Next Level Racing F-GT Lite Review + GIVEAWAY!

- Опубликовано: 24 июл 2024
- GIVEAWAY DETAILS BELOW!
Not all of us have the space for a full cockpit set-up, but most of the portable style cockpits on the market include some pretty heavy compromising when it comes to rigidity and seating position. The F-GT Lite from Next Level Racing aims to change this with a very clever hinge design that allows users to easily change between a GT and Formula seating position, as well as conveniently fold the rig away when not in use.
So let's see if it's as good as it sounds!

When you went into formula position you should have left the back leg down to stop the back tilt when pushing the brake. They did make consideration for this and it is stable enough when the leg is used to prop in this way. Thanks for the insight and helping me decide what to shell out on next
There’s a quick release on the wheel mount bar so you don’t have to crawl in to it.
I was just thinking the same thing.
I was also thinking the same thing. I own one of these (right hand drive country) and the quick release makes it super easy to get in and out of it. BUT, the video would have been less entertaining than watching a tall dude contort to get into the seat without using the quick release! LOL!
I did a follow up video covering this. The quick release on mine was faulty.
Lol i was thinking why is he hopping in it like that hahah
@@boostedmedia new link for your new review of this please ?
A quick note on getting in and out of the cockpit. There is a release on the right-hand side of the wheel support that you can unclip, allowing the whole assembly to swivel on the left. At the time of making the video I couldn't get this to work properly, however I have since managed to sort it out, so here's a quick update: ruclips.net/video/jWVwkMBJ7q0/видео.html
I figured it would have a type of release like the playseat challenge so that makes sense.
Does the rig have any noticeable shake especially on a more powerful wheel than the G920 such as the TSXW
I’ve only tested with the g920 so far.
and I'm guessing the sort of pedal lift issue should be solved in the F1 position if the bar in the back is lowered down to the ground. It doesnt look like it's supposed to be that high in that position. Otherwise, the seat is a clear pivot point.
@@will1856 did u find out?
Ive been waiting for something like this for a long time. I live in Hong Kong where it really is difficult to have a full sized cockpit at home. This would really help me get serious into sim racing without using a desk all the time. I would be really grateful to have this F-GT lite cockpit
I've been looking for a rig like this for some time. Seems like it's perfect for those looking to quickly setup and store away without messing with desk clamps!
To mount your g29 gear shifter you need to remove the third clamp on underside of shifter, there are 4 tiny screws. It tells you this in instruction manual. Fits perfectly then.
This would be perfect for me as I'm currently stuck using my setup at my desk... was looking at the GTTrack but this would be a perfect starter cockpit. Great vid, keep up the good work! Cheers!
i bought F-GT Lite before i saw this video. after using it now for 3 months, all your marks are spot on. i too felt it was a little flimsy as i was building it, but it's actually really solid once everything is set up. i would like to note in my experience, you will run into bunny hop issues from time to time in Formula position with non LC pedals if it's not on some sort of carpet/rug/mat. other than that i am really happy with the chair and my CSL elite setup. once the world returns to normal, i'll be looking into a more solid seat that can handle LC brakes.
I’ve never had a cockpit and just use a wheel on a desk. Looks like an awesome option. Great vid Will
The F-GT Lite would be perfect for me as there is limited space and I would love to be able to start my Sim racing again. Good luck to all!!
Thanks for the review Will. I’d love to have the FGT Lite cockpit because my Dad moved 2 and half hours away. Right now I’m using a little amazon table and a beach chair to race. I could definitely make great use out of it because of its portability. Going back and forth between houses every week, the cockpit would help me tremendously and allow me to simrace more.
I would love to get my hands on one of these the space saving idea is gold
This would be absolutely perfect for me. My room is very small and while I do have a current sim rig, it takes up a ton of space, and the shaft to hold up the wheel legitimately gets in the way of my pedals. Having something with more rigidity and user-friendliness would be a dream come true.
I really think the F-GT lite would be perfect for me. As a uni student who loves his hobby of sim racing and can’t really afford to spend to much on a rig this is more than ideal. I love sim racing and even today I am still using a desk mount setup. Plus I love boosted media 👍
Looks awesome with the adjustable pedal angle but I feel like the playseat challenge would still be my choice. Love my Playseat challenge.
