The verdict

Next Level Racing GTTrack: Next Level Racing's mid-tier steel tube cockpit. Provisional rubric average 3.5/5.

Best for

  • Buyers who want a cockpit that looks the part without the profile-rig aesthetic
  • Mid-range builds that balance rigidity with reasonable spend

The GTTrack is a steel tube cockpit with an integrated seat, and it occupies a fundamentally different position in the market to the aluminium profile rigs on this site. At $899, you get a complete, ready-to-drive chassis that arrives with a padded seat already bolted in. No sourcing a bucket seat, no measuring seat rail spacing, no extra $300 on top of the advertised price. For buyers who want to unbox, assemble, and be racing the same afternoon, this is one of the most popular options available. TraxionGG, SimRaceReviews, SimRacingSetup, and Boosted Media have all reviewed it.

The trade-off for that convenience is adjustability. Steel tube frames use fixed mounting points rather than T-slot channels, so repositioning the wheel deck or pedals means working within the range of pre-drilled holes rather than sliding components to any position along a rail. The included seat is comfortable for sessions up to two hours, but it is not a racing bucket seat and taller or heavier drivers may find the bolstering inadequate. Upgrading to a different seat later is possible but involves drilling new mounting holes or sourcing adapter brackets.

Rigidity under direct-drive loads is the other consideration. Reviewers note the GTTrack handles belt-driven and lower-powered DD wheelbases (up to around 8 Nm) without complaint. Push into the 12-15 Nm range and flex becomes noticeable through the wheel mount, particularly during aggressive kerb strikes or rapid lock-to-lock inputs. Boosted Media flagged this as the main reason to consider an aluminium profile rig instead if you already own or plan to buy a high-torque wheelbase.

The GTTrack makes sense for a specific buyer: someone who values convenience over maximum adjustability, runs a mid-range wheelbase, and does not want a three-hour assembly project. If that describes you, it delivers genuine comfort and a solid driving experience out of the box. If you are already planning upgrades beyond 10 Nm, an aluminium profile chassis will serve you better long-term.

Is the Next Level Racing GTTrack worth buying in 2026?

+

On the provisional rubric we score the Next Level Racing GTTrack at 3.5/5 across seven axes (rigidity, adjustability, comfort, compatibility, value, assembly, footprint). It is a steel tube rig from Next Level Racing sitting in the mid tier. Next Level Racing covers the full range from the foldable GTLite Pro through to the F-GT Elite aluminium profile rig, with broad retail availability.

How long does the Next Level Racing GTTrack take to assemble?

+

Assembly time varies by model. Most steel tube rigs take between 1 and 4 hours depending on your experience with Allen keys and whether you have a second pair of hands. Check the spec table above for this model's estimated build time.

Can the Next Level Racing GTTrack handle a direct drive wheelbase?

+

Check the max wheelbase torque in the spec table above. Most steel tube rigs in the mid tier handle entry and mid-tier direct drive without problems. For high-torque bases (18+ Nm), you want a rig rated for the load, or you will feel flex in hard braking zones.

Does the Next Level Racing GTTrack come with a seat?
