GTELITE COCKPIT

Conventional corner brackets are things of the past. The GTElite Ford GT Edition Cockpit utilizes an 8mm thick Carbon Steel Reinforced Upright Direct Mounting plates, allowing the GTElite Ford GT Edition Cockpit to have a stronger reinforcement and connection between the vertical uprights and the base of the chassis. To eliminate any movement and increase the clamping force between the components, custom-engineered full channel width spring ball T-slot nuts are used throughout the build + through bolts for areas that require higher clamp force and rigidity. The 8mm Carbon Steel Sandwich Plate also provides a connection between the vertical uprights and the pedal plate to lock in and increase the reinforcement between the structural parts of the cockpit. The strength continues with precision machined holes to bolt the base of the profile directly for a more rigid foundation.

The GTElite Ford GT Edition cockpits enable the Ford community to interact with a brand they love and engage with the growing community of sim racing. The cockpit is finished in blue anodization to represent the iconic colors of Ford. Providing a brand experience unlike before, the GTElite Ford GT Edition cockpit includes a laser-etched Ford and GT logo. The iconic GT Stripes are laser etched at the base of the cockpit for a premium finish. Users can complete their brand experience by adding the Next Level Racing® ES1 Ford GT Seat*. The ES1 Ford GT Edition Seat combines the GT experience with an embossed GT logo on the headrest to finish the look of the cockpit.
