Next Level Racing GT Lite foldable cockpit review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 сер 2024
- Following on from the success of the F-GT Lite, Next Level Racing has launched a second foldable sim racing cockpit, called the GT Lite. Even though it’s basically a GT-only version of the F-GT Lite, it could be more appealing to some sim racers. Find out why in this review.

Watching this while sitting at my ironing board rig....
Haha, that's rad Mike. Ironing boards actually work surprisingly well.
Best comment ever!
This feels like an informative commercial with how professionally done it is lol
Thanks so much for your kind words David-I really appreciate the support. 👍
Thanks for being so thorough. This helped me choose the GT Lite over the F-GT Lite and Playseat Challenge!
Thanks for your comment Dee-I really appreciate the support and I’m stoked that my review helped you out. See you on the virtual racetrack. 🏎🏁
I've owned and used this another for 6 months playing gt7 and I love it for it's storage but the only drawback I have found is the steering wheel mount. Your wheel attaches to a plate on a bar which is wrenched down with a single piece. Unfortunately only having that single point to secure it to a single bar I have found the tightening screw stripping itself by boring into the plastic casing and causing the wheel mount to move up and down during driving. It usually isn't a problem because the racing wheel rarely gets pushed up and down but can happen when in some heated races, forcing you to adjust mid race, which can be a disastrous. Luckily the clamps that are used to keep the wheel on the plate attached to the bar rest on my legs and keep the wheel from moving down. Because of this the clamps do dig into my thighs and can leave bruises or leave me sore. This product would be flawless if the single point screwdown for the wheel had two points of contact instead of one and would be much more sturdy
Thanks for your comment and feedback Joe. Sorry to hear you've had some issues here. It might be worth contacting Next Level Racing for a replacement under warranty.
I just ordered mine yesterday, can't wait to get it!
Stoked to hear that Danny. Hope you enjoy your new GT Lite rig. 👍
After I watched your video just bought this cockpit, thank you for this amazing video review.
Thanks for your comment Deibys-I’m stoked you liked the review. Enjoy the new rig! 👍
It is good? I wanna buy it, but i use my pc for shooter games too, but i dont have cimfortable pace for those too thing. I would use it sometimes. Its worth it?
@@lorinckovacs598 definitely it is if you play racing games, I do Gran Turismo Sport every single day. I’m using it with Logitech G29.
What's the measurements from the Chair to the pedals? Trying to work out if it would fit between my sofa and TV if you could let me know that would be amazing
Bought this instead of the Playseat Challenge. Fantastic thorough review, really helped with the decision! Arriving in 2 days 😊
Thanks so much for your kind words Zara. I hope you're enjoying your new rig-happy sim racing! 🏎🏁
Thanks for the in depth review, convinced me to go for it.
Cheers for your kind words Kasper-happy sim racing bud. 🏎🏁
very nice review thank you, I made the purchase, can't wait to try it myself!
Thanks for your comment Vinny-I'm stoked you liked the review. Enjoy your new rig and I'll see you on the virtual race track! 🏁
This is the best review I've seen so far. I've just purchased the flight Simulator lite version, which is based on this. And haven't yet found a better review on these series, well done and thank you!
Thanks so much for your kind words Mark-I’m stoked you liked the review. 👍
Precise clear excellent review
Ive owned and used this for over a year now. zero issues with my CSL DD. Takes the 8nm with ease in my oinion and I dont feel Im missing feedback...sure it might not eel as strong if it were more rigid but do you feel that will change your driving? I really don't. For what it is this is the best budget cockpit that has seat and all shifter mounts right out the box. Very durable too. I sfold seat forward and slide away from my PC setup and can be playing a non racing game within minutes. At my PC desk I use a monitor arm to swing forward and out my monitor...a must have! Love this thing! Hard to beat in this price range...if it can be beat!
Thanks for your comment SR&T and for sharing your experience running the CSL DD. The GT Lite is a fantastic little rig. 🤙
@@ADAPTNetwork most welcome. just my thoughts on the setup.
This is the one I bought for £160. I think I'll enjoy using it just as much as him lol. We've been playing shotoku on assetto corsa, I'm hooked!
