15/01/2024 Hardware Leave a comment

Simons Gaming Solutions is a new brand by the Dutch sim racing webstore Simplace founded by Jesse Simons.

The company now presented its new entree-level S1 Sim Racing Cockpit. The product sets out to compete with brands such as GTOmega, Playseat, Next Level Racing, and Trak Racer to name a few.

SGS decided to develop an affordable hybrid design merging the adaptivity of an aluminum profile rig platform with the strength and esthetics of a tube rig. The unit is designed to work with most major sim racing brands out of the box. The easy-to-assemble cockpit comes with a quality fiberglass racing seat for comfort and durability while keeping the price down. The chassis incorporates a sturdy shifter mount with zero flex.

The wheelbase mount, pedal mount, and seat slider are all easily adjustable to suit all body types ranging from short (+/- 1,60m) to tall (1,90m+). Last but not least, the rig features Dynamic LED Lighting, which will not make you faster but will surely enhance the aesthetic appeal of your setup.
