The SIMGASM Hobby is our starting recommendation for a MOZA R5 cockpit. Choose the Bottom Mount variant for direct mounting. Compare the cockpits compatible with MOZA R5 to find your preferred setup.
Club suits drivers planning firmer pedals or more demanding hardware. Sport and Pro also fit the R5 with Bottom Mount. Choose those around your complete setup and future plans.
What the MOZA R5 needs from a cockpit
The MOZA R5 delivers 5.5 Nm of peak torque. A fixed cockpit gives the wheelbase, pedals and seat consistent positions. That makes each session easier to repeat.
For many R5 owners, sliding pedals are the first frustration. A moving chair adds another variable whenever you brake. Securing those parts matters alongside mounting the wheelbase.
Start with your driving position before changing force feedback settings. Adjust the seat, pedals and wheel together. You should reach every control without stretching or bracing yourself.
Which SIMGASM cockpit should you choose?
Hobby for your first dedicated R5 setup
The SIMGASM Hobby Black cockpit suits a first permanent driving position. Its compact aluminium frame keeps the entry cost accessible. Hobby already suits the R5, so a higher tier is optional.
Choose Hobby when your priority is replacing a desk setup. Put the remaining budget towards a comfortable seat and suitable display. Measure the complete arrangement, including space to enter the cockpit.
Club when your planned upgrades justify it
The SIMGASM Club Black cockpit uses a deeper main profile. We recommend it when firmer pedals or stronger wheelbases feature in your plans. Those upgrades give the additional structural reserve a clear purpose.
Sport and Pro remain compatible choices with Bottom Mount. Consider them when your wider build calls for their additional features. The R5 alone does not require either tier.
How to mount the MOZA R5
Select Bottom Mount on your chosen cockpit product page. The SIMGASM Bottom Wheelmount for MOZA R5 provides adjustable mounting on Club, Sport and Pro. Hobby uses its own compatible Bottom Mount configuration.
Your cockpit includes the wheelmount option selected at checkout. Choose Bottom Mount and you do not need to buy it again. A separate adapter plate is unnecessary for this combination.
Adjust wheel height, reach and tilt before final tightening. Keep your shoulders relaxed with a slight elbow bend. Check the mounting fasteners after your first sessions.
Choose a seat and screen position
The Core Recline Seat in Black offers adjustable backrest positioning. It makes a practical pairing for a first R5 cockpit. The seat is a separate purchase unless your selected bundle includes it.
Prefer a more focused GT seating arrangement? Compare the Atlas Gran Turismo seat in Black and its adjustment options. Our sim racing seat fitting guide explains how to establish your driving position.
The Core Integrated Single Monitor Stand in Black keeps one screen on the cockpit. Check its mounting requirements against your display. Position the screen after setting your seat and wheel.
What changes when your R5 setup grows?
Firmer pedals make seat mounting and pedal support more important. Evaluate your actual braking pressure before choosing a higher cockpit tier. Club offers an upgrade when your planned setup needs more reserve.
Triple screens do not automatically require a different cockpit. An Apex Freestanding Triple Monitor Stand in Black supports them independently. Check display fit and available floor space before ordering.
Before your first session
- Adjust seat distance so full braking leaves your knee slightly bent.
- Support your heels and choose a comfortable pedal angle.
- Set wheel reach without lifting your shoulders.
- Leave cable slack wherever a seat or control moves.
- Test the controls, then check every mounting connection.

Hobby, Club, Sport and Pro fit with the Bottom Mount option. Hobby is our recommended starting point for an affordable R5 setup.

No, your chosen cockpit includes the selected wheelmount option. Select Bottom Mount for the R5 before adding it to your cart.
Is Club necessary for the MOZA R5?
No, Hobby already provides a suitable R5 cockpit. Choose Club when your planned pedals or wheelbase upgrades justify its additional reserve.
