Next Level Racing F-GT Cockpit and Monitor Stand Unboxing and Assembly

5% OFF NEXT LEVEL RACING PRODUCTS HERE:

IT'S ARRIVED! Today is the day we unbox and assemble the newly released F-GT Cockpit and Monitor Stand from Aussie Manufacturer "Next Level Racing".

The F-GT is the follow up to the popular F1-GT, and offers many improvements in quality and adjustability. What makes this cockpit really special and unique is the ability to switch between GT (upright) and Formula style (reclined) seating positions with relative ease for a more realistic sim experience.

I'd like to thank Next Level Racing for kindly providing this equipment free of charge for the purpose of review for our simulator project! They were more than happy to assist when I reached out to them and have been fantastic to deal with.

While the equipment was provided free of charge, they are not paying me for this video and have not placed any conditions on what I can and cannot say, so I have done my best to be as unbiased and honest as I can in the video.

(A small portion of the sale price goes to helping this channel)

Thank you, the instructions for the support post were so unclear, I ended up putting it at the back completely like you

Hey Will!! I wanted to THANK-YOU for this excellent video and honest review! I did lots of homework first, of course, but your video was the clincher - it was all I needed to 'pull the trigger' on buying this. I got the cockpit, followed your advice and could NOT be happier! See you on the podium :D

THIS HELPED ME SO MUCH! THANK YOU! When the instructions asked for 16mm bolts for the seat assembly I was like, "where are they" and then I see you unscrew them from the chair itself 👍

Ah Will, you made it look easy mate ! I've just got mine a few days ago including monitor stand, what a faff putting it together ! I tried the destructions, then a Next Level video and some of this one with you assembling it. I've got no chance with the Formula One position, I'm 6 foot and 18 stone so a bit on the chunky side to say the least, I got into the position ok, it was the getting back out that was a struggle !! I rejigged the cockpit into the GT position and with a few wheel deck and steering wheel deck adjustments I've managed to get it to a usable position. Only taken me 4 hours of puffing, panting, air con on, a beer or six to get there lol !! I was hoping to be racing by this evening but right now I'm gonna finish the setup tomorrow as I've still got to fit the monitor stand, the curved tv and get it all set up for my body size and reach etc. Anyway, thanks for this video and all of your content that I've watched, a great help. G'day mate, cheers, Daz, UK

Great un-boxing Video, sold me on the quality and build of the f-gt cockpit

I bought this seat not long ago and am very impressed with it. My only gripe is you can’t get the monitor close to the wheel deck because of the way the brackets fit on the main frame.

I was only using a single 32” curved monitor so after some thinking I managed to mod the monitor frame using only the spare parts from the two spare arms n vesa brackets from the triple parts. The only thing I had to do extra was to drill two vesa bracket holes out to the same size as the bolts that secure the monitor to the frame and added a small strip of metal to support the brackets. Total cost was zero and works a treat. My monitor is spot on now.

Thanks for the video Will, and by the way I love all your content. I just bought the Next Level Racing F-GT yesterday so can't wait until it arrives, and I'm going with triples.

Thanks for the vid mate, I ended up buying this in the end instead of the Playseat Challenge or F-Gt Lite, who cares if I have a lack of space I pretty much only wanna sim race now anyways! Lol. I did find a tight space to move this too in the end instead of getting fold out

[markuaw]

looks like it's going to turn out good looks like a pro setup now

I have the NLR Wheel Stand V1, and I finally decided to pull the trigger on this cockpit. Can't wait to have a go in it.

I’m looking to buy this cockpit but was wondering if it can easily switch positions from f to get or vice versa?

[lawyerever]

This is a great video and it is the primary reason I elected to buy a Next Level FGT cockpit to go along with my Fanatec CSL Elite wheel and pedals for my GT Sport set up. I watched the video a couple of times and so by the time the cockpit arrived, I was in a great position to assemble the cockpit without too many problems. The instructions were not great, but this video more than made up for the shortcomings. The adjustability overall is quite good, particularly for the pedal and wheel plates. The seat is very high quality and more comfortable than I expected. I am using the cockpit in GT mode, but I like how the pedals are further out from me compared to my Obutto, its much closer to a sport car feel as opposed to an SUV or minivan. The cockpit is rock solid and having the holes pre-drilled in the wheel, pedal and shifter plates is sheer bliss.

Nearly finished mine .I couldn't work out how the back of the seat fits onto the base so got a mate coming round tonight to help me finish it off ..Btw the blister pack was great with all the nuts bolts and washers but when there were no square washers I just used round ones, , , , then found a whole separate pack of square ones in the box so had to build o lot of it twice lol

[HIBaysal]

this exact set is being delivered tomorrow, can't wait!!!

[christianwalters]

Thanks so much for this! Very great video and instructions. Appreciate you 💪🏻

[TMProject]

Will a handbrake and shifter both fit on the chair at the same time?

[Jugglenaught]

Nice music in this video! Cheers mate.

[jeremyw]

Nobody else had issues with the instructions asking for 16MM screws that arent in the set??? Stuck on page 1 cos apparently making instructions that correspond to the actual parts is a hard thing to

[ThinJuzzy]

Thanks for the detailed setup video and tips. Great work. Only thing I would have liked to have seen was the monitors mounted and more angles to see where the different monitor positions can be set in relation to the seating position. Thanks.
