Reviewers and owners praise the SIMGASM Club for three things: a frame that stays solid with direct drive and load cell pedals, an easy assembly, and a compact footprint. On the SIMGASM store the Club Black page shows a score of 4.9 out of 5 from 31 reviews, and creators on YouTube have covered both the Club and its sister rigs. The main thing to know before you buy: the seat is sold separately.
Below you find what owners say, what video creators showed, and how the Club compares with the Hobby and Sport in those reviews.
What do Club owners say in their reviews?
Owner reviews tell you how a rig behaves after weeks of real use, not just on the first day.
Solid with direct drive
The theme that comes back most is stiffness. One owner writes that the rig is super solid and shows zero flex with a direct drive wheelbase and a load cell brake. Another runs a Simagic Alpha EVO on the Club and reports no noticeable flex or creaking. That matches the specs: a 40 × 80 mm main profile and a rated braking load of 200 kg at the pedal deck.
Easy to build and adjust
Several owners mention that assembly is effortless and that the range of adjustment is good. One reviewer moved from a home built wooden rig and calls the Club far more solid after he set it to his size. The Club ships with all tools, white assembly gloves and the assembly guide, plus an assembly video on the SIMGASM channel.
Finish and colour
Owners of the coloured versions like the finish. One buyer of the red Club describes the colour as really nice and quite scratch proof, with no play anywhere in the frame. The Club is available in nine colours and four liveries, so this point matters to many buyers.

What did video creators show?
Video reviews let you see the frame move, or not move, under real driving.
The Simpit visited the SIMGASM booth at Sim Gaming Expo 2026 and sat down with founder Johan Akkerman to talk about the design choices behind the range. The same channel also published full reviews of the Hobby and the Sport. French creator L1ftandCoast posted a complete test of the Club, and Dutch creator SpoOky1611 showed a full sim corner makeover built around a Club. Together they give you a clear view of the frame from every angle.

Where do reviewers place the Club in the range?
Reviews make most sense when you know where the Club sits between the other tiers.
Between Hobby and Sport
The Hobby uses a 40 × 40 mm profile and a 150 kg braking rating, so it suits lighter wheelbases and smaller budgets. The Sport moves to 40 × 120 mm, 300 kg, integrated cable passthroughs and motion readiness. The Club sits in the middle with a 40 × 80 mm profile and 200 kg, and owners pick it because it feels planted with strong direct drive while it stays compact at 500 × 1350 × 620 mm.

How the Club compares with rivals
Many buyers compare the Club with complete packages from other brands before they order. Our guides on the Club vs the Thermaltake GR500 and the Club vs the Next Level Racing GTtrack show where the modular aluminium frame wins and where a complete package makes more sense.
What should you keep in mind before you buy?
Good reviews still come with a few practical notes.
The Club is a chassis. The seat, seat slider, wheelbase, pedals and monitor stand are separate, so plan your full setup first. One owner 3D printed small parts to fit a car seat and raised the rig slightly with printed feet, which shows how flexible the slotted profile is, but also that a matching sim seat saves time. Check the wheel mount table on the product page before you order, because the right mount depends on your exact wheelbase model.
Trust matters too. Across all products, SIMGASM shows a score of 4.95 from 244 verified reviews. The company is based in Wijk bij Duurstede, the Netherlands, was formally incorporated on 27 February 2026, and gives a 2 year warranty on the Club. Johan Akkerman, a former esports world team champion and later Chief Business Officer at Trak Racer, designed the range, and every product is tested as part of a complete simulator.
