Next Level Racing GTTrack vs Playseat Trophy

steel rivals

The verdict

The GT Track is the better complete package; the Trophy saves money but you will need to budget for a separate seat.

The NLR GT Track at $899 includes an integrated seat and targets the complete-package buyer, whilst the Playseat Trophy at $599 is a lighter, seat-less steel frame. The GT Track's integrated seat makes comparison tricky unless you factor in a separate seat purchase for the Trophy.

Next Level Racing GTTrack wins on

  • Complete package with integrated seat included.
  • Heavier frame provides more stability under braking.
  • No need to source and mount a separate seat.

Playseat Trophy wins on

  • $300 cheaper at $599 versus $899.
  • Lighter weight for those who need to move the rig.
  • Freedom to choose your own seat type and brand.
