Next Level Racing has introduced two new Simulator Cockpits, of which one is the NLR RC Essential Simulator Cockpit (RC E)
The RC Essential Simulator Cockpit (RC E) is being retailed as a budget solution, yet, being a ready-to-go product, it is strong, adjustable, and comes with a proper racing seat.
Developed as an Official FIA Licensed Product, the compact GT-style design focuses on rigidity, connection strength, and long-term durability, and despite its relatively low cost, is engineered to handle Direct Drive wheelbases and load cell pedals. (Direct Drive wheelbases up to 13Nm)
The space-efficient and easy-to-assemble RC Essential high-strength frame with reinforced connection points forms a rigid structure, ensuring stability while eliminating flex, and comes with a premium GT seat combining a breathable SIMAERO Mesh, synthetic suede, and cold-moulded foam to deliver the needed comfort and support.
Its fully adjustable wheel deck and advanced pedal system make it a suitable product for a wide range of users. The included seat slider allows quick and precise positioning, while the pedal system features angle, forward/backward, and lateral pedal adjustments. Combined with the adjustable wheel positioning feature, every user can fine-tune the setup for maximum control and comfort.
Features:
- Engineered for unmatched rigidity and stability, delivering strength you won’t find at this price point.
- Built to handle high-performance wheelbases and precision braking with confidence.
- Designed to meet recognised motorsport simulation standards for authenticity and performance.
- Customise your driving position with angle, height, and distance adjustments for optimal control.
- Ergonomic seat with SIMAERO Mesh, synthetic suede, and cold-moulded foam for long-session comfort.
