Next Level Racing® GT Elite Racing Simulator Cockpit – Wheel Plate EditionvsTR120S V2 Racing Simulator with Seat Slider Kit

The Bottom Line

Choosing between these two aluminum profile cockpits comes down to whether you value a seamless, premium assembly experience or a traditional straight-upright design that simplifies monitor placement. While both deliver outstanding rigidity for high-torque wheelbases, their execution in packaging, quality control, and geometry differs significantly.

Note

The Next Level Racing GT Elite features angled wheel uprights, which can restrict how closely you can position a single monitor behind your wheel rim. If you plan to mount a monitor directly to a stand immediately behind the wheelbase, the Trak Racer TR120S V2's traditional vertical uprights offer more straightforward clearance.

Why choose Next Level Racing® GT Elite Racing Simulator Cockpit – Wheel Plate Edition

8.8
Overall Rating
  • Lighter physical weight: At 34.5 kg compared to 37 kg, it is easier to maneuver during assembly and positioning.
  • Flawless out-of-box experience: Features premium packaging, excellent build quality, and clear instructions paired with helpful official video guides.

Why choose TR120S V2 Racing Simulator with Seat Slider Kit

7.2
Overall Rating
  • Standard upright geometry: Avoids the angled upright design of its competitor, making it much easier to mount third-party accessories and position monitors closely.

The Verdict

If you want a frustration-free build with flawless quality control and a lighter overall footprint, the Next Level Racing GT Elite is the superior package. However, if you require straight uprights for specific monitor or accessory mounting and do not mind potential shipping delays or sorting through confusing instructions, the Trak Racer TR120S V2 remains a highly rigid alternative.
