To mount a seat on any SimXPro® chassis, you will need either the SimXPro® Universal Seat Mount or the SimXPro® Extended Universal Seat Mount (provides a wider tilt adjustment range). These brackets are not included with the cockpit and must be purchased separately.

SimXPro® Universal Seat Mounts are compatible with:

• SimXPro® GT Seat, 
• SimXPro® GTR Seat,
• SimXPro® GT XL Seat,
• All sim-racing and motorsport seats with side-mount attachment points

For seats with bottom-mount attachment:

• they can be installed using 4× corner brackets to mount the seat flat onto the chassis profile
• these extra brackets are not included with the rigs
• exception: SimXPro GT-RS®, which includes an extended hardware kit supporting bottom-mount seat installation"

The FR DD base frame is constructed from a combination of 4040, 4080, and 40120 aluminum extrusion profiles, ensuring a strong and stable platform capable of handling high-end Direct Drive setups. This reinforced version is designed specifically for more demanding racers who want the authentic Formula driving position without sacrificing adjustability or stability.

Powder-coated in Satin Black, the FR DD blends strength, clean aesthetics, and long-term durability. Like all SimXPro® rigs, it is part of our fully modular ecosystem - meaning every SimXPro® accessory, mount, and upgrade fits perfectly with the FR chassis.

Whether you’re running loadcell pedals, hydraulic braking systems, or a high-torque wheelbase, the FR DD base frame delivers the rigidity required for serious Formula racing.

With the FR DD, you can select your preferred wheel mount from several high-grade mounting options. The standard Universal Front Wheelmount included in the default package is made from 8 mm hardened steel and supports the most powerful Direct Drive bases on the market.

Compatible Wheelbases (Universal Front Mount):

• OSW MiGe 130 series
• SimSteering AKM5x
• Lenze MCS12H
• SimuCube 2 (Sport / Pro / Ultimate)
• AccuForce Pro
• VRS

The SimXPro® Profile Pedal Deck comes standard with the FR DD, delivering the rigidity required for high-performance braking systems.

• Built for loadcell and hydraulic pedal sets
• Black powder-coated aluminum + hardened steel brackets
• Flex-free performance even under heavy braking
• Compatible with most major pedal brands
  

Important:
Thrustmaster pedals cannot be mounted directly to the profile pedal deck because they require bottom-mount installation.

Formula-style driving rarely requires a traditional side shifter, but the FR DD supports multiple mounting points for handbrakes, paddles, or additional accessories.

Optional shifter mounting upgrades include:

• Simple shifter profile mount
• Extended shifter profile mount (for added reach and compatibility)

Placement is flexible thanks to the profile-based slot system, allowing you to customize your Formula-inspired cockpit setup.

Finding the perfect Formula position can be challenging, so here are essential guidelines to achieve the most comfortable and realistic driving posture:

• Legs should be almost fully extended at maximum braking (slightly bent, never locked).
• Knees should sit behind the wheelbase.
• Wheelbase around shoulder height, with the shaft pointing toward your neck or chin.
• Toes should be just barely visible behind the wheelbase.
• Seat positioning is the most crucial factor — your weight should be evenly distributed from your legs to your upper back.
• Adjust in this order: Seat → Wheel → Pedals → Monitors for optimal ergonomics.
  

For reference, the product photos may include the SimXPro XF paired with a Sparco GP seat - this is not the FR DD but demonstrates the seating style.

Whether you're training, racing competitively, or building your first Formula sim cockpit, the SimXPro® FR DD provides the strength, precision, and ergonomics needed for true open-wheel driving.
