GR500 Racing Simulator Cockpit

The Thermaltake GR500 Racing Simulator Cockpit was designed for demanding sim racers who value stability, realism, and the highest compatibility. Whether for training, competition, or an immersive driving experience at home – the GR500 provides the perfect foundation for your virtual racing feeling.

Robust construction for maximum stability

The heart of the GR500 is a reinforced steel frame that guarantees absolute torsional stiffness even under intense strain. The design is made to reliably absorb movements during aggressive steering, braking, and shifting – crucial for precise feedback with direct-drive systems or load cell pedals. The powder-coated surface additionally protects against scratches and wear – even with regular use over many years.

Individual seating position like in a real cockpit

The GR500 allows a fully adjustable seating position. The sports seat with racing shell look can be adjusted in angle, height, and distance to the pedal unit, so you can always achieve the optimal posture regardless of body size or driving style. The pedal plate and steering wheel mount are also adjustable in multiple ways, offering the necessary flexibility to replicate the ergonomics of a real cockpit – ideal for endurance races or demanding simulations.

Comprehensive compatibility with sim racing hardware

Thanks to its well-thought-out mounting structure, the GR500 is compatible with all common steering wheels, pedals, and gear levers from leading brands such as Logitech, Thrustmaster, and Fanatec. Whether belt-drive, direct-drive, or hydraulic pedals – the chassis offers enough attachment points and stability to securely hold any setup. This makes getting started easy and also allows professional upgrades without detours.

Neat setup through integrated cable management

So that your rig remains not only stable but also visually tidy, the GR500 features an integrated cable management system. Power and data cables can be discreetly routed along the frame, avoiding tripping hazards and greatly enhancing the aesthetics of your setup. Especially with complex configurations involving multiple peripherals, this ensures order and focus on what matters: driving.

Secure footing on any surface

The cockpit stands on non-slip rubber feet that provide firm grip on carpet, parquet, or tiles. Even with powerful braking using load cell pedals or quick steering movements, the rig remains reliably in place – without additional weight or floor screws. The small footprint also makes the GR500 interesting for smaller rooms or flexible living solutions.
