- Do I regret buying the Next Level Racing F-GT cockpit? In this video I wanted to talk about the Next Level Racing F-GT sim rig a bit more as I have been getting a lot of comments about it recently and I wanted to clear a few things up about it.
Link to my related videos below,
🔴 Next Level racing have added additional braces to fix flex on the pedal plate and wheel stand, I have a video on the pedal plate after the additional bracing here: • Next Level Racing F-GT...

We usually always regret buying what we do. because something better is always there to remind us
that had we spent a little more, this is how much better it'd be.
Had mine since January... no issue with it at all. I love it. I am 6'5" tall and fit in it great. I beat the hell out of my Elite pedals and I don't recognize any issue with the brake flex... seems people are a bit nit-picky. My concern is upgrading to a direct drive wheel. I am not sure it could handle it without some tweaking. Sitting in the F1 position you just feel comfortable, there is a zero-G kind of vibe to it like on good adjustable beds (I have one, I know)... I can play for hours and hours and have no fatigue in the seat.
It can take it.
Go watch Shaun Cole at the Simpit
He does a review and adds a DD wheel
Zero flex
@@nflisrigged1395 thanks!
Thanks for the comment, do you have a picture or video of your setup? I am 6,6 myself and wonder how the seating would be.
I'm in Africa so it impossible for me to get this beauty even if i have the money. It's very frustrating. You have the money to get it but you can't. So enjoy guys your sims and don't complain too much. One love
what part of Africa you at?
@@tonyyimbo maybe buy it over a contact and ship it to you?
This costs $1470 shipped to India 😂
@@dhruvbahl5888 I bet you will find an indian factory for building it for you :P
In kenya we have them maybe you should relocate
Absolutely no need for bolsters when there aren't any lateral G forces. Looks like it has about twice the padding of a real racecar seat too. I suspect people who find it uncomfortable might not be making the most of the adjustments provided.
Guess it is all about expectations and personal demands. Some people even complain about noticing a tiny bit of cogging in their dd wheelbases when turned off while I am completely hapy with my gear-driven Logitech G920
People who complain about cogging while a DD base is powered off don't really understand why that happens only while it's off. In short: magnetism. When the base is on, this effect disappears because the electromagnets cancel that out.
I SURE DO! I've had this for years and years and as the time goes on I keep finding more and more downfalls and issues. For 500 it's okay but if you were to get one in 2024 get used and don't pay full because it isn't worth it anymore
Had mine since March this year right before quarantine, and quite honestly I do believe your initial video for the FGT persuaded me to purchase it. With that said, the FGT has been wonderful in F1 and GT positions. I use a Logitech G29/PS4 and it works great. The seating is great for endurance races as I race in a league. But, I do use the lumbar as thigh support for long stints in GT position. I’ve got the butt kicker gamer 2 on the way, along with the true brake mod from AXM... we’ll see how those two items work with the rig once I get them installed. One more thing, I did purchase the monitor stand as well, using a 35” MSI curved screen and it works pretty good. All in all great rig and accessories, great reviews as well...keep em coming!
Let me know what you think of the butt kicker, been thinking of one myself
Jason Storm I sure will
Mine comes in on Tuesday. Excited to try it out!
How u like it ....?
@@nflisrigged1395 I honestly like it way now than I thought! I made a video about it. Feel free to check it out. It was the right choice for me!
Finally a video that adresses these common complaints
This video answered all my questions about this cockpit I stuck between buying this and the omega gt titan. Just not sure which one to go for most important thing for me is flex.
Just wanted to add this is a very good video. If want to know about the next level f-gt
Thanks for sharing this video with your thoughts. Bought this rig today, just gonna get it probably in a month 😅
Do you still own it?
I like mine very much. I’m 6’7 and it works great for me.
I use mine with castors for flight simming; no regrets eh! The lumbar cushion is a nice bonus eh! I have only used in GT position for sim flying; as I have a Playseat Formula Red for F1 racing eh
@jason I’ve contacted NLR re the monitor mount and they are sending me updated / stronger outer arms. I tried so hard on the weekend with your hacks, and even used a $4 “pole” from K Mart that is 120cm long to support the outer arms, but the lack of adjustability makes it so hard to use... I’ll keep you updated re the new arms
Hey, thanks for the feedback, let me know how you go with them and I may contact them about this also but are they just stronger or will the arms new design fix some of the fitment issues?
Jason Storm I’m not to sure... I’m guessing they are just stronger arms (judging by the lack of response regarding adjustability). NLR jumped on it within hours, and no issue with free issuing the updated arms. But we shall see. I’ll report back.
Cheers for the video man.
