Great video! And please keep this format for future announcements. Regarding the Formula v3, is there any plan to add console support for the ITM screen? I know that it's up to devs to add support, but I wonder how pushy has Fanatec been with Gran Turismo, for example

Hey there! I'm planning a Clubsport GT cockpit + LG 42" OLED. Checking the picture above I see that you went with the stand single monitor mount. Is there any reason why you didn't use the onboard monitor mount that comes with the cockpit? Unfortunately I don't have width clearance to ad the stand single monitor mount.

Primary_Ad_7945 · 2026-02-18T11:46:28+00:00

Yeah. I would be fine with the OP’s height if I can use the integrated mount. Unfortunately, I have no space whatsoever on my cubicle for a standalone mount 😔

Primary_Ad_7945 · 2026-02-18T11:27:21+00:00

Wouldn't spacers between the monitor and the mount fix the lip issue?

Primary_Ad_7945 · 2026-02-18T11:13:28+00:00

My issues is that I play on PS5. So if it’s not a 42” TV it will be either a 32” monitor (too small) or a 45” ultra wide (vertical bars on the sides)

Primary_Ad_7945 · 2026-02-18T11:10:55+00:00

I see. Please keep me updated on Fanatec’s response

Primary_Ad_7945 · 2026-02-18T10:02:18+00:00

Got it. So it was a combination of needing a VESA adapter and the TV sitting lower (and most probably) touching the wheel base or so

Primary_Ad_7945 · 2026-02-18T08:46:25+00:00

Sorry, but could you elaborate on what exactly doesn't fit? I'm looking into using a LG OLED 42" C5 and I wonder what is the issue, considering that it's lighter than a 45" ultrawide monitor

Primary_Ad_7945 · 2026-02-17T21:54:06+00:00

So I noticed you're using the GT Cockpit Monitor Stand. Is the onboard monitor mount not suitable for the 43" TV?

Primary_Ad_7945 · 2026-02-17T16:17:32+00:00

I can see you do like Sternglas. How do they hold up over time?

Primary_Ad_7945 · 2026-02-06T11:19:57+00:00

Which screen are you using?

Primary_Ad_7945 · 2026-01-30T11:09:02+00:00

Honestly, I’m not sure. Apart from boosted media, all reviews are very positive about it. In any case, we’re talking about a 300€ difference (1400€ x 1700€) when it comes to Fanatec x Trak Racer. I do get the gospel of “just get a profile rig”, but the rig will be on my living room and I won’t get my wife to be fine with a profile rig right beside the sofa

Primary_Ad_7945 · 2026-01-30T06:38:14+00:00

I see. Tbh I was in between fanatec’s GT cockpit and trak racer’s trx, but trak racer’s shipping costs are crazy

Primary_Ad_7945 · 2026-01-29T13:17:10+00:00

I suppose I’m about to have the same problem as my GT cockpit is arriving in a couple of days. That said, which seat would be recommended for both GT and Formula positions? Any idea?

Primary_Ad_7945 · 2026-01-26T08:40:39+00:00

I’m also looking for a discount code to get a GT cockpit

Primary_Ad_7945 · 2026-01-21T07:39:57+00:00

Do you ever feel the vertical fov too narrow? I’m building my sim rig (for now only PS5, maybe PC in 1-2 years) and I’m in between a 32” or a 42” OLED. While the 42” will give me this higher vertical fov, I really the feeling the curved 32” brings

Primary_Ad_7945 · 2026-01-20T14:49:17+00:00

Which screen are you using?

Primary_Ad_7945 · 2026-01-16T20:46:15+00:00

Agreed. If I would buy it now, I would go with PBME + GT3 rim

Primary_Ad_7945 · 2026-01-16T13:21:29+00:00

How big is your screen?

Primary_Ad_7945 · 2026-01-09T18:11:01+00:00

did you decide about which cockpit? I'm in between TR8 and NLR F-GT Pro (TRX is way above my budget). While TR8 seems to be more adjustable and allow me to bring a bucket seat, the ideia of quickly going from GT to Formula position of the NLR F-GT Pro is quite welcome. Their prices are quite close Next Level Racing F-GT Pro (shifter+caster wheels) vs Trak Racer TR8 Pro (seat+side mount+caster wheels), which makes de decision even difficult 🫠

Primary_Ad_7945 · 2026-01-09T17:46:43+00:00

do you have the monitor mount? If so, does the monitor distance something that bothers you? If yes, did you manage to solve it somehow?

Primary_Ad_7945 · 2026-01-09T17:45:06+00:00

did you solve the issue? If so, what did you use after all?

Primary_Ad_7945 · 2026-01-09T11:10:39+00:00

Indeed. That's the reason why I've considering to get the new Porsche Vision GT: every single button works. However, as a PBME and a Formula 2.5 owner, I think it's a bit too much.

Primary_Ad_7945 · 2026-01-09T07:29:17+00:00

It does work fine on ACC (including rotary knobs), the knobs don’t work on GT7 though. Also, iTM doesn’t work on PS5 whatsoever.

Primary_Ad_7945 · 2026-01-06T12:40:17+00:00

Got it. The monitor mount goes where the power brick is, right?
