ft
@@KarlGosling right thank you for the help i actually bought it because of u keep it up
I wish the tail never half to be helped go up and I do agree with yoda a small town would be fun + actuall atomic breath like nah that’s a win win 🏆
