Initially revealed as Corsair's first sim racing rig, the ClubSport GT Cockpit is now officially part of Fanatec's hardware lineup - including several accessories.
2024 certainly was a wild year for Fanatec, as Endor AG, the company behind the the sim racing brand, was acquired by Corsair and is planned to be liquidated. While the ups and downs of one of sim racing's main stories in 2024 was still unfolding, PC hardware and peripheral giant Corsair revealed its first sim racing rig, subsequently showing it for the first hands-on experiences at gamescom 2024.
While the planned Q4 2024 launch mentioned in Cologne may not have quite worked, the rig is now available to order on the Fanatec website. After bearing the famous brand's name for the first time at SimRacing Expo in Dortmund in October, it is now officially called Fanatec ClubSport GT Cockpit.
In the US shop, the rig is already stated to be available for delivery in 4-7 days, while the European shop lists the availability date as January 21, 2025. The Fanatec ClubSport GT Cockpit costs €914.95 / $799.99 and is available both in black and white. While the rig comes with an integrated VESA single monitor mount, the GT Cockpit seat has to be ordered separately for €339.95 / $299.99 - or you can add your own, as Fanatec seat shares the standard 290mm bolt pattern.
Meanwhile, the cockpit does not share the common aluminium profile construction found on many other rigs, but it is still rather customizable. Certain accessories like the shifter mount rails come with a channel for slot nuts like the profiles do, so accessories do not necessarily have to be mounted to fixed points.
A triple screen stand was also shown at both gamescom and SimRacing Expo, but does not appear on the Fanatec website yet. However, the ClubSport GT Cockpit's width of 775mm (at 1675mm in length and 725mm in height) should allow for other free-standing triple monitor stands to be used with it quite easily as well.
