We love aluminium profile rigs for one big reason: they work. They’re rigid, adjustable, and easy to evolve.
But we also heard the same request over and over:
“Can I get the rigidity of profile… without looking like a construction set?”
That’s exactly why GT‑PRO exists.
GT‑PRO at a glance
- Closed-profile design for a clean look (and a “built” feel)
- Designed for high-torque direct drive and heavy brake loads
- Universal mounting philosophy so you can change hardware without rebuilding the rig
- GT seating position that’s easy to dial in for long stints
Why closed-profile matters (beyond looks)
A clean exterior isn’t just aesthetic. When you build a cockpit that feels like a finished product, people treat it like one: better cable routing, fewer “temporary” mounts, and fewer compromises that slowly creep in over time.
And yes — it also looks great in a living room, office, or studio setup.
Built for real loads: steering, braking, and vibration
Modern sim racing isn’t gentle. High-torque direct drive wheelbases and stiff load-cell/hydraulic pedals amplify every weak link in the chain.
Our approach with GT‑PRO is straightforward: stability first. Because when the cockpit doesn’t move, you can focus on technique — braking pressure, smooth inputs, repeatable lines.
How to spec a GT‑PRO setup
We recommend building your setup in this order:
- Chassis first: GT‑PRO
- Seat next: choose a GT-style bucket (or a formula-style seat if you’re experimenting with positioning)
- Monitors last: decide between integrated mounting or a freestanding stand based on your space