As a college student stuck in a 9x10’ apartment, this rig would allow me to use my new g29 Logitech wheel system, that I haven’t room for atm. As an avid F1 and gt fan, the multiple setups would allow me to play both games to the most immersion. Thank you for such an awesome review!
This will be a great addition for me as my desk and office chair setup is just so uncomfortable. The portability aspect also makes it ideal as space is limited.
The F-GT would be a perfect addition for me since I play both GT and F1 and want to reach the highest possible immersion in both classes without having to have two rigs.
I just got this Will..my very first Sim Cockpit..and love it!..Just a tip for anyone wanting to go into F1 mode..make sure you drop the back bar so it touches the floor..that way when you brake hard..you won't get so much reflex off the ground..
I'd love to have this because I'm just getting started into sim racing and I dont have the space for a full on racing rig. The compact design with the great looking performance are 2 huge factors for me. Thank you!
Hello, I am a 12-year old with dreams of becoming a formula esports or formula driver, most people tell me it’s useless and not worth the work, but I think it is, getting this sim cockpit will get me closer to the dream, and maybe one day, I will get there. All I have right now is a desk and office chair and every time I try and play long term, my back kills me. I have broken track records at go kart places and I want to break records online as well. Please getting this cockpit will mean a lot to me, thanks! I subscribed and liked!
would love to see you guys in the tv, you know, nothing is impossible
Anything is possible when you have faith in the Lord I pray you see success in your future endeavors
Bro is 16 years old now, did bro make it?
This would be a great addition for my buddy as he is literally sitting on a plastic garden chair and using a piece of wood on his lap with a logitech g29 so he hasn't really got a rig all but a bit of wood and a plastic chair also great video as always keep up the good work buddy will look forward to the next video
I have a playseat challenge and this would be quite an upgrade with the F1/GT position options. It looks amazing! 👌🏼
Glad you wore clean socks!!! Your reviews are the ducks guts and I have loved discovering your channel. Have just leant heaps......and can't wait to get my butt into this rig...
I live in northern Italy, you know the situation. Now I race on a normal seat and after just an hour of driving my butt hurts. This would be great to race during quarantene! As I wrote under another video, people please stay home and drive your sim rather than going out, covid is a serious thing, learn from our mistakes!
All the best mate. I really hope things turn a corner up there very soon!
Boosted Media We all hope so, also for the rest of the world obv 🙏🏻
We all pray for Italy and for everyone in the world!
Was literally just talking with a buddy of mine about how we would both love a real racing simulator, because I made one out of wood as a mock up for size, which is now falling apart. Spent $60 on wood and screws and it's lasted a decent time but desperately in need of an upgrade and this would be excellent for the small space that I have in my games room.
Hey, I'm a F1 2019 League Racer dreaming to go eSport, getting to top20 in the world on some tracks with an uncomfortable chair from kitchen. As my back hurts from it just 15 minutes into the race the F-GT Lite would be really helpful for me to get faster and more consistent at the game.
Mr. Pernik, your driving is top-notch and you have a bright and successful career ahead of you my friend. Let's make sure your back is comfortable for those hours of practice so you can continue to kick major butt!
I know Pernik irl when i sit on his chair my back hurts in like 5 minutes :D
Can you upload footage of your top 20 laps?
The Second Coming you can see them in timetrial, for example monaco-17th
Thank you for the review. This is helping me decide what rig I should get. If I could win this, that would be a great start.
Raced with a buddy for 13 years. He got too old for it and I couldn't afford to buy into it. Now7 years later I am in a position to get setup. I've got a list but this rig would change everything! I could get better wheel and pedals! Thanks for the review. I may just buy this rig anyway.
This makes me feel like i could lounge outside in the reclined rig, soaking up the rays while SIM racing.
The idea is a good one. It might make for a great childs Sim Rig if the sizing is right. Currently I have to change over my wheel and peddles on a rig I share with my Goblin, even though he demands my higher end hardware. I would be concerned with all that movement of the rig, and especially the rocking backwards under breaking. Though I like that in testing they have seen the wheel bar move and found a simple correction with that velcro strap. Sometimes simple works best.
Thank you for your review, still deciding on getting it o not! But you answer many of my question, also about how to get in the chair, I saw the update as well.
Cheers!
Always wanted a rig but just didn’t have the space for it and this seems perfect !
