Sim-Lab GT1 Evo Simracing Cockpit
The Sim-Lab GT1 Evo is an enthusiast aluminum-profile cockpit that brings 8020-style rigidity at a mid-range price, with a DD-ready chassis and flexibility to front- or bottom-mount your wheelbase. It's a solid foundation for a direct-drive setup. Just budget for extras: neither a seat nor a monitor mount is included, so factor those optional add-ons into your build.