For sure mate. I haven’t explored the Assetto Corsa mod scene that much yet. But, it’s on my to-do list. 👍
imma pick one of these up, get a piece of sheet metal and mount it on top of the wheel base mount coming out to the right side for my hydro handbrake, I run my handbrake right by the wheel as that's just what I've gotten used to, this is the cheapest chassis I can find that has the shifter in the right location and it seems simple enough to modify it for my handbrake placement
Thanks for your comment Cobra. For sure, the GT Lite is a great value rig and should be very simple to modify. It might also be worth looking at the F-GT Lite/GT Lite Flight Pack ( adaptnet.work/4WQW ). The pack includes some additional mounting plates that you may be able to modify to suit your needs. Hope that helps. 👍
Great review. The best on yt
Thanks so much mate-really appreciate it. 👍
Very well made video, super useful!
Thanks for your kind words Zeus-I'm stoked you liked the review. 👍
amazing review, thanks!
Thanks for your kind words blargh-I’m stoked you liked the review. 👍
The best review ill ever see
Thanks for your comment Faisal-I'm stoked you liked the review and I really appreciate your kind words.
Great video! Professional caliber
Thanks Mario, I really appreciate the support. 🤙
Thanks so much for this video.
Thanks for your comment braveheart-I’m really glad you found the review helpful. 👍
I'm in complete agreement with the comment below..... really good review and was going to buy another seat until I saw the your review of this..... sold to me hands down.... review done by a user that is passionate about this product is a bonus they should be paying you....
However I am trying to find out information and finding not many people giving information im requiring clearly .... what is the maximum body weight in stone that can sit in this chair without causing damage to the chair? In short what is it maximum weight load?
I've had about 6 different weights said to me and none are the same.... so have come back to the source of me buying it so hopefully get the definitive answer.
Looking forward to your reply and thank you again for the review that has changed my gaming experience.
Thanks for your kind words suzy-I'm stoked you liked the review and are enjoying the rig. The GT Elite can support a maximum weight of 20 stone 6 pounds (130kg). Hope that helps. 👍
Great video I just ordered this rig and a Logitech g920. Just crazy in two years the rig went up to 299 where i bought it.
Thanks for your comment and kind words Pompey. I'm stoked you liked the review; you'll have a blast with that combo. 👍
Thanks for the Review. I'm tempted to get one now after watching . Will my thrustmaster t150 fit using the clamp fitting. Cheers Ernie.
Thanks for your question Ernie. For sure, you should be able to use the clamp to secure the Thrustmaster T150 on the wheel deck without any problems. You may, however, need to adjust the position of the wheel deck forward to allow more space for the clamp-this is really easy to do (7:00). Another option is to purchase an adapter to hardmount the wheel ( adaptnet.work/5L4o ). Hope that helps. 👍
@@ADAPTNetwork Thanks for the reply and the link to the adaptor. Ernie.
hell, the F-GT Lite or GT lite could even be used as a camping chair too if you wanted, since it's foldable :3
Haha, love it mate! 🏕
Best review by far
Thanks so much Demetrios-I'm stoked you liked the review! 🤙
Hi, great review. Did you experience any bunny-hopping under hard braking like in your F-GT review?
Thanks for your kind words mate-I'm stoked you liked the review. Regarding your question, I didn't experience any bunny-hopping issue with the GT Lite. It's a great little rig, though I would also consider Next Level Racing's new GT Lite Pro for extra rigidity ( adaptnet.work/GTLitePro ). Hope that helps. 👍
Hello and thanks for the review! I'm just thinking about which of the two models to buy.
On the pictures of the F-GT Lite it looks as if the shifter is positioned further below and on the GT a little further up (which I think is better) Can that be? Or do they have the same position?
Thanks for your question Dome. Both the GT Lite and F-GT Lite have the same wheel mount, front leg and shifter plate design. So the shifter position is in exactly the same place on both rigs. If you know that you will only be racing in a GT driving position, then I would recommend opting for the GT Lite. It’s a little bit cheaper, so you can put the extra saving towards a better wheel and pedal set. On the other hand, the F-GT Lite gives you the option to race in a formula position if you ever wanted to.
Just got this a few days ago. It was great until I realized that the swivel entry is useless if I'm placing my gear shifter to the right. I need to hop over the cable which is annoying. Placing it to the left is flawless but I'm not used to right-hand driving (US-based). Also, assembling the shifter plate is exhaustive because aligning the screw holes is too hard.
Thanks for sharing your experience Ethan. I hadn't considered how a left-hand drive setup would affect the swivel entry. One solution could be to use some cable ties and a USB cable extension (if needed) to run your shifter cable down the front leg of the rig and across to the left-hand side, to keep it out of your way. Do you think this would help?
@@ADAPTNetwork that's exactly what I'm doing. Ordered the extension cable and clips, will be arriving later today.
