GT Omega Prime Cockpit - Solidly Built, Easily Built, Some Situational Flaws But It's Good

GT Omega already makes great budget racing cockpits that earned them my respect, but their newest Prime cockpit targets the high end among a very competitive crowd with Simlabs, Trak Racer etc. With some situational caveats to know about before you buy, the Prime has proved in the face of my own assumptions and prejudice that it's a worthy addition to the range of choices available today for serious sim racers, at a price that's hard to moan about.
Pros:
Easy To Build (By profile rig standards anyway)
Simple To Adjust
Nothing Complicated
Solid
Cons:
Pedal Tray Flexes Slightly (I couldn't feel it in use, but it's there)
Ironically, Pedal Tray Holes Don't Flex (Restrictive Positioning)
Not Much Visual Flair
No GT Omega Fixed-Shell Bucket Seats Yet

The Prime now comes with an uprated pedal plate, and said pedal plate is available as a separate upgrade for those that need it - www.gtomega.co.uk/products/prime-pedal-plate?rfsn=5541281.35ff85&DannyLee - I am now using Heusinkveld Sprint pedals on the original tray (as featured in this video) without much reason for complaint but I'll be getting the upgrade and releasing an updated review!

[@danthomas7909]

Thanks for the review Dan. I have owned my Prime for approximately 6 months and have no complaints. I am using Fanatec V2.5 gear and for my level of racing, the flex in the wheel base is not a dealbreaker. Although, with some much importance placed on stiffness I do feel that the pedal plate should be improved.

[@dannyleeracing]

Agreed, the pedal tray is great and I personally have no complaints, but at this level the expectation is perfection so it's something that could be improved to get rid of a correctable flaw.

[@cj9959]

Great video and great setup.👍🏻 I recently upgraded to the GT OMEGA Prime and cannot fault it in any way. I have the same pedals, wheel base and steering wheel as yours and couldn't be happier with the equipment. This month I've gone from console to PC including a triple screen setup with Samsung 1000r ultra curved monitors. It now feels like a top tier setup. Good luck with your sim racing.

[@adriancuevas1587]

Not sure if GT omega has mentioned it but their new pedal tray is a massive improvement from the first batches for cockpits. Its basically 2 10mm thick aluminum plates that sandwich 2 pieces of aluminum profile. Very sturdy. You see if they can send you out the revised pedal tray for a revised review.

[@dannyleeracing]

I've got one on order, having noticed that it's now sold separately. I'll be receiving it tomorrow and covering it shortly after but it's fairly obvious what the result is gonna be! Having said that, I've been using Heusinkveld on the standard try for over a month now with no real complaints, the uprated tray will just solidify it for good!

[@adriancuevas1587]

@@dannyleeracing just thought id mention it because the revised pedal tray does come with the latest prime cockpit preorder. I recieved and built over the weekend and must its a tank of pedal tray. Ordered my rig using your discount code. Saved me a little over 30 dollars!

[@secret_one]

Hi Danny, I know this video is over a year old but, with this video and the recent one you did on the GT Omega Prime Lite you made up my mind to buy the full Prime. It was the wiggle in the uprights that I did not like on the Lite. You are the only person to point this out and thank you for that. I used you code for the 5% discount, thank you.

[@dannyleeracing]

Thanks man, I appreciate you coming back to let me know and glad it could be of use!

[@rickthomas9894]

Nice review Danny! Appreciate the humor in your review. I ordered my Prime a week ago. Just arrived and I'm working my way thru the build. I'm upgrading from a GT Omega Wheel Stand and or an Ikea Office table. This is sooooo nice. Again thanks for the review and have fun! 🙂

[@dannyleeracing]

Nice, hope the build went well! It makes you feel like such a pro stepping into a full-beans rig like this

[@Liofa73]

For the pedal tray -- Just buy a flat piece of aluminium, maybe 3-5mm, spray it matt black and lay it on top of the current tray, drill the necessary holes you need. Drill 4 more at the corners of the plate to attach to the thin tray. No more flexing.

