The Best Racing Simulators From Trak Racer
Sim racing cockpits and rigs
Pick the frame that matches how you race.
Trak Racer builds in both tubular steel and extruded aluminium profile. That means the choice isn’t only what you spend, it’s how much torque the frame has to hold, how fast you want it built, and how often you switch driving position.
Find yourself in one of these.
These four rigs are separated by frame type, torque rating and how quickly they adjust, not by a price ladder. Pick the line that sounds like you.
“I want it built and racing the same afternoon.”
TR8 Pro V2
2″ tubular steel, about an hour to assemble, with the shifter mount and seat slider rails already included.

TR120S V2
120 x 40mm extruded aluminium profile, the TR One wheel mounting system, and direct-fit motion with no motion base needed.
View →“I’m running 30Nm and want the most rigid frame you make.”
TR160 V5
160 x 40mm double-walled extrusion with heavier brackets. The most rigid rig Trak Racer builds, and direct-fit for motion.
View →“I switch between Formula and GT constantly.”
Alpine Racing TRX V2
Co-developed with Alpine Formula One™ Team engineers. Three to five minutes between Formula and GT, where the profile rigs take thirty.
View →Looking at something smaller or more affordable? The TR40S, TR80S and wheel stands start from $199.
Four rigs worth comparing.
All four take the same seats, monitor stands, mounts and accessories, so nothing you add now is wasted when you change frames.

Tubular or profile. Your call, not ours.
Most brands build one or the other. Trak Racer builds both. Tubular steel gives you an open footwell, a faster build and a lower price for the same torque rating. Extruded aluminium profile gives you more mounting positions, finer adjustment and direct-fit motion. Neither is the better frame. They suit different drivers.

Which rig suits my wheelbase?
Torque is what decides it. Up to 25Nm the TR8 Pro V2 handles it without flex. At 30Nm and beyond, the TR120S V2, TR160 V5 and Alpine Racing TRX V2 are the rigs to look at. All four are pre-drilled for Fanatec, Moza, Simagic, Simucube, Asetek, Logitech and Thrustmaster.
Tubular or aluminium profile?
Tubular gives you a much faster build, and a lower price for the same torque rating. Profile gives you more mounting positions, finer adjustment, and direct-fit motion. Neither is better; they suit different drivers.
How long does assembly take?
The TR8 Pro V2 is about an hour and the Alpine TRX V2 about two. The profile rigs, the TR120S V2 and TR160 V5, are published at seven hours or more, because there is far more adjustment to set up.
Can I add motion later?
The TR120S V2 and TR160 V5 are direct-fit, so D-BOX actuators mount to the frame with no separate motion base. The TR8 Pro V2 and Alpine TRX V2 are motion ready but need a motion base.