@@ethankalen763 Haha, great minds think alike dude. 🤙
Great review! What do you think about putting the new CSL DD on the GT Lite since it only has peak torque of 5Nm?
Thanks for your question comp, I’m stoked you liked the review. The wheel deck on both the GT Lite and F-GT Lite is pre-drilled for Fanatec wheels (6:42), so you should have no problems there. In order to access the triangle mounting pattern for Fanatec wheels, you just need to adjust the position of the wheel deck forward. With a peak torque of 5Nm-without the optional boost kit-on the CSL DD, however, you may lose some of the feedback through vibrations in the frame. That being said, I tested the rig with my Thrustmaster TX at 100% force feedback (peak torque 3.9Nm) and I didn’t notice any movement when racing. So, since you will likely be running force feedback at less than 100%, I think this combo will make for a good experience. Hope that helps. 👍
Perfect
Thanks for that review :)!
I got the Thrustmaster T150 Pro + wheelstand pro. I want to upgrade my setup. Is it worth getting the GT-Lite with the fanetec DD pro (5nM) gran turismo editon? Or do I lose too much ffb/ vibrations through the rig because of the flex
Thanks for your comment iLLu-I'm stoked you liked the review. I think the GT Lite could just about handle the Fanatec DD Pro or CSL DD (at 5Nm). However, I think you'll have a better experience with the Wheel Stand 2.0 ( ua-cam.com/video/RZEVk902xBc/v-deo.html ), as it's much more sturdy. Hope that helps. 👍
@@ADAPTNetwork thanks for the reply! I got some issues with my sitting position, that's why I thought it would be better to get a complete package with stand and seat (uncomfortable with my office chair). Alternatively i would need a chair/seat that can also be stowed away) any tips? :)
No worries @@janillutv. In this case, the GT Lite or F-GT Lite ( ua-cam.com/video/B9w_4PwtAj4/v-deo.html ) are probably your best options. In my opinion, these are the best foldable rigs on the market today. You should be fine running a DD Pro, but be sure to tighten up the supporting strap. You can also utlise the extra webbing for maximum rigidity (6:00) and reduce your force feedback settings if needed. 👍
Hi good video , can you explain me how you closed this seat ? You are able to place it vertical ,how did you do?
Thanks
Thanks for your comment Christian. The folding process is a little tricky to explain, but I demonstrate the rough method I use in the video (3:04). To fold the rig into the a vertical configuration, that can be lent against a wall, you need to first tilt the wheel mount assembly backwards to allow space for the pedal deck to fold up and secure underneath it. I hope that makes sense. I would suggest experimenting a bit to see what works for you and the space you have to work with. 👍
Informative and usefull. Watching in 2024 ;)
Thanks so much for your kind words Joel-I'm stoked you liked the review. Happy sim racing! 🏎🏁
@@ADAPTNetwork decided not to get it tho. Heard some stuff from other members of my league about bad build quality in the long term
For sure @@Joeliminator; there's always a compromise with foldable rigs to balance structural strength and foldability. Though, from the sounds of it, you may need something more robust for heavier use in a sim racing league. If you're short on space, I was very impressed with the GT Lite Pro ( ua-cam.com/video/JJpJ7OPT9Lw/v-deo.html ). Another option would be the Wheel Stand 2.0 ( ua-cam.com/video/RZEVk902xBc/v-deo.html ). Hope that helps. 👍
hey, one question, could this thing be compatible with the HORI DLX Force feedback wheel or the Mario kart Deluxe HORI racing wheel?
Thanks for your question Sinbad. From my understanding, both of these wheels are not hard mount compatible; they need to be attached to the wheel deck using their uncluded clamp systems. I think you should be fine here, however, you may need to bring the wheel deck forward (7:00) to allow enough space for the clamps. Hope that helps. 👍
Can anyone tell me roughly at what height does a person's head is while sitting in GT position?
I'm thinking about buying this, but I want to understand at what height should the TV be.
Thanks.
Awesome review! Could you help let me know the exact floor space size needed when unfolded for the GT Lite? Can't find this info anywhere, thanks and keep up the good reviews!
Thanks for your comment Zulashraf-I’m stoked that you found my review useful. When unfolded, the GT Lite has a base footprint of 176 x 61cm. If you include the shifter mount, then it’s about 75cm wide. Hope that helps. 👍
@@ADAPTNetwork fantastic! Thanks for confirming - I've got a small apartment, just fits in the living room with these measurement
No worries @@zulashraf21-glad that the GT Lite fits in your space. Happy sim racing dude!
