Next Level Racing® proudly announces the launch of the Next Level Racing® GTLite Air Foldable Cockpit, the brand’s best-value racing cockpit and the next evolution of entry-level sim racing.
Designed for first-time racers, casual enthusiasts, and users with limited space, the GTLite Air combines an ultra-compact folding design with an authentic GT racing position, broad electronics compatibility, and the confidence of purchasing from a trusted sim racing brand with a proven track record.
The GTLite Air can transition from storage to racing in under 10 seconds and fold away again in under 10 seconds with compatible electronics attached. Its lightweight construction and compact footprint make it ideal for apartments, bedrooms, shared living spaces, and gamin areas where floor space is limited.
At the centre of the GTLite Air is a breathable and adjustable SIMAERO Mesh seat, designed around GT-inspired ergonomics to provide support, ventilation, and comfort. Adjustable backrest height and seat-fabric tension allow users to personalise their driving position, while the wheel deck provides up to 30 degrees of angle adjustment and 60mm of forward-and-back adjustment.
The GTLite Air delivers greater functionality straight out of the box, featuring a 4mm wheel plate, full-coverage steel pedal plate, included wheel clamp spacers, and dedicated shifter support that can be mounted on either the left or right side. It supports major belt-driven, entry Direct Drive, and clamp-mounted wheelbases.
“The GTLite Air was designed to make a complete racing cockpit experience more accessible,” said Hess Ghah, CEO of Next Level Racing®. “We wanted to give racers the comfort, adjustability, compatibility, and included features they need, while also giving them the confidence of purchasing from a trusted sim racing brand with a proven track record.”
For greater immersion, the GTLite Air is compatible with the Next Level Racing® HF8 and HF8 PRO Haptic Feedback Gaming Pads, which can be installed beneath the seating surface for clean integration and direct racing feedback.
The Next Level Racing® GTLite Air Foldable Cockpit [NLR-S047] will be available globally through leading retailers starting from September to October 2026.