The F GT lite would be a perfect fit in my house because i don't have much space in my room and always wanted a proper sim cockpit with Fanatec gear and not a desk and wheelie chair and a logitech g29. If I could get my hands on one of these high quality sim rigs it would be awesome. Thank you Will for always giving me interesting videos to watch and given me a new hobby and place to spend my money on something as cool as sim racing.
This rig is perfect for me! Have limited room and travel quite a bit. This can be folded up and moved with ease. Also taken with me so I can get some laps in anywhere!
i have a buddy who doesnt have the room for a normal rig & this would work perfect in his room & space is the only thing keeping him from getting into it
I'm an aspiring sim racer of multiple games. I use a cheap computer desk from Walmart and a lawn chair and let me say that carpet is not my best friend. When I use my pedals hard it slides the desk forward when you dont have anything to Stop it, and my tv is on a wall. This rig would be perfect for stability and hopefully for streaming and video uploading as well. And not to mention to be consistent and competitive
Avid car enthusiast, F-1 2018 and 2019 player and fellow guitar player here, im about as good as I can get with a gamepad and im ready to have a more immersive experience. Ive been looking at sim rigs for a while but with the extras like the wheel base, steering wheel and pedals its kind of expensive and this would really help as a first step. Love your guitars man would be awesome to see some shredding sometime. 👍🏾
The storage capabilities is great especially for a college students living in halls like me... And I do spend quite a bit of time on sim, whether for racing or learning how to set a car up which helps in quite a big way for an automotive/mechanical engineering student like me. This means I would really like to have a rig. This should do the job really well.
I love my sim racing & have been into all form of racing since I was 6 weeks old, the one draw back is the size of my rig which the wife hates when you have people over because she can't hide it.
I am currently using a MDF/Ikea chair setup from OSR but it is big bulky and can't be hidden. The F-GT lite would be perfect for putting away quickly when having people over.
And you know what they say" Happy spouse happy house"
Cheers Will great channel you have going.
I’d love one of these because I’ve got a lot of stressful things going on in life at the moment and this could really help me just be more immersed in my driving and so I can put my worries behind me and focus on driving!
This is would be awesome for me because my desk set up is in the living room. Would be nice to put away my sim gear when I have guests over. Keep up the good content!
The f-gt lite would be perfect for me as at the moment using an office chair and a computer desk. Getting severe back and shoulder pain as im 6 foot tall and cant find the perfect position. Looking at doing the enduro races this year in iracing. Great review covered everything
Did you ever figure out how stable this was with Fanatec 2.5 base and v3 pedals. Looks attractive for price point and flexibility. Don't know if I justify moving to a full rig both in terms of space and money however I want the F1 style seating position :)
I’ve been sim racing for 3 years.. my son is 6 and loves anything cars/ racing.. my own home made rig is far too big for him.. The F-GT lite looks absolutely perfect and would be great to have him racing alongside me!
I’d love to own one of the these as my younger brother wants one for his sim setup and we do not have much room in our home and owning one would be a amazing
Good to finally see a worthy oponent for the Playseat Challenge !
It's a lot better. It actually comes with a shifter mount and has adjustable positions!
I want the F-Gt like because I've been racing for 2 years with a wheel clamped to my desk. I'm moving into a smaller apartment soon and my desk won't fit in so I won't be able to race but something that folds like this would be amazing.
Any further update re use with load cell pedals? Is this definitely one to avoid if you have them? If so, what would you recommend as a reasonably portable alternative?
I'm a big boy. This is what I need. :) Great honest review as always. Keep it coming.
The FGt lite would be perfect for me as I I'm just getting started in Sim racing. I had to drop karting because of money issues but Ive seen eSports drivers continue their careers so it's my goal to hopefully start a career. Nice vid btw. Always great to watch Boosted after a long day
I reckon I’ve pushed my luck as far as possible with the wife by keeping my race dirt bike in the lounge room. With the F-GT Lite being foldable and as compact as it is, I may still have a chance to leave the Xbox hand controller behind and live out the true sim racer dream! 🙏
It would be great to be able to convert seating positions as well as be able to fold it up for storage. Looks more solid then the Playseat Challenge I am currently using.