@@ADAPTNetwork what is the folded depth of the GT Lite if the pedals are detached? I see it’s 45cm with the pedals attached to the seat which is not something I can accommodate but I did hear that it becomes slimmer when the pedals section is detached. Thanks in advance!
Thanks for your question @@SnoozeyM. From my experience, removing the pedals won't make much difference to the folded size. However, removing the back leg might. It's hard to say for sure though, as it depends on the specifics of your space. Hope that helps. 👍
This video tutorial is perfect
Thanks for your kind words Angel. I'm stoked you liked the review. 🤙
Can you switch the side the shifter mount is on like put it on the right
Thanks for your question Josh. For sure-you can easily install the shifter mount on either side of the rig. 👍
Looks like a good rig but the comment regarding DD was a bit concerning. Anyone use this cockpit with a small torque DD setup eg. 5-8Nm? What's your experience?
Thanks for your question xk104. To clarify, I'm not saying that the GT Lite couldn't handle a small DD wheel. However, it's not strong enough to get the most out of the extra torque; you'll simple lose most of it through vibrations in the frame. However, you could increase the rigidity of the frame using extra straps. I recently tested out the GT Lite Pro, which does just that, and it handled my CSL DD well ( ua-cam.com/video/JJpJ7OPT9Lw/v-deo.html ). Hope that helps. 👍
I'm wondering on how to get a mounter for a handbrake.
Thanks for your comment Douglas. It might be worth looking at the F-GT Lite/GT Lite Flight Pack ( adaptnet.work/4WQW ). The pack includes some additional mounting plates that you may be able to modify to suit your needs. Hope that helps. 👍
Great video, thanks! Compared to the F-GT lite, which one has the highest GT seat position? I think it is the F-GT lite, but wanted to confirm.
I have 3x 27" 1440p mounted to a triple monitor bar clamped to the back of my large Steelcase Desk. The bottom of my monitors are about 36" off the ground and 32" away from where I think ill be seated in one of these rigs. I am a bit afraid of being too low in the GT Lite if it is indeed shorter seat height.
Thanks for your comment John-I'm glad you found the review useful. I think the default height of both the F-GT Lite and GT Lite (in the GT position) is actually the same, since they share the same front leg design. This can be increased in height by up to 12cm (4.7 inches). However, on the GT Lite you can increase the height of the back leg as well; so this may be a better option for you.
For reference, in this video, I'm running the GT Lite in a lower position and my monitor is about 81 cm (32 inches) off the ground. Hope that helps. 👍
@@ADAPTNetwork Oh Ok, great! I wanted to save the $$ and get the GT Lite anyways. All of the stock photos make it appear like the F-GT has a taller seat bottom height, I am glad they are the same in the GT position. Thanks for the response!
No worries @@jmasse713. I would also opt for the GT Lite and save the extra cash. I did a quick search and I think it’s currently cheapest on Amazon (amzn.to/2Zj81Fn). Let me know how you get on with the new rig. 👍
Hi I am very interested in this rig. I have some 75 cm wide space in my living room. But according to the specs it is 93cm? While fg-lite is only 75 cm. But looking at the video the width almost looks the same.. Can you shed light on this?
Great question Zheanne. I can confirm that the width of the GT Lite is the same as the F-GT Lite, at 75cm. I'm not sure why the specs say otherwise; it could be a typo. Hope that helps. 👍
Thank you
Thanks for your comment Degea. I'm stoked you liked the review. 👍
At last! the best review ever in the net. I am considering buying this cockpit but I have a question: is it easy to trim down the backrest and remove the two adjustment hubs at the base of the seat backrest, to get the formula position??? Thank you very much!!!!!
Thanks for your kind words Iván-I’m stoked you liked my review. With regards to your question, are you referring to the GT Lite or F-GT Lite?
Sorry, I was referring to the GT Lite, is it possible to simulate a some kind of formula position? Thanks!!!
Hi @@ivancanovas9857, sorry for the delayed reply. I don’t think it would be possible to make these modifications easily. If you’re looking for a foldable cockpit that supports a formula position, I’d suggest simply opting for the F-GT Lite ( ua-cam.com/video/B9w_4PwtAj4/v-deo.html ). Hope that helps. 👍
Hi, i purchased one of these yesterday and will be delivered tomorrow. I forgot to measure my area first and have exactly 61" or 155cm to work with. Side to side is no issue.
