The Next Level Racing® GTElite Ford GT Edition Cockpit,an official Ford Licensed product.


Introducing an official Ford Licensed product, the Next Level Racing® GTElite Ford GT Edition Cockpit.
The GTElite Ford GT Edition cockpit’s patent-pending design brings rigidity and stability into a new price point making it the best mid-range aluminium profile cockpit on the market.
Premium blue anodization finish, laser etched Ford Oval logo, Ford GT Logo, and the laser etched iconic Ford GT stripes, the GTElite Ford GT Cockpit completes the Ford brand experience for the user.
With attention to detail and engineering as seen on our Elite series, the GTElite Ford Edition compared to mid-range cockpits in its class is more rigid, easier to assemble, provides more inclusions, while providing a higher quality finish.
While constructed to suit the mid-range category with a “4080” profile, through cutting edge engineering and manufacturing, combined with unique components, fixtures, and reinforcements, the GTElite Ford Edition is the most rigid mid-range cockpit.
Through this innovative process, the GTElite Ford GT Edition in some cases is stronger than conventional “16040” cockpits seen on the market.
With an extensive ecosystem in mind, the GTElite is upgradable to be compatible with Next Level Racing® Motion Products and has the ability to be transformed into a multi-position cockpit solution with the ready set kits*.

BUILT TO BE STRONG
Conventional corner brackets are things of the past.
The GTELite Ford GT Edition Cockpit utilizes an 8mm thick Carbon Steel Reinforced Upright Direct Mounting plates, allowing the GTElite Ford GT Edition Cockpit to have a stronger reinforcement and connection between the vertical uprights and the base of the chassis.
To eliminate any movement and increase the clamping force between the components, custom-engineered full channel width spring ball T-slot nuts are used throughout the build + through bolts for areas that require higher clamp force and rigidity.
The 8mm Carbon Steel Sandwich Plate also provides a connection between the vertical uprights and the pedal plate to lock in and increase the reinforcement between the structural parts of the cockpit. The strength continues with precision machined holes to bolt the base of the profile directly for a more rigid foundation.
