Is This The Best Looking Sim Rig? - Trak Racer TR8 Pro Review

Watch our Trak Racer TR8 Pro Review. This review looks at the design, compatibility, build quality and performance of the updated Trak Racer TR8 Pro sim rig.

This sim rig is an updated version of the older TR8 sim rig and features a lot of new and upgraded parts.

I think this could possibly be one of the best-looking sim rigs available. It is a completely different style of sim rig compared to 8020 aluminium profile sim rigs but offers great performance.

Here are my thoughts in this in-depth review.

I got the exact same rig around 3 months ago. It's solid and I'm happy with my buy. Highly recommend. It cost me $1500 Australian so yeah pricey

You surely can do a formula seating position, if you'd install the seat brackets correctly... 😅 The high part should obviously be in the front so you can tilt your seat back. Doesn't make sense to have the big part pointing backwards. Like this you could tilt your seat to the front...

i also just got mine TR120 and love it, before i was using my normal desk but i have been beating my own records now, and it is very comfy :D

What seat you recommend for playing f1 -24? Also what are you thought on the F1 playseat?

[alfonsogalindo]

Thanks for this awesome review. I’m building this exact set up with the Moza R9 and FSR wheel. Using a Samsung G9 monitor so I’m hoping with the thickness and curvature it sits closer and over the wheelbase

[johntisbury]

Good review, thanks. Just purchased the TR8 Pro.

I'm really torn between this and their TR80 Lite profile cockpit. I have no plans to use a shifter, so the lack of adjustability there doesn't matter to me. The smaller footprint of the TR8 is a plus, because the rig lives in a flexible living space, and needs to be able to be easily moved to the corner so it's out of the way and doesn't take up too much space when not in use. I won't be going crazy with add-ons either. Just a keyboard and tablet mount, and a buttkicker. The TV will be on a stand-alone mount in the corner of the room for regular use, so any concerns with monitor flex, vibration, positioning, etc, is not an issue either. Wheel setup will just be a Logitech G Pro setup for the foreseeable future. Kind of leaning towards the TR8 just for easy assembly, smaller footprint, appearance is more favorable to my wife, etc. Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Nice review… I’ve been eyeing the tr8 pro for a while now and i think I’m ready to buy. Likely will get the reclining chair. Using csl dd pro. One of the cleanest reviews I’ve seen.

Looks fantastic and exactly what im after - what was the game you was playing around 7:55 is that F1?

[maxmoser]

Do you think mounting the monitor mount backwards added to the monitor shake? It looks like only half of the base of the monitor mount is over the plate, and the rest is hanging over the edge unsupported. If it were the correct way, it would all be supported.

Any of you guys especially the guy on the video know how to mount the pedals he has. I have the same pedals and pedals but cat figure out how to mount. Great video btw.

How does this frame work with shorter people? I'm 5'6" (168cm) and want to make sure the wheel won't be mounted too high. I love the look of this frame when compared to the extrusion frames, but I worry about the wheel height since the baseplate cannot be adjusted.

[cbwalker]

What size monitor are you using in this video? Thanks in advance

[Jonah-Hosein]

Should check out sim hound, they have the cheapest 80/20 rigs out there, atleast ones that i've seen compared to all the rest.

[dargodarling]

Hey is it normal to have very loud vibrations when i drive over curbs?

[TheeGrBrandin]

Is there a side mount option for dd1? Or is it just the mount stand your Moza base is on?

[JohnSmith-uept]

Hi, question - is there a wheel height adjustment on this rig? seems like I can see only a tilt adjustment and forward/backward

[alexkotan]

Hello!
Do you remember how tall the smallest person you recommend is? Is it suitable for my 140cm child? The Trak racer wrote that it is suitable from120cm, but I'm afraid only because of the sale.

[benjamintoups]

I saw on the trx you can install the steering mount upside down so the wheel is much lower for an f1 style. Curious if this is possible on the tr8 pro. Let me know

[geraldnikkimanaois]

Does the keyboard tray will go under the steering wheel? Looking some tray that can stay infront of you.