The website shows 69" in GT mode, but that seems a lot longer than what i am seeing on videos, so I'm curious if that is taking the chair angle back into consideration? Can anyone measure and tell me the exact length of the rig base from front to back? I.e. end of pedal mount to the back legs. Thank you in advance
Thanks for your question Jabo. I measure it to be about 170cm (67 inches). Hope that helps. 👍
@@ADAPTNetwork thank you so much for the reply! Yes it does help, unfortunately I will have to return this. Went ahead and ordered a playseat challenge and aftermarket shift mount, as much as I didn't want to.
No worries @@3JABO-the Playseat Challenge is still a solid option and was actually my first sim racing rig. Happy sim racing dude. 🏎🏁
I’ve got to look into the space I can put this folded before I actually buy it- how much does it take up in hight? Would like to know if it fits under my desk or not
Thanks for your question Dec and apologies for the delayed reply. Folded, the GT Lite measured about 105(h) x 61(w) x 45(d)cm. If you include the shifter mount, then it’s about 75cm wide. Hope that helps. 👍
@@ADAPTNetwork yeah no worries, I’m waiting out for a while anyway. Thanks for the help
@@dec9083 Cool, let me know if you have any other questions mate.
What wheel is that please. Just want to ensure the thrustmaster t300 is not to heavy and power at 12kg for simulator. Thanks
I tested the GT Lite with the Thrustmaster TX, which has a peak torque of 3.9Nm. The TX is the Xbox version of the T300, so the GT Lite would be more than stable enough for your wheel. Hope that helps. 👍
@@ADAPTNetwork much appreciated
Hey is this al in one with sfeer and evorything
Thanks for your question Fabian. The GT Lite doesn't come with any electronics, so you will need to purchase a steering wheel, pedal set and shifter separately. Hope that helps. 👍
Did the rig come with the bolts to affix the pedals?
Thanks for your question. Yes, the GT Lite comes with a set of M6 bolts to mount your wheel, pedals and shifter. Hope that helps. 👍
Im having an issue stateside the LG Shifter doesn't want to go on right side without interfering with the adjustments for folding the entire unit, came here to see if there was an obvious solution, so far NOTHING. SHIT for us used to shifting with our right hands and driving on the right side of the road.
Thanks for your comment Mark. I hadn't picked up on this, since I run the shifter on the left. Do you think this issue is specific to Logitech shifters, based on their profile shape?
One solution you may want to consider is the Next Level Racing flight pack add-on, which includes two larger mounts. While these are designed for flight sim equiptment, I think that they would also work with sim racing hardware and enable you to attach the shifter further right. For more information on the flight pack, check out my recent article here: adaptnet.work/4WQW
I hope that helps. 👍
@@ADAPTNetwork Thanks for getting back to me, I looked around for a bit, and unbeknownst to me, they did actually address this. There are 4 screws in the bottom of the LG Shifter, It calls to take those 4 out. 2 of them are quite easy to get to, and the other 2 are about 4inches deep into the Shifter, but when these are taken off the clamp used to clip the shifter to a desk or table then comes off, allowing the shifter ample room to be secured via the enclosed screws that the Next Level Cockpit comes with. I have everything set up now. I am absolutely satisfied with the setup. It feels quite organic and comfortable between positions 1 and 2 kinda have a hybrid laid-back but upright still position that gives me enough of both worlds that I can seamlessly go from GT racing on Assetto Corsa, to FH5 over to F121 with ease.
Edit: Now if I could just figure out why it's SO MUCH HARDER to drift with a Wheel lol.
Turns out Sim Racing is NOT intuitive and I pretty much have to start from scratch. But hey, at least I'm comfy while I put my laps in. Cheers!
That's awesome @@marksutherlandjr.2121-I'm glad you were able to sort this out and thanks for the details. Best of luck with the drift practice. 👍
Hey man, can you attach shifter and handbrake simultaneously?
Thanks for your question Nishikant. Unfortunately, the included shifter plate is not big enough to mount a shifter and handbrake together. One solution you may want to consider is the Next Level Racing flight pack add-on, which includes two larger mounts. While these are designed for flight sim equiptment, I think that they would also work with sim racing hardware and enable you to attach the shifter and handbrake simultaneously. For more information on the flight pack, check out my recent article here: adaptnet.work/4WQW
Hope that helps. 👍
Does it come with the wheel, pedals and shifter?
Thanks for your question Finlay. The GT Lite doesn't come with any electronics. So you'll need to purchase a wheel, pedal set and shifter separately. Hope that helps. 👍
great review. by the way its Alcantara not Alacantara
Thanks for your comment mate and heads-up regarding pronunciation-appreciate it. 👍
Would this work well with the logitech g920 wheel and pedals and also the gear shifter?