There’s a rig that I can’t find videos of anywhere. It’s on amazon and it’s the Vevor G920. It’s a fixed GT style seating position but it’s got all square metal tubing and I believe it comes with a triple monitor mount. I’m glad you did this review because I was looking at this one and I use the CSL pedals and a club sport 2.5 base
Hey man, long time fan of the vids, please keep it up! Did you try this out with the CSL elite set in the end? Thinking about picking this up. Cheers!
At the moment I use my dad's old Logitech G25 on my desk and its pain to take of ad on for my study. I would really love to have a cockpit to keep my wheel and pedals on plus the added bonus of it being able to be stored with ease will help a lot as I am in a very small room. I am saving to upgrade my wheel which is taking ages as I'm only 16 don't have enough money yet so to get a rig would help me out a lot with saving my money. It would make my year to in this as it would be a purchase off my shoulders for the future. Keep up the Great work Will.
I'm sure but now you've found the release to swing the wheel away to get in. Aaaaand folded the leg in the rear down to prevent the topping in the formula 1 position.
Yep I made another video showing the swivel once I figured out I needed to file it out to make it work.
As for the rear support. It didn’t work for me as I couldn’t get it into an appropriate position.
Id love to own this cockpit as I had to sell all my previous sim racing gear a few months back for personal family reasons. really miss my sim racing. and this would be a massive help to get me heading back in the right direction. Great review.
Just bought one thanks to this video, its awesome
Tried with csl and csl pedals with load cell ... unfortunately if I break with much force everything goes up ... quality of the materials is not so good but overall it’s work ... for insert shifter plate i use force and lithium grass ...
Hey will. It looks like there is some kind of clamp for loosening the wheel on one side for easier entry/exit. It's shown at 2:26 in their instruction video. Can you confirm that that's what it's for?
Any update for the CSL Elite usage? I'm planning on picking this up got my CSL Elite as well.
Also, I think the cockpit was pivoting to the back when pressing the loadcell pedal is because the leg was flipped up in the back. I've noticed in other pictures the leg is in the downward position to prevent the cockpit from lifting up.
Finally a foldable rig which is not as flimsy as the playseat challenge, would love to have this
Hi. I heard you give some advice on purchasing pedals, or a wheel base. And you’re advice was to upgrade pedals 1st. I have a logitec G920. is there pedals tvat I can purchase that will replace the LG 920’s original pedals? I broke my brake pedal spring, and wasted the rubber bushing.
I’d love to have a F-GT lite rig because I bought a fanatec csl kit for all my money I’ve been saving for a couple months (yea in Poland It’s a huge amount cuz we don’t earn a lot), and im sitting there wondering if I could make a stable connection between the pedals and chair, now it’s tightened up with some twine and it’s moving quite a lot. So a rig like that would definitely help and also great that you can fold it so fast since I haven’t got much space in my room. Btw love your vids, keep it up!
I like your videos, very informative about products and racing basic tips. I mostly play GT Sport, and not very well, but I have fun.
I finally decided to get a wheel and pedals (Thrustmaster 150) then realized I needed to put them on something. Got a Next level racing lite stand, which is ok except the wheel is mounted on the pole in the middle so you have to straddle it with your legs to reach the pedals. Now I just need a chair without wheels. I got some things to place on my desk chair wheels to stop them but I will get a more appropriate chair without wheels sometime soon. Anyway you do a good job, keep it up.
This would be a perfect starting point for my friend and his boy who don’t have the space for a normal cockpit. It would be a donation to get them into the Sim Racing word
i have used the F-GT lite, in GT position, with CSL elite wheel and loadcell brake, and have been happy with it. I know it is not made for direct drive (as in DD1 or DD2), but what about the new CSL Elite DD 8 nm?
I'd love to get this for my dad. He's 72, and disabled. He used to be a truck driver, but now he just watches videos on RUclips of driving, as he misses it so much. He generally doesn't have much to do in the day, as he isn't really mobile at all. I think he would absolutely love this, as it would allow him to feel like he's still able to do something he used to love.
I would to love to own one of these cockpits is that I can use it when I go to friend's house and compete with them using this . They can also try it out as my friends are poor and doesn't have a rig. Although I know you have recommended me to buy the F-GT and I did, this would be the icing on the cake so that I can move this rig to play with friends. If I don't get chosen , it's fine . I will probably still buy one. Thanks Will for this review
Hey, great review! I’m looking for something that can fold up quickly and doesn’t take much space. Would you say that this rig is rigid enought for CSL DD with the boost kit (8nm)? I know you’ve said that it’s no for DD, but are there any more rigit alternetives that can fold up?
