Featuring a patent-pending 4080 aluminium profile reinforced with FEA-tested 8mm carbon steel plates, it eliminates flex and deflection common in lesser rigs. With 55 seat adjustment options, laser-etched assembly guides, and a comprehensive accessory kit included, it offers a seamless setup and customizable comfort. Compatible with major wheel brands and upgradeable to motion platforms and Formula/Hybrid positions, itโ€™s the official cockpit of Scuderia Ferrari esports and a benchmark for serious sim racers worldwide. ## Description The Next Level Racing GTElite Wheel Plate Edition redefines what a mid-range aluminium sim racing cockpit can deliver. Its patent-pending 4080 aluminium profile, combined with 8mm carbon steel reinforced upright direct mounting plates, spring ball T-slot nuts, and through-bolt construction, produces a chassis that in many cases outperforms conventional 16040 profile cockpits on the market. Every plate has been Finite Element Analysis tested: the multi-folded wheel deck is equivalent to 14.3mm solid steel, the pedal deck to 10.84mm, and the shifter plate to 18.51mm โ€” eliminating the flex and deflection found in flat steel or aluminium alternatives. Adjustability is exceptional. Four-millimetre carbon steel seat brackets provide 55 adjustment combinations, while the ratchet flex-free seat slider and universal height and angle brackets suit every driving style. Laser-etched alignment markings across all profile pieces make setup fast and precise. Out of the box, the GTElite includes a ButtKicker Gamer 2 adaptor, shifter and handbrake plate, cable clips, tool holder, magnetic spirit level, and shock-absorption feet. It upgrades to motion platforms and Formula or Hybrid positions with optional kits, and supports the full NLR Elite monitor and accessory ecosystem. Official cockpit of Scuderia Ferrari esports. *Motion Kit and Formula kit need to be purchased separately. Review: Great piece of kit - I've had the wheel plate edition set up for a few months now so can give my review without rose tinted glasses - still have to say I am more than pleased with this rig - went from desk top set up & decided to go full rig instead of (not that much cheaper) fold away set ups - so pleased I did - takes a few hours to build with clear instructions & a video on line if needed - I have a direct drive wheel set up & this rig is solid, doesn't move at all - it is a finger print magnet though due to the plated finish but that's a small issue - overall its a great piece of kit Review: This sim cockpit is next level. - This rig is probably the best thing I have ever bought from desertcart. Goes together great. I like how it is really modular. You can really fine tune it and it feels great when you sit in it. You get a bit of extra hardware too to add additional components. I wish I had bought this a year ago rather than wasting my money on starter/budget rigs. This thing looks awesome and is really easy to get in and out of due to the design of upper arms leaning backwards. Very happy to be the owner of one of these. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 10 years.

Goes together great. I like how it is really modular. You can really fine tune it and it feels great when you sit in it. You get a bit of extra hardware too to add additional components. I wish I had bought this a year ago rather than wasting my money on starter/budget rigs.

Very happy to be the owner of one of these. ### โญโญโญ OK... but flawed design *by C***N on 1 September 2025* Not hugely adjustable... and very fiddly. Can be adjusted but very messy due to angular nature. Takes a long time too. The flight pack is abysmal. The arm for the flight stick is way to short with very limited adjustment, and the throttle base is way too low. No way of making any useful adjustments. Overall, this entire ecosystem is a one-size-fits all. If it works for you you're OK. If it doesn't... it's just a pain. So if you want it for flight simming ## Frequently Bought Together - Next Level Racingยฎ GTElite Racing Simulator Cockpit- Wheel Plate Edition (NLR-E022) - Next Level Racing ERS3 Elite Series Reclining Seat (NLR-E050) - Next Level Racing Elite Direct Monitor Mount Black Edition (NLR-E017) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - ๐Ÿ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** โ€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - ๐ŸŒ **Shop Globally** โ€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - ๐Ÿ’ฐ **No Hidden Fees** โ€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - ๐Ÿ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** โ€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - ๐Ÿ”’ **Secure Payments** โ€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - โญ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** โ€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/443730570-next-level-racing-gtelite-sim-racing-cockpit-wheel-plate-edition](https://www.desertcart.us/products/443730570-next-level-racing-gtelite-sim-racing-cockpit-wheel-plate-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-06*