Thanks for your question Sean. For sure-the GT Lite would be an ideal rig for a Logitech G920 wheel and pedal setup combined with the Logitech Driving Force shifter. All of the mounting points are pre-drilled to fit Logitech equipment, so you should have no problems there. Hope that helps. 👍
@@ADAPTNetwork I've already purchased the wheel and pedals and shifter I just need a cockpit .
Awesome @@seankenny7799-I think the GT Lite will be perfect for your setup. 👍
Hi, can you give us also the last missing dimension in the folded shape? What's the highness?
Thanks for your question Giorgio. With a wheel attached, the height of the GT Lite (when folded) is about 110cm. Hope that helps. 👍
@@ADAPTNetwork that's just perfect to start talking with the GF about it
@@giorgiomariani6805 Haha, good luck mate. 👍
500th Like, nice video. What do you think about running this with a T500RS?
Thanks for your like and comment Conza-I really appreciate the support. I tested the GT Lite with the Thrustmaster TX, which has a peak torque of 3.9Nm. I think the T500 RS maxes out at around 4.4Nm, so you should have no problems. Hope that helps. 👍
@@ADAPTNetwork Thanks for getting back to me!
No worries @@conza1989. Hope you enjoy the rig. 🤙
How tall are you? I'm 5'6 and my gf is 5'1 would our height be comfortable for this seat?
Thanks for your question jayDAWG-apologies for the delayed reply. For sure, the GT Lite would be the perfect size for you. Next Level Racing states that it can support drivers from 4ft upwards. For reference, I'm about 5ft 9.5 inches (176.5cm) and average build. Hope that helps. 👍
looks very cool ... whats your height ? ( i think thats the most important info 2nd weight)
Thanks for your question John. I'm about 5ft 9.5 inches (176.5cm) and average build (around 65kg). Hope that helps. 👍
@@ADAPTNetwork thanks for answering .
No worries @@AntonRacing-glad I could help. 🤙
Does the wheel and pedals come with it?
Thanks for your question Daniel. The GT Lite doesn't come with any electronics, so you'll need to purchase a wheel and pedal set separately. Let me know if you need any recommendations.
Is it able to fit a Logitech G923 wheel?
Thanks for your question Mama. Yes, the wheel plate of the GT Lite is pre-drilled to fit Logitech wheels. 👍
How high off the ground is your desk? It looks like you sit at the desk quite high. Also, how high off the ground is the bottom of the seat off the ground?
Thanks for your question Jared. The desk featured in this video is about 72cm high. However, I now use the adjustable Fully Remi standing desk ( ua-cam.com/video/u6mZ3koQr2k/v-deo.html ). In this video, I estimate that the seat of the GT Elite is about 40cm from the ground. However, both front and rear legs of the seat can be increased in height. Hope that helps. 👍
@@ADAPTNetwork This is incredibly helpful! Thank you. In this video, you aren't using a standing desk? It looks like a regular table. Do you know how high off the ground that is? 40cm sounds great. Is that 40cm at the highest position, or just your current position? Thanks for bearing with all my questions!
Glad I could help @@mrcael1887. Yes, in this video, I used a fixed desk/table with a height of 72cm. The GT Lite seat was set at a mid position, so there was scope to raise it higher.
what desk do you use
Thanks for your question Karthik. Since publishing this video, I've upgraded to the Fully Remi standing desk ( ua-cam.com/video/u6mZ3koQr2k/v-deo.html ). It's great for sim racing because you can adjust the height to line up your monitor with your sim racing rig. 👍
How tall are you, because my legs are very squeezed in and it’s pretty uncomfortable
Thanks for your question ww2nerd. I'm about 5ft 9.5 inches (176.5cm) and average build. I'd suggest running the pedal deck flat against the floor, to increase legroom. Hope that helps. 👍
Does it run on Xbox or pc only
Thanks for your question Cyrus. The GT Lite is pre-drilled to fit most Thrustmaster, Logitech and Fanatec wheels. The Thrustmaster TX wheel that I use in this review is compatible with both Xbox and PC. Hope that helps. 🤙
Is it compatible with the thrustmaster ferrari 458 spider racing wheel?
