Great video man! Looking to purchase my own gt1 pro soon

[@ADAPTNetwork]

Thanks for your kind words mate; I'm stoked you liked the review. The GT1 Pro is an outstanding cockpit in it's class-it'll handle pretty much anything you can throw at at! 👍

Good video Ben

Thanks mate; I appreciate the kind words. 🙏

Great video, Do you do a lot of sim racing in your free time?

[@ADAPTNetwork]

Thanks for your kind words Lewis-I'm stoked you liked the review. I currently race mainly iRacing when I'm not reviewing sim racing rigs. However, I've taken some time off over the summer, while I work on some outdoor gear reviews for the ADAPT website and KZbin channel. 🏃‍♂️🚵‍♂️🏄‍♂️

Thanks for the review! How you compare this to the GT1 Evo? Is this the best option even with the 200€ difference? Thanks in advance!

[@ADAPTNetwork]

Thanks for your question Flourenco. The GT1 Evo remains an excellent option for sim racers looking to buy their first aluminium profile rig, especially if on a budget ( adaptnet.work/GT1Evo ). However, with the move away from cumbersome corner brackets and the addition of angled uprights, the GT1 Pro is my recommendation for those running higher-torque direct drive wheel bases and hydraulic pedals ( adaptnet.work/GT1Pro ). Hope that helps. 👍

[@flourenco30]

@@ADAPTNetwork Thank you so much for your fast answer! It's my first ever cockpit, that's why i'm such a bad position to choose any of them.. I could spend the extra money the GT1 Pro costs if it's worth it, but if you say so, maybe that will be my choice!

[@ADAPTNetwork]

No worries @@flourenco30. You won't go wrong with either cockpit. However, if you can stretch your budget, the GT1 Pro can handle pretty much anything you can throw at it. Happy sim racing mate. 🏎🏁

Lot of people say that due to the angled portions, the gt1 pro would have more incompatibility issues than say the OG Gt1 evo. Can you comment?

[@ADAPTNetwork]

Apologies for the delayed response Flexium. This really depends on the extra peripherals you're looking to add and where they would be bolted to the rig. There would be no compatibility issues, for example, when attaching standard accessories to the flat sides of the profile. Additionally, as more cockpits are leaning towards this slanted upright design, add-ons are being made with compatibility in mind. For example, the Sim-Lab keyboard tray features a swivel joint to compensate ( adaptnet.work/SLKT ). Hope that helps. 👍

[@DrR1pper]

The GT Evo was your daily driver before this one? Not one of the Next Level Racing cockpits?

[@ADAPTNetwork]

Great observation mate. The Next Level Racing F-GT Elite was close to taking over. However, the compact Sim-Lab GT1 Evo worked slightly better in the space I had to work with, so it remained my go-to rig in between testing. 👍

[@DrR1pper]

@@ADAPTNetworkah ok, fair enough. Thank you for making your reviews by the way, they’re very helpful and quite enjoyable to watch. I’m currently trying to decide between the SimLab P1X-Pro and NLR GT Elite.

[@ADAPTNetwork]

Cheers @@DrR1pper, I really appreciate the kind words. I haven't tested the Sim-Lab P1X-Pro. However, in my experience, I've found that Sim-Lab profile tends to be of higher grade. This comes at the cost of weight though, so that's something to consider-especially if you plan to use the rig in an upstairs room. Also, the NLR GT Elite remains a very robust rig in it's own right and is more than capable of running high-torque direct drive wheel bases. I would additionally consider your future upgrade path. The GT Elite, for example, is pre-drilled for NLR motion systems. However, if you opt for other third-party actuators, then the Sim-Lab P1X-Pro may be a better fit. Hope that helps. 👍

[@DrR1pper]

@@ADAPTNetwork ooh, thank you so much for that additionally in-depth reply! I very much appreciate it! I don’t have any plans to add motion to my rig as I’ve only had bad experiences with them when I’ve tried them before, so i can safely rule that one out for myself when trying to future proof. However, I am intending to upgrade to the Asetek Forte and heavy/stiff pedal set (perhaps the invicta even). Would these points sway the recommendation more towards more than the other?

[@ADAPTNetwork]

No worries @@DrR1pper. In this case, I'd opt fot the Sim-Lab P1X Pro ( adaptnet.work/P1XPro ). The pedal deck is an absolute beast. 👍

[@TheMaximusPride]

Don’t see why it should cost x1.5 from evo version

[@ADAPTNetwork]

Thanks for your comment TMP. I think the extra cost is due to the besoke aluminium brackets, that cost more to produce than off-the-shelf corner brackets.