[@bertram-raven]

That has been tried, the pedal plate stops flexing in the middle but begins bending sideways at the uprights. Ultimately, GTO need to seriously rethink their pedal plates designs across the range.

[@Toutvids]

From what I gather they have revised the pedal tray with a new one for the recent purchases. Waiting for mine to ship out and find out what they have done.

[@akpanjennings]

Or just buy a competitor’s pedal tray and swap them. Most of these major brands share the same width measurements 50cm for the pedal deck and 58cm for the wheel deck (when the vertical supports are attached to the side of the base

[@bertram-raven]

@@akpanjennings That defeats the purpose of the the GTO price point; although this appears to be moot now GTO have changed the pedal plate entirely. However, they have not addressed the wheel-base mount "weakness" caused by having a single bolt either side connecting to the uprights. Again, this is not acceptable in an 8020 rig. Of course, you can change it for a better one, but then you have raised the cost once more and brought the price in line with other offerings.

[@Dave062YT]

It now comes with a heavy duty pedal plate which is made from profile pieces and 10 mm side plates and weighs a ton and is never flexing..

[@thinkaboutwhy]

Thank you Danny, got my tracking numbers last night! Used the code, thank you sir! This review sent me right over there.

Great review! I will definitely be snagging one of these when I make the hump from my foldable cockpit!

[@pc44pilot94]

I’ve just bought this and set it up. It’s a great piece of kit. I did have an issue with my 43” Samsung on the mounting plate. Although the 200mm x 200mm mount was perfectly aligned, the Samsungs mounts are M8, the mounting bracket are m6, so need to be slightly enlarged to fit… great though. Have fun

[@dannyleeracing]

M8 bolts for a monitor is nice and hefty! But then, 43" is nice and hefty

Great review! I hope they improve the lateral placement options of the pedal plate. I saw the trak t80 has the same issue.

[@mrh11l63]

Thanks for the review Danny. I just placed an order for one, and your code saved me $$ 👍

[@Dave062YT]

Very nice review .I've just got a Logitch G pro and can't adjust the wheel deck height enough on my NLR F-GT to compensate for the extra height so decided an aluminium profile rig was the way to go and not wanting to spend another grand so what a great value rig and I'm prob going to order one any day now .Btw for those of us with back promlems ,being able to constantly vary the back angle [the same way as I do when driving my car] is a great plus and to me, it's worth sacrificing a little flex. Also I'm used to eliminating any pedal tray flex by laying 1 piece of 4x2 against the skirting board then putting another piece at an angle to the pedal tray .I wrap the wood in black material first so it looks better and as long as your rig goes against a wall there's zero flex there.Anyway looks perfect for me cheers

[@tr4ck_day]

Great review, you really covered just about everything someone could possibly want to know about the cockpit. As a current P1-X owner I have to say the look and quality are extremely similar. One question, when you were done building the cockpit was there a bunch of spare fasteners and hardware? I feel like Simlab gave me an almost lifetime supply of premium, spring-ball T-nuts and extra bolts to add accessories and modify it further in the future. I have gone pretty crazy with button boxes and accessories and I still have bags and bags of them haha. Once I saw how much they actually cost to buy, I was very surprised but how generous they were.

[@dannyleeracing]

Cheers for the comment, appreciate your view as a P1X owner - although I've never seen one in person it's evident from photos etc. that the P1X and Prime share a lot of DNA, being as Sim Lab is the most popular player in this region it's only sensible to make that the benchmark. And yeah, totally stacked with nuts n' bolts like they're givin' them away!

[@danthomas7909]

I am a proud Prime cockpit owner and agree with this review completely. To answer your question, no I did not receive many extra nuts and bolts for adding accessories. However, there are several companies out there to order from.