Thanks for your question Obi-Wan. From my understanding, the Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Spider wheel doesn’t have any bolt points for hard mounting, so it can only be attached to a table or rig using the included clamp. I think that this should work fine on the GT Lite, however you may need to adjust the position of the wheel deck forward to allow extra space for the clamp. This is easy to do by realigning the four bolts that secure the wheel deck to the frame (7:00). Hope that helps and may the force feedback be with you! 🐱👤🔦⚡
@@ADAPTNetwork so in theory It could work thank you , if it's not working I'll just send it back
No worries @@obi-wankenobi1676-happy to help. Let me know how it works out so I can advise other sim racers running the same wheel. 👍
@@ADAPTNetwork the thrustmaster wheel it's just temporary I will want to upgrade , what wheel do you use in the video?
@@obi-wankenobi1676 I use the Thrustmaster TX wheel in this video. It’s a great mid-range option, but stock is hard to find as it’s an older model. Instead, I’d recommend the Fanatec CSL DD, for PC and Xbox ( adaptnet.work/6lqt ), or the Fanatec GT DD Pro, for PC and Playstation ( adaptnet.work/6lrl ). These are the most affordable direct drive wheels currently available on the market, which deliver more nuanced force feedback. Hope that helps. 👍
Does it fold as an f1 cockpit also or juts gt
Thanks for your question. The GT Lite only supports a GT driving position. However, the F-GT Lite can be adjusted to support a formula driving position as well. Here's my review for more information: ua-cam.com/video/B9w_4PwtAj4/v-deo.html
Is it normal the seat itself is super tight when assembled?
Thanks for your question ET. The seat material should be taut to provide enough support. Does it look similar to this video (3:41)?
@@ADAPTNetwork yeah it does. And it seems to be fine. Thank you
Awesome @@ElephantTrap-happy sim racing bud.
I've had this chair for about 8 months now and my main complaint is that it's quite uncomfortable after 1hr of gaming, I've used a cushion to help but it's not ideal!
For the money you can't complain really.
Thanks for your comment K_5. Yeah, I would agree that it's not the most comfortable chair, but still good value at this price point. One thing you can try is placing a large bean bag underneath the seat for additional support. This is something I used to do with the Playseat Challenge. Hope that helps. 👍
Which one do you think is better ?
Thanks for your question Sean. If you’re only going to race in a GT driving position, then I would suggest going with the GT Lite. It’s a bit easier to fold away for storage and you can put the extra saving towards a better wheel and pedal set. On the other hand, the F-GT Lite gives you the option to race in a formula position, should you choose to do so in the future. Personally, if I was starting out in sim racing today, I would probably choose the GT Lite, since I race mostly in a GT driving position anyway. Hope that helps. 👍
@@ADAPTNetwork Thanks for the reply. Think I’ll get the FGT since i play f1. What’s the back leg like when you had it at an angle would it break with all the weight on it?
Thanks
No worries @@seanp7277. The back leg on the F-GT Lite is pretty strong and the adjustment hubs are able to withstand 150kg of force. So, you should have no problems there. Enjoy the new rig mate.
@@ADAPTNetwork thanks do you think it would handle a csl elite ok?
Thanks
@@seanp7277 The wheel deck on both the GT Lite and F-GT Lite is pre-drilled for Fanatec wheels (6:42), so you should have no problems there. In order to access the triangle mounting pattern for Fanatec wheels, you just need to adjust the position of the wheel deck forward. With a peak torque of 6Nm on the CSW Elite, however, you may feel some vibrations through the frame. That being said, I tested the rig with my Thrustmaster TX at 100% force feedback (peak torque 3.9Nm) and I didn’t notice any movement when racing. So, since you will likely be running force feedback at less than 100%, I think this combo will make for a good experience. Hope that helps. 👍
Can i used on ps5
Thanks for your question seydo. Absolutely-console compatibility is determined by the wheel and pedal set you use, rather than the sim racing rig. So, just make sure that your wheel base is PS5 compatible. Hope that clarifies.
So no direct drive wheels?
Thanks for your question tunsiehelden. At the time of making this review, I felt that the GT Lite wasn't stable enough to get the most out of the extra torque from a direct drive wheel. However, since publishing the video, a number of viewers have commented that they have run lower torque direct drive wheels, such as the 8Nm Fanatec CSL DD, without any problems (see Cereal Killr's comment on this video). Hope that helps. 👍
@@ADAPTNetwork Yes that helps thank you. What I’ve learned from other UA-camrs is that indeed the Fanatec GT DD pro can be mounted on this however if you go with the load cell break pedal then it’s not sturdy enough as the middle part wil lift from the floor every time you apply the force needed for a load cell.
@@tunsiehelden Yeah, I would agree with that point, regarding the load cell break pedal. Though, you may be able to modify the rig with a strap and/or a few weights to counter this if needed.
