DESIGN MEETS STRENGTH
The F-GT Elite 160 Front & Side Mount Edition stands out in the world of aluminium extrusion cockpits where quality and strength are often compromised. This exceptional product boasts flex-free aluminium extrusion and a custom Next Level Racing® 160mm x 40mm profile, providing unmatched strength at the cockpit's base. With the F-GT Elite 160, users can confidently enjoy a true multi-position cockpit for Formula, Hybrid, and GT driving without sacrificing design or strength. The F-GT Elite 160 features a premium thick-walled profile and a custom 160mm X 40mm profile for the base of the cockpit, with a total weight of 60kg. This custom shape of the base profile provides extra strength and refined aesthetics. Precisely designed multi-folded pedal plates combined with thick carbon steel removes deflection and flex to provide a stronger and more rigid platform for users to attach their highest performing electronics. The strength can be seen in the FEA (Finite Element Analysis) Tests comparing the innovative F-GT Elite 160 plate designs to other flat steel or aluminium designs seen in conventional cockpits on the market. Pedal Deck – equivalent to 18.44mm steel or 26.5mm aluminium
UNMATCHED CUSTOMIZABILITY
The bespoke sliding pedal plates and wheel deck have been designed to provide easy and quick distance adjustments for pedals as well as compatibility with the continuously expanding pedal market. Equipped with 2 slotted 5mm carbon steel pedal plates with double precision folds, this setup ensures supreme rigidity and straightforward compatibility.

TAILORMADE FOR THE ELITE
The F-GT Elite 160 cockpit provides a long list of unique custom engineered components to provide users with the highest quality and performing product on the market. Rather than adapting industrial off the shelf components, we are pioneering how aluminium profile cockpits should be designed. Square industrial brackets are no longer required as extrusion pieces are pre-machined to allow for quicker, easier, and stronger connections.
The attention to detail continues throughout the cockpit, with details like the black electroplated premium spring ball T-slot nuts and the custom Next Level Racing® shoulder bolts and end caps completing the whole package. The premium finish and materials, custom components and market leading design come together for a visual masterpiece.
EASE OF ASSEMBLY AND USE
By designing custom components and using advanced manufacturing for precision machined holes in the aluminium profile this allows easier assembly and more rigid connection as the profile bolts together. The improved design means that the hassles of aligning fiddly corner brackets are a thing of the past. Combining the ease of assembly with the laser etched line markings on the profile help you to get racing quicker than any other aluminium cockpit before. Each piece is individually placed in our custom foam packaging to ensure the safety of the product while in transport and providing a seamless user experience from the time the packaging is opened.