Lol put a pillow down :)) im sitting on a stool would love this rig ;)
I think its good got it for a year now still happy
What the idea height from the ground the television needs to be enjoy this racing sim. I’m planning on getting this and my current setup puts the base of my TV 12-13 inches off the ground
I don't see why the flex in the pedal tray would be an issue, it doesn't exactly take a degree in engineering to figure out how to fix it
Easy fix for a handful bucks. Just fixed that a few days ago with dreaded rods.
So what do you recommend then? Asking for a friend lol
Bought it last week. It now comes with stabilizing bars for the pedals and wheel as options. I guess it didn’t used to come with the seat new in box?
"It does flex a little bit"
I am here freaking out that's way too much flex.
I agree with you, They have now come out with an additional bracing kit that comes standard with this cockpit that reduced flex in the pedal plate, I have the video linked in the description
@@JasonStorm I ended up preordering the new F-GT Elite instead. I came from a TR8 and even that was too flexy for my liking.
Yea
Has anyone else found that the bracket that holds the seat position has just wear down and now just doesn't stay up?
Is it possible to use a different seat on the rig? 🙏🏻
yes , esp nxtlvl racing seats
Did you try it in the gt position, and if so is it good?
GREAT video ,, i almost bought this seat ,, but im really looking for seat with totally NO flex on the pedals,,, you have a tip for me , what seat to buy ?? think im going for the GT TRACK seat !!! regards from amsterdam
I have recently done an update on this and it takes out the flex, check out my new video on the difference
What is monitor size?
Hello mate! Great video first of all! Secondly, I’m interested in buying this but have not a lot of space. What’s the minimum size of this seat in the formula position? Thank you!
I don’t have this rig anymore so I can’t measure it
@@JasonStorm apologise. Just been watching your recent sim building videos! Do you recommend this rig for beginner VR sum racers?
@@dwightschrute782 it’s okay for a cheaper price point, depending on the country your in and the competitors rigs in that price range, in Australia I know there are some sim rig companies selling 8040 rigs at a similar price which I would buy over this now
@@JasonStorm great! Thanks Jason!
Sorry, which rig is this again? I didn't catch the name... Lol
This work with gran turismo dd pro wheel?
Yes
The seat is fucking terrible!!!!! Completely flat, flexes like crazy, sticky cheap vinyl, the list goes on. I personally swapped out my seat for one from a Subaru WR-X. Night and day better. My brake peddle plate I put an “L” bracket to stop the flex. Now I absolutely love the rig.
I had a problem with the seat structure and the manufacturer refuses to guarantee! buy another brand
Your flex test actually was too far outboard and in the wrong direction as the flex test should be from the direction that the brake pedal travels.
Hi thx for movie, u think he is the best for price ? ty
for a formula style rig yes
How did you get your monitors so close to wheel i cant get mine that close.
In the instructions it shows you which slot in the frame to put the monitor mount, I didn’t put it in that one on purpose because that limits you to how close your monitors can come to the wheel I put it in the one closer to the wheel
Jason Storm gotcha I will try that
Hi,i m Italian. Do you advice this cockpit? Thanks
Hi, getting comfortable in it can sometimes be a compromise, I’ve never been able to set it up in the exact position and angles I would like but everybody is different with what they like, this cockpit had 2 major issues, the pedal plate breaking and side to side movement of the wheel mount when you mount higher torque motors on there, they both seem to be rectified with now with additional braces that now come with it
@@JasonStorm thanks man! Do you have some advice? I see the nacon PCR 500 also...
Svive Racing D1 Simulator or Next Level Racing F-GT ? same price.
I’m not sure I don’t have any experience with svive racing
what do u have holding your keyboard?
I bought it off eBay, it’s just a laptop stand/table
Ok thanks
I am 10 do you think i would fix in it i am 1m40cm.
There is a lot of adjustment in it so ‘should’ be able to
I bought this a year or two ago and I didn't like it. It felt a bit tacky and was a bitch to put together so I ended up selling it.
For me the pedal plate flex is a deal breaker...
Since this video they have now come out with additional bracing to fix pedal plate flex, I have updated the description with a link to my video on it
can confirm the newer version comes with additional bracing for the wheel mount and pedal plate and has absolutely NO flex whatsoever
@@enunez61 did you get yours directly off the site or something like amazon?
What i totally hate is the wires... Look at behind the monitors it's disaster
Sim labs all day long.
Wait wait wait, are you telling me the sear from a vehicle that costs tens of THOUSANDS of dollars is better than the one that comes with this budget cockpit?
Pls take ur sleeping pills after making a Video.
Thx
Dude talks sooo slowwww.
Get to the point....to much sideways waffle
