Sim Racing Cockpit Designed by F1 Engineers! Alpine TRX Review

Designed with the help of Formula 1 engineers at Alpine Racing, the Trak Racer TRX has got to be one of the most exciting sim racing products in a while. They’ve sent it over to me for review so in this video, I’ll be telling you all what I do and do not like and why the Trak Racer TRX is so unique.

Your Fanatec wheel with the Alpine sticker as well as those pedals matches this cockpit so well 😂👍

[bigdoge]

Bro made a thirst trap on this cockpit for the intro and thought we wouldn't notice. 💀

[ThieoKok]

I have the rig a tip for the shifter is to mount it all the way to the front than it’s really 100%flex free I promise!!

[TheCarDoc]

Ooft, I look forward to trying this out myself very shortly! Good to see a decent review up finally!!

[TJBPlayz]

Great video as always oc racing this cockpit looks insane

[oliverwilson]

Dad “come help the cat is on fire!”
Me “but OC Racing just released a new video…”

[PotatoStudios.]

Your alpine steering wheel matches it perfectly

[shaunmcnamara]

I bought this rig. Do not buy this if you are a serious driver and practice daily. It is not rigid, it squeaks. I wanted an upgrade from the entry level playseat thought the look was great and might be more rigid. I was wrong! I immediately ordered the playseat Intelligence. It’s more expensive but you can’t go wrong with playseat.

Nice! I’ve been wanting a review of this Cockpit for a while!

4:50 The monitors look like they were set up pretty high? Especially when they were set up in a f1 position with the seat inclined (thus further lowering your eye level)

Yoooo, that intro cinematic was really sick

I just picked up a Black TRX used on FB Marketplace for $900. It came with the seat, single monitor mount and shifter mount! I paired it with a Moza R9 base RS V2 Wheel and SR-P Pedals($600 again on FB M). Wow I'm in love with a Sim Rig! I have just $1500 invested in it so far. Still plan on getting Moza shifter, Handbrake and Trak Racer Keyboard/Mouse mount. In all I will have an amazing Mid-Range setup for under $2k not including monitor or PC. Right now I'm rocking a 32" curved VA 165HZ panel. Not sure if I want a 34" or 49" Ultrawide as the 32 I have already fills my vision with the monitor mount as close to the base as I can get. Any suggestions cons/pros to going with the 49 over the 34 and mounting the 49 further away? Also any discount codes for Moza Racing products? I will be purchasing the shifter/handbrake from Moza directly using your Aff. link!

While I love my trx the flex in the pedal deck is inexcusable. This rig was tested over and over again. The side plates holding the pedal deck are too thin and they are what flex. If they had added 2mm in thickness this problem would vanish.

I even went so far as to email trakracer and ask them if they intend on making thicker ones or if I could get one made from them. They politely told me no.

Yes the pedal flex is very noticeable when you have at their highest point or are running in the F1 position. It's unacceptable for the cost of this rig. There's little to no flex when placed in the lowest position.

The steering flex is noticeable when at a stand still but disappears once you start driving.

[AdamOutlaw]

The pedal deck seems made out of pie pan but it looks like i could easily fabricate some metal onto it and stop it from flexing at all. I just sat in a simlab p1 x at microcenter and i dont understand all the lies out there about them not having flex cause they have it in the pedal deck and the wheel deck mount because i can make both of them flex so i dont get it. It had asetek invicta pedals i need to go back and show it in a video im tired of hearing that aluminum profile rigs are the best when they flex also and they look like a treadmill

[AaronJay]

Perfect 👍🏾 especially the flex issue as a decent pedal set with additional plate may minimise that

[toaster]

Love my TRX!!! Awesome video as usual!!

[mrf]

Do you think the flex in the pedal tray would be improved with pedals that have a baseplate? I'm thinking that MAY add additional rigidity. Just running Logitech Pro setup for now but don't want to regret any purchase if I upgrade in the future.

[edcadlick]

Thanks Oscar very nice and have a great long weekend😘👍

[mory]

Yes, the flexing plate under the pedals is really unique :D :D

[LRSNRCNG]

Bro your nuts for standing on it like that but that definitely shows the strength in a way that i dont think other companies could handle 😂