[@Dave062YT]

Got mine now and all built .The big difference now is the heavy duty pedal tray of course and is 100% solid all round .I got a 5% discount code from Rory Alexanders stream a while back and the whole thing was £684 with free delivery .Totally unbeatable value

[@Wargeneralguy]

this might come across as a silly question but i must ask, how much vibration does the rig transmit to the floor? i ask because i race on the second floor of an old Victorian house with floors so thin i feel like if i jumped high enough id go through, right now I'm on anti vibration matts but I'm after something that'll be easier on the floor than this gt omega ART I'm currently running on

[@dannyleeracing]

You'll certainly be needing insulation or damping to isolate the rig from the floor - you'll possibly get MORE vibration transmitted with more solid rig as it will act as an even better conductor

[@MattSmith-ks2lc]

They have a few bucket seats now. Although they are compatible with the Prime, strangely, they are not shown as an option on the configurator page for the cockpit on their site. So you need to add the cockpit without a seat and add the bucket seat from the bucket seat page. Unfortunately, all their bucket seats are now only available in pink. Hopefully, the other colours are restocked. Otherwise, I would look elsewhere.

[@MikaTarkela]

I just ordered the Prime Cockpit with the RS12 seat. Can't wait!

[@dannyleeracing]

Let me know how you get on with it! Obviously the Prime's had a few upgrades/enhancements since this video was made so it should be great

[@MikaTarkela]

Yeah :) It’s my first profile rig so I’m excited. I’ve been using a NLR Wheel Stand 2.0 but it cannot be used with a motion platform except their own product which is way overpriced for what it does so I decided to upgrade so I’m ready for the future :D

I'll likely be using TPR rudders on them most of time, which are heavy in themselves though wont likely need the heavy duty plate as much as its pendular motion unlike wheels, but good to have.

Thanks for your review mate. I have mine coming soon and I’ll also be having the same setup as yourself with the CSL DD and Clubsport v3 pedals. Honestly that tiny amount of flex would not be noticeable for me and coming from a playseat it’s going to be a night and day difference. I take your word for it that it’s not noticeable during racing. I may not even wear shoes so I’d likely get even less flex than you. One thing you didn’t touch on was the included shifter mount (unless I missed it?) but overall great review and makes me glad that I went with the Prime. 👍

[@dannyleeracing]

Sadly I don't have a shifter right now. I should really sort that out to be honest! I love a good heel toe shindig. The pedal plate flex is, to me, not noticeable - I can push that pedal as hard as possible and could not say it's there if I didn't see it on camera, but when filming I saw that it definitely was. Barry from Sim Racing Garage has a good video on the Prime which shows how things are with top end pedals and that's worth a look. Thanks for taking the time to comment, come back and let us know how you find the build and the end result, including the pedal mount

[@JohnCarlyle]

Got my Prime today. My pedal tray is completely different, it's aluminium profile too. Whether this is an option only, and they bunged it with mine due not having stock of the regular pedal tray, who knows? Only issue I have with the new pedal tray is it's height, which is due to the brackets either side, the front doesn't go lower than the height of the 160 profile sides.

[@dannyleeracing]

That's odd! I'll have to enquire! I have been nagging them to get something sorted for the pedal tray so if it *is* profile based nowadays in new kits then great, but I need to know!

[@dannyleeracing]

UPDATE: Turns out you're among the first to receive a PRIME with an improved profile-based pedal mount. Good news as this really is the one area the PRIME was functionally worse for high-end pedal sets. Info about a separately available upgrade pack will probably be forthcoming at some stage. Will have to see what it's like!

Did you try the Prime foot Plate in the Art? and does it fit? as this would still be an upgrade to the 6mm mdf fitted to the Art. Cheers J.

[@dannyleeracing]

By the sounds of it you have an early ART cockpit with an MDF pedal platform which was since replaced with sheet steel, though the Prime's pedal tray is many times more rigid than the ART's revised pedal plate. The Prime's foot plate would not fit the ART as it's much wider - The Prime's pedal plate isn't flimsy for me, it is unnoticeable on my Clubsport V3's, however there's no doubt that HE sprints would cause it to flex without being fitted to the optional pedal plate themselves (firstly to make it compatible and also to spread out the load). Even so, it would be much better with some simple additions or a profile-based 'Pro' version of the pedal plate is made as an accessory for it.

