Product details
A solid base for GT racing
The reinforced frame helps reduce unwanted movement under steering and braking. Its compact footprint suits a permanent home racing position.
Adjust the contact points
Set the included seat slider, wheel position and pedal plate. Pedal angle, fore-aft and lateral adjustments help align the braking position with the driver.
Comfort through longer races
The GT seat combines breathable SIMAERO Mesh, synthetic suede and cold-moulded foam. The RC E is an official FIA licensed product.
Build a consistent GT driving position
The RC Essential is designed for a dedicated sim racing space. A fixed frame and included seat sliders allow the seat, wheel and pedals to remain in a repeatable position between sessions. Adjust the pedal distance and angle to keep braking comfortable, then set the wheel height and reach to match. The lateral pedal adjustment also helps align the controls with the seat.
Choose hardware around the mounting platform
The cockpit has been tested with direct-drive wheelbases up to 13 Nm, making the mounting pattern and overall hardware fit the next points to check. Use the correct hard-mounting hardware for the selected wheelbase and pedals, and keep cables clear of the seat slider. The SIMAERO Mesh and synthetic suede seat surfaces combine ventilation with a supported GT position. For homes that require regular storage, compare the RC Foldable before choosing a permanent layout.
