SimXPro GT-RS Setup Guide: Direct Drive Mounting, Monitors and Cockpit Upgrades

A good cockpit should hold your wheel and pedals in the same position lap after lap. The SimXPro GT-RS Sim Racing Cockpit is a compact aluminium-profile GT rig with room to expand. This setup guide shows what the base chassis includes, when to add a front mount or monitor support, and how to avoid ordering the wrong parts for your wheelbase.

How much room does the GT-RS need?

The GT-RS uses 40 × 80 mm aluminium profiles. SimXPro lists a 125 × 50 cm frame footprint excluding the seat, so leave additional space for the chosen seat, display, cables and access to the rig. The GT driving position, wheel height and tilt adjustment, and pedal height, reach and tilt adjustment make it a flexible starting point for a fixed home setup.

Choose wheel and pedal mounting first

The base GT-RS listing includes a universal wheel plate and Profile Pedal Deck. It is designed for bottom or flat wheelbase mounting as standard. The product page lists a wheelbase capacity of up to 20 Nm and a load-cell force rating of up to 200 kg. These are limits for the specified chassis configuration; check the particular wheelbase and pedal hole pattern before assuming a direct fit.

If your direct drive base needs front mounting, review the separate GT-RS Front Mounting Bracket. This bracket is an optional upgrade, so do not assume it is included with the base cockpit. A rigid attachment and the correct bolt pattern matter more than a generic compatibility label.

Single screen or triple monitor setup?

The GT-RS Single Monitor Mount is a compact integrated choice for one display. For a wider field of view, the GT-RS Triple Monitor Mount is the dedicated option to investigate. Check screen size, VESA pattern, available room and overall monitor weight before buying any integrated mount; the exact limits and included fittings are on the accessory pages.

Moving the rig and adding accessories

If the cockpit must be moved for cleaning or room changes, consider the GT-RS Wheels and Mounting Kit. Verify the finished rig's combined weight and how it will be secured during driving. The profile structure also provides mounting possibilities for shifters, handbrakes and cable management, although particular accessories may need their own brackets.

Recommended GT-RS build paths

• Compact single-screen GT setup: GT-RS plus single monitor mount and a compatible seat.
• Front-mount direct drive setup: GT-RS plus front bracket after verifying your wheelbase pattern.
• Multi-screen setup: GT-RS plus triple monitor mount after checking display dimensions and load limits.

The base cockpit is a chassis, not a complete wheel, pedals and seat package. Product variants and bundles can differ; review the selected variant before checkout.

Frequently asked questions

Does the GT-RS include a seat?

The base GT-RS chassis listing does not include a seat; some store variants or bundles may add one. Confirm the selected variant.

Does it support a direct drive wheelbase?

SimXPro lists the chassis for direct drive bases up to 20 Nm in the specified configuration. Check mounting pattern and use the front bracket if your base requires front mounting.

Are the monitor mounts included?

The single and triple GT-RS mounts have their own product listings. Select the one that fits your displays and cockpit configuration.

Can I add wheels later?

The wheels and mounting kit is a separate accessory. Check the full rig weight and stability before use.

Specifications and included parts may vary by product revision or selected variant. Check the current GT-RS and accessory pages before ordering.