[@coryyarus7209]

Great review Dan! I am on the fence between the Omega GT Prime and Trak Racer T160. Residing in the Continental United States eliminates the P1-X due to the substantial freight charges, so I am seeking a local vendor. I have a Trak Racer quad monitor free-standing mount to accompany the 8020. I am impressed by the ease of assembly and the simplicity of the rig; you get what you need without any unnecessary bells-and-whistles. In regards to complaints associated with "pedal flex", have you fashioned any solution to reduce movement; I have seen some customers eliminate the height supports and simply bolt the plate flat to the frame. Additionally, given the narrower width of the Prime, would other brands of pedal plates be compatible? I am looking to upgrade from Fanatec V3 to HE Sprints in the future. Thank you for the comprehensive review and feedback!

[@dannyleeracing]

When it comes to the pedal plate, the first thing I'd recommend is try it as-is first. I personally find no real cause for complaint BUT I'm using Fanatec V3s which have 4 very spread-out mounting points that help keep the plate's rigidity. If you happened to have the Prime and found there was flex with HE sprints, you COULD replace the pedal tray with a profile platform instead, that wouldn't cost a great deal. The Prime pedal tray is great for pedals in the lower-mid range, from those which can't mount from above, like Logitech or Thrustmaster LCM (I think), but also can accept those that mount from above like V3's and so on. It's not the upright brackets that are the source of the flex, it's the plate itself which can be more liable to flex if you have pedals that mount in certain weird ways that cause a lot of leverage. The V3's are quite good at spreading that load, whereas I've seen one or two videos where the mounting has a very narrow footprint. Even so, a profile-based pedal plate would be an improvement just to cover the mid to high end pedal bases - I have made a suggestion that having the option to add a 'pro' pedal plate at modest additional cost would be a good idea, to save having to look elsewhere at the time, maybe this will be available somewhere down the road as it's not too hard to put something together that would do it.

Thanks for the review videos, always nicely done. Can you comment on stability of the integrated monitor mount? I race in VR so movement/vibration in the monitors doesn't matter but right now my web cam sits on top of the monitor. Do you think it would vibrate noticeably with mid-range DD wheel?

[@dannyleeracing]

It'll be absolutely fine - stability with integrated mounts is high, I ran many a stream with a webcam on top of the side monitors!

[@GlenBecker]

@@dannyleeracing Cheers, thanks.

[@JaredAkers]

Great review. Seriously consider this Prime. Stuck between this, a PX-1, or Next Level F-GT elite. I do mostly F1 racing, but not really wanting a dedicated f1 seat setting. These recliner style seats seem like they'd be more comfortable than the Next Level ES1 seat or bucket seats that come with some other kits. Although in your video here it seems there is quite a bit of flex in the RS9 seat. I'm curious to know what size triple monitors you use and the overall dimensions (foot print) of your triple monitor setup is?

[@dannyleeracing]

I use 24" triples and the overall 'foot print' of the rig (if you were to draw a square around the whole setup, including the triple monitors) is 170cm long and 150cm wide (the triple monitor stand is 150cm wide for me, could be less if you had a tighter wrap-around angle.

[@drexty7464]

Does anyone know if the pedal tray is compatible with the moza crp2 and if the wheel deck is eith the r12 aswell???

[@dannyleeracing]

Yes, they are - the pedal deck was updated in 2022 for something far, far better and the wheeldeck is compatible

How did you level your monitors so well?? I spent about 2 hours and mine are still not level due to all the little adjustments or room for being non symmetrical on either side (triples) with bolts and exact placement. Mine still are not perfect and I’m beyond frustrated.

[@dannyleeracing]

If your monitors are all identical make and model then it shouldn't be too far off - I'm assuming they are all the same?

[@CaseyM7]

@@dannyleeracing yes they are. I can’t match them up well in either height or angle really due to all the adjustability. I followed the directions to a T!

What inch is the middle monitor? Does it work with 28 inch monitor ?