Is it compatible with Ps5?
Yes, the GT Lite is pre-drilled to fit most Thrustmaster, Logitech and Fanatec wheels. So, just make sure that your wheel and pedal set is compatible with PS5 and you’ll be good to go.
Can I ask how tall you are? Sorry if this is mentioned in the review.
Thanks for your question Jay. I'm about 5ft 9.5 inches (176.5cm) and average build (around 65kg). Hope that helps. 👍
@@ADAPTNetwork thanks it does! I'm strongly considering this or the Playseat Evolution.
Glad I could help @@therealJayRoe. Both rigs are good options to get started in sim racing. However, if you are going to be using an H-pattern shifter and clutch pedal, the GT Lite is the way to go.
Can i on ps5

Hello anyone that has this could you do me a huge favour an measure from the Chair to the pedals? Trying to work out if it would fit between my sofa and TV if you could let me know that would be amazing
Thanks for your question Phil. From end-to-end, the GT Lite measures 176cm. Hope that helps 👍
Does it fit? I have only 140cm between tv stand and sofa. Do you thing that I can reduce lenght of gt lite? For example tak away of that last part of prdals stand? Thanks in advance
@@tomasjari9412 I bought it and returned it days later as didn't have loads of space in my living room, it's larger and heavier than I thought and isn't easily foldable to just setup and put away, since i bought a wheel stand Pro v2
@@philtrundle thanks
If it helps @@tomasjari9412, you can easily detach the pedal stand entirely. This will likely fit in your space, buy you'll need to work out a solution for the pedals.
can yoy put an logitech g920 on
Thanks for you question Mat and apologies for the delayed reply. Yes, the wheel plate of the GT Lite is pre-drilled to fit Logitech wheel bases. Hope that helps. 👍
O bought this for 220 Eur. I think it's very good price for that
Thanks for your comment musicselecta. For sure; you get a lot of 'bang for your buck'-or should I say 'economic value for your euro'-with the GT Lite. Happy sim racing. 🏎🏁
Great video but the product sucks, you can't add handbrake, just the shifter, I don't know why they do this. The wheel stand 2.0 is better on this point (and it does a big dif for me).
Thanks for your comment Kass-I'm glad you liked the review. For sure, it's a shame the GT Lite doesn't come with a handbrake mount in addition to the shifter mount. I assume Next Level Racing looked a the rig's target market and felt it was better to reduce the retail price instead. For those looking to mount a handbrake to the GT Lite, it might be worth looking at the F-GT Lite/GT Lite Flight Pack ( adaptnet.work/4WQW ). Otherwise, like Kass says, the Wheel Stand 2.0 is another great option ( ua-cam.com/video/RZEVk902xBc/v-deo.html ).
Length of the system please
Thanks for your question and apologies for the delayed reply. The GT Lite measures 170cm in length. 👍
@@ADAPTNetwork thanks
No worries @@jplsgaming4582, glad I could help and happy sim racing mate. 🏎🏁
@@ADAPTNetwork thanks
that strap out front is in the wrong place...it goes underneath the chair
Thanks for your comment HFX. Next Level Racing recommends using the extra webbing, as I demonstrated in the video, to reduce flex in the wheel mount assembly ( ua-cam.com/video/KZGbnqTcVGI/v-deo.html ). However, like you say, you could also use it underneath the chair to reduce the strain on the back leg. 👍
Is it adjustable for shorter people?
Thanks for your comment AP. Yes, both front and rear legs of the seat can be adjusted in height to accommodate drivers ranging from 4ft (120cm) - 6ft 6 inches (200cm). See: 5:16
asl okkey ..but min 2:28 i have difficult ...
Thanks for your comment Ps. Can you please clarify which part of the assembly you are having difficulty with? Is it installing the shifter plate?

Fantastic @@ps-lupo9807-see you on the virtual race track! 🏁
playseat challenge active seme much better refined
Thanks for your comment Emiliano. I'm still a fan of the Playseat Challenge-it was my first sim racing rig. However, the Next Level Racing F-GT Lite and GT Lite rigs have a number of advantages. For example, an included shifter mount and the ability to hard mount your pedal set. I also found them to be more comfortable over longer driving sessions.
He’s driving on neutral 😂😂😂
I switch between using the H-pattern shifter and paddle shifters to match the car I’m driving in the sim. So, when I’m using paddle shifting, I simply leave the H-pattern shifter in neutral as it’s not connected. Hope that clarifies. 👍
