Next Level Racing F-GT - Strengthening kit does the trick

This is the sim rig which has been lurking in the corner of my "office" for the last several months, and i've seen plenty of questions about the flex issues surrounding the F-GT since its release.

So behold, as a middle-aged man balances on a pedal plate, and squeezes his corpulent self into what feels like contortions but just looks like a gentle yoga pose.

For those wondering, this now comes INCLUDED with the FGT Cockpit.

I reckon you could fit the other side wheel bar in front of the shifter mount. It doesn't need to be so far back to give the wheel deck some extra support, particularly as it attaches to the rearward bolt on the deck.

Where can you purchase the stiffening kit? Mine didn't come with 1

[powrvr]

I’m looking to buying the cockpit but was wondering if you recommend it and if it is easy to switch the different positions

[KobraVR]

I have a G29 in the loft I should use it more in VR, that strengthener would definitely make it a better experience. I have some folding system that happily folds up on you during use 🤣

Great video. Did you ever report back or do an updated video with the new wheel? I couldn’t find anything. Wondering how this rig would work with a 8 to 11 Nm DD wheel. Thx!

[TypeZero]

Wait, does it only have the shifter on the left?! I’ve only seen them on the left in ever pic/video. Can it be mounted on the right side?!

I'm 6'2" (6 foot 2 inches) and I onnly weigh 153 pounds.
I bet that thing would be ROCK solid for me.
I work at microcenter, so with my employee discount I can pick this up for 350.

Next level knows how to reeucr flex on every item they update. Like even the dang gt lite pro foldable one with the new straps and stuff is more sturdy then many $400 to $500 cockpits with flex now its mind blowing how good it is now. So i cant imagine this f-gt with this kit.

Tbhthe plate for the wheel was strong enough already. Can use 15 to 20nm bases with no issues. I like how open the cockpit is so I wouldnt want to use the metal legs for the plate.

Respect for the g25 ……

Reached Jedi tier !!

Does it hold up with your simagic alpha installed?

[PeteTheElite]

So you can’t use the monitor stand if you add the brake stiffener?

Hi guys, are there certain places that only include the strengthening kit or is it just a few. If so, (in the uk) where?

[yourboysgottem]

Have you noticed any flexing with your simagic alpha?

[StarFox]

can u drive 2 to 5 hours without butt hurting?

[cristiancentuori]

great video, where can i find the reinforcement iron? thank you

[Bombichote]

Best video about this. Didn’t know about the lateral flex. Even with both wheel strenghtening kit, still wobble like that?.

[HoldenGrey_Racing]

I’ve got one question. I have this rig but I have issues with my arms being too cramped up and bent. How did you get the wheel far enough away?? I have mine on the farthest it can go on the slider and it’s still too close. I’d like to raise it up higher as well but that also makes it even closer.

Great video. I think you're hilarious and content was helpful! Ty my gentle sir.

[DKTrickster]

What about the wheelbase? I saw flex in there in a video. That can't be helped?

Edit: NVM, I just saw the extra bar you showed. Does the strengthening kit include one for pedals AND wheelbase?
