Fanatec, a renowned name in the sim racing world, has just unveiled its latest high-end sim rig, the ClubSport GT Cockpit. Following its debut under Corsair branding at various events, this highly anticipated cockpit is now available for pre-order, marking its official entry into the Fanatec lineup after the company’s acquisition by Corsair. With a starting price of €914.95, the ClubSport GT Cockpit aims to set a new benchmark for immersive and customizable racing simulation.
Built for Performance and Elegance
The Fanatec ClubSport GT Cockpit’s foundation lies in its robust steel frame design, offering exceptional stability during intense racing sessions. Available in two sleek finishes—matte black and white—it seamlessly combines aesthetics with functionality.
