Sim racing · head‑to‑head
While both of these budget-friendly accessories target aluminum rig owners, they solve completely different problems. One protects your expensive wheelbase from being used as a grab handle, while the other ensures that very wheelbase mounts securely without custom drilling.
Be prepared to source your own screws for the Trak Racer adapter, as it does not ship with mounting hardware. Similarly, the grab handle requires standard M6 or M8 bolts and T-nuts to mount to your profile rig.
At just $9.90, the Handle is a cheap, highly effective insurance policy to protect your steering shaft from guests hoisting themselves out of deep bucket seats. Meanwhile, the Trak Racer Wheel Plate Adapter, currently priced at $7.11, is an essential, flex-free mounting solution for Asetek owners who want to avoid drilling custom holes.