On the Nex-level website, it looks like that rear bar is supposed to be flush on the ground in the F1 position to prevent that wheelie. I'm curious how this compares to the playseat challenge. I'm just starting out and haven't tried either, but the playseat looks like it would be much easier to get in/out, but the NLR lite looks more comfortable, stiffer and adjustable.
I would love to have this seat, it looks really nice for fishing, it has everything i need...
Yes, it would also be good for sitting around the pool. pity it doesnt have a stubby holder but.
Great videos for people who really thinking of buying this. However, my question is does the Shifter plate only designed at the left hand side of the driver ??? Or we can attach it to both right hand & left hand as per our requirement ??
Would be a massive upgrade from my current Next Level Wheel Stand Lite I believe it is, and Bathurst Racer chair from Officeworks that I currently use. And this would be awesome to try out some other racing games I want to try like GT Sport and Assetto Corsa as well as F1 racing games
If you dropped that rear leg of the seat (behind you) down to lay flat on the ground, wouldn't that keep you from rocking backward when you press on the brake hard?
I've been looking for a folding cockpit for awhile and would absolutely love to be able to try this out if I were the lucky winner!
Hey! Was just wondering how this rig would handle a loadcell pedal set in the GT mode.
Hi WIll, did you end up trying with the CSL Elite pedals? Cheers for the review, I have one and its great from y small apartment!
Cheers
I'd love to win this because with 5 kids under 15 there is no way I can afford one. Nice review to mate love your work
how is this design superior to the Playseat challange? The Playseat seems to be easier to get in and out of and just as compact, and I don't believe there is an issue with standing when pushing the brake hard? Which of the two budget cockpits would you see as a better choice?
I cannot use vr in my gaming room, and i cannot use my wheel pedals and shifter in the livingroom where i vr.
The thought of finally racing in vr makes me very happy.
Heh Guys, I bought this set up for myself. Live in Singapore on a contract work arrangement. Can not get back to Aus during COVID and if selected would send this for my 3 teenage boys so they can improve their driver skills during social distancing - hopefully give their mum some respite. Great review that had me spend money!
Nice looking, thinking about getting one of these...
I love this cockpit :is cute,it is compact and I will use it in F1 2019
Been looking for a reasonbaly priced setup that is good for F1 racing and rallying and OMG this is just perfect for both! Got my dad hooked on sim racing too so it wouldn't hurt to upgrade to a proper sim racing setup instead of just using a table and a chair
Definitely a "gots-to-have-it"!!
I too would love to win this cockpit. It would make for a perfect camp chair up the river, just need to cut off that flimsy wheel mount and she'll be mint
I've been wanting to get into Sim racing for awhile now but due to really limited space (one room apartment 😔) I can't really make a set up besides a clamp to the table
Always wanted a rig for my son and help him learn about those racing lines...might have a go myself and take over too :)
Perfect looking solution for my limited space!
I love that wall dude. That's sick.
I would love to have this F-GT lite because I don't have room in my apartment for a big cockpit. This cockpit is ideal for a small rooms like mine.
Ther is a quick reles on the right side to swing open the wheel bass
Hi ! what is the minimum and maximum length on the floor in the "GT" position ?
Thanks
Yeah cracking up as u didnt know about the quick release lol. Good vid cheers
this would be perfect for my small bedroom where i have my pc in, on an unstable computer desk.
Due to spousal concessions, I had a tough choice between racing sim gear & a happy partner. I made the correct decision, but this setup would allow my sim racing to continue. Small apartments don’t have a lot of space
Thank you for the video, I do have a question. Does the chair come with mounting bolts for pedals, shifter and wheel ?
yes it does
Thanks for the review. I just ordered the Fanatec F1 CSL Elite. In you opinion would this rig be okay with that wheel set? I am considering adding the load cell pedal at some point
did it work out for you with the load cell pedals?
i've bought it with CSW 2.5 bundle, cause i don't have enough space in my flat, still waiting for the shipment and i'm hoping no big flax in the cockpit when i try it.
