The right SIMGASM Sport cockpit comes down to three choices: the wheel mount that matches your wheelbase, the colour or livery you want to see every day, and the extras such as a seat slider and monitor stand. The frame itself is the same in every version, with a 40 x 120 mm main profile, a rated braking load of 300 kg at the pedal deck and integrated cable passthroughs. So you pick the mount first, the look second and the extras last.
That order keeps things simple and avoids mistakes. The short clip below shows two popular SIMGASM looks side by side, Team Silver and Team Orange. Which one is your pick?
Step 1: which wheel mount fits your wheelbase?
The mount connects your wheelbase to the frame, so it must match the bolt pattern of your base. The Sport comes in four mount versions. The Bottom Mount covers supported patterns from Logitech, Fanatec, MOZA, Thrustmaster, SIMAGIC, PXN, Simucube, Asetek and VRS. The regular Front Mount covers supported Fanatec, Simucube and VRS models, but it does not fit any SIMAGIC base.
The Side Mount covers supported Fanatec, MOZA and SIMAGIC models. The Asetek Front Mount is only for supported Asetek bases. Always check the model table on the product page before you order. Not sure which style you like? Our guide on bottom, front or side mounts explains how each one feels.
Step 2: which colour or livery suits you?
Now the fun part. The sport sim racing cockpits come in Black, White and Silver, plus Orange, Red, Green, Blue, Gold and Purple. Orange and Red are among the most popular choices. Red gives a classic motorsport look, and Orange stands out in any room.
Want something truly special? The Sport also comes in race liveries such as JPS, MARINI, RothBros and Aichi. These are made by SIMGASM print specialist Michal Nevrela, who has more than fifteen years of experience with professional print techniques. He also turned the race car livery of racing driver Romain Monti into a one of a kind simulator, shown at SRO SpeedWeek at Spa Francorchamps.

Does the colour change the strength?
No. Every Sport version uses the same 40 x 120 mm profile, the same brackets and the same 300 kg rated braking load. The colour only changes the look. So choose freely. A tip from the product pages: a black seat, wheelbase and monitor setup gives a clean contrast with a coloured frame and keeps your controls easy to read.
What is in the box, and what is not?
Every Sport comes with the aluminium profiles, chassis brackets, the wheel mount you selected, assembly hardware and tools, white assembly gloves and the assembly guide. You also get the Apex side profile arm for a shifter or handbrake, a heel rest and rubber feet. The standard SIMGASM warranty is 2 years.
The seat, seat slider, wheelbase, steering wheel, pedals and monitor stand are not included. That keeps you in control. You only pay for what you need and you reuse the hardware you already own.

Step 3: which extras make the setup complete?
Start with the seat. SIMGASM founder Johan Akkerman, a former esports world champion and real world racing champion, uses the Sport with a Formula Atlas seat. The Atlas sim racing seats come in GT and Formula styles. Add the dual locking seat slider if more people use the rig or if you want to fine tune your position.
Next, think about your screen. The Apex Integrated Single Monitor Stand mounts directly on the frame for a tidy look. Our guide on monitor placement helps you find the right height. Last, plan your controls. The longer shifter arm leaves room for a shifter, handbrake or button box, and our button box layout guide shows a smart setup.
Is the Sport the right tier for you?
The Sport is built for wheelbases above 26 Nm and up to and including 40 Nm, and for racers who want room to grow.
