GR500 Racing Simulator Cockpit

The Thermaltake GR500 Racing Simulator Cockpit was developed for demanding sim racers who value stability, realism, and maximum compatibility. Whether for training, competition, or an immersive driving experience at home – the GR500 provides the perfect foundation for your virtual racing experience.

Robust construction for maximum stability

At the heart of the GR500 is a reinforced steel frame that guarantees absolute torsional rigidity, even under intense stress. The design is engineered to reliably absorb movement during aggressive steering, braking, and shifting – crucial for precise feedback with direct-drive systems or load-cell pedals. The powder-coated finish provides additional protection against scratches and wear, even with years of regular use.

Individual seating position like in a real cockpit

The GR500 allows for a fully customizable seating position. The racing-style bucket seat can be adjusted in angle, height, and distance to the pedal unit , ensuring you always achieve the optimal posture regardless of your height or driving style. The pedal plate and steering wheel mount are also adjustable in multiple positions, providing the necessary flexibility to replicate the ergonomics of a real cockpit – ideal for endurance races or demanding simulations.

Full compatibility with sim racing hardware

Thanks to its well-designed mounting system, the GR500 is compatible with all common steering wheels, pedals, and shifters from leading brands such as Logitech, Thrustmaster, and Fanatec . Whether belt-drive, direct-drive, or hydraulic pedals – the chassis offers ample mounting points and stability to securely accommodate any configuration. This makes getting started easy while also allowing for professional upgrades without any detours.

Clean setup thanks to integrated cable management

To ensure your rig remains not only stable but also visually clean, the GR500 features an integrated cable management system . Power and data cables can be discreetly routed along the frame, eliminating tripping hazards and significantly enhancing the aesthetics of your setup. This is especially beneficial for complex configurations with multiple peripherals, keeping things tidy and allowing you to focus on what matters most: riding.

Secure footing on any surface

The cockpit rests on non-slip rubber feet , providing a firm grip on carpet, parquet, or tile. Even during powerful braking with load cell pedals or rapid steering maneuvers, the rig remains reliably in place – without any additional weight or floor screws. Its small footprint also makes the GR500 ideal for smaller rooms or flexible living spaces.