[@dannyleeracing]

100% you can use 28" monitors with the PRIME mounts. They're able to accommodate large screens. Mine are 24" and that's pretty small for this kind of setup

[@marwan4601]

@@dannyleeracing what is the difference between RS6 RS9 XLRS.is it higher for heavy fat people?

[@dannyleeracing]

@@marwan4601 The XL has no aggressive side bolsters like the RS6 and RS9 do, which is good for big blokes. The RS6 is the narrowest of the bunch in terms of bum width, I'm 36" waist and I find it a touch too narrow, but the XL is far too big for me, so the RS9 is the best fit for the 'average adult bloke' build. A comfy seat all things considered - did a 3 hour race in it last night.

[@bertram-raven]

I have a GT-Omega Titan which is also let down by the pedal plate. Given that, the pedal plate is a deal breaker for me. I have a previous GT-Omega XL chair for my desk which is the best office chair I have ever had; better built and more comfortable than the hideously expensive "ergonomic" chairs from office suppliers. On my rig I have GT-Omega XL-RS seat which I do like despite the inevitable flex as it supports me during endurance racing in a way most bucket seats do not. Once I put a Fanatec DD2 and V3i pedals on the Titan I realised it was not going to be stiff enough to stop significant flex in the frame and the pedals. That GTO have not addressed their pedal-plate more seriously is disappointing. Being 8020 profile it is possible to fit a better pedal plate, but then the cost would be higher than those which come with a stiff plate from the start. That makes the Prime an irrational purchase - it appears you would be paying less for the same performance, but in the end that is not true.

[@dannyleeracing]

It seems like that problem has been met, I've had confirmation that a new profile-based pedal plate design is about to hit circulation and I've even seen evidence that some folks ordering PRIMEs very recently have received the revised pedal platform in the latest batches. I'm yet to get my hands on one to revisit it but I am confident it'll patch up that little blind spot! Having said that, I've been using my Prime with the current pedal plate happily with V3's, it's when I upgrade to something stronger that the new design will come in handy.

What monitors and what size have you got

[@dannyleeracing]

The monitors shown here are 24" iiyama 144hz G-master monitors. Whilst I've since slimmed down to a 34" Samsung Odyssey G9 1000R, the iiyama's were good!

Knowing what I know now, the Prime is a better all round pick for me. Much easier to build, much less fussy, cheaper, too.

[@D0G_CN]

a year ago people were complaining about the pedal deck flexing, they solved that problem, mine has zero flex while in use with heusinkveld sprints. excellent rig with zero flex

[@kingboong8343]

Lol 😆 I bought mine then immediately watched a review from 8 months ago and was like 😳 it wouldn't have been a deal breaker as welding a second support bar to the pedal deck would've been a piece of piss for me to do but it's good to see gt omega has tended to this issue on their own.

[@D0G_CN]

@@kingboong8343 indeed, and from what ive seen of the flex some had it would not been noticable at all i think. even tried to flex mine but my 125 kg isnt enough to flex it even a little bit lol

Does any chair fit on it

[@dannyleeracing]

Any chair will fit on it so long as it can accomodate brackets. Any bucket seat and bracket set will do just fine, for example.

[@akpanjennings]

I’m going to buy this because it’s 40\160mm profile for 600 bald eagle bucks. I’m then going to dress it up with a Trak Racer red accented DD side mount, red slot filament and pretend it’s a TR160. Hell I might even add TR’s inverted hybrid pedal plate and still come in under $1000

Too much flex in pedal tray. My friend has it and has to re think the pedal mounting and with that extra cost he could of got the Sim labs p1x

[@dannyleeracing]

The P1X is the Prime's clear rival for sure, and the pedal tray could do with a rework to take it from 90% to 100%. I'm completely satisfied with the pedal setup myself because I happen to be in the goldilocks zone that the tray accommodates, but I'm well aware of the potential positioning snags with the design that just wouldn't exist with a profile-based pedal deck. The 'shorter' mounting pattern of Heusinkveld pedals and the likes probably exacerbates the flex, too, so it's a double whammy of having to make custom mounting holes and having more flex as a result. Probably a good excuse to upgrade pedals and see with my own eyes.
