Trak Racer has a wide range of monitor stands, from integrated solutions to heavy freestanding triple stands. SIM racers search these products because monitor mounting is one of the most annoying parts of a sim build: alignment takes time, cables get messy, and small vibrations ruin immersion.
This guide explains what to compare, and how Trak Racer monitor stand choices map to the SIMGASM Core (integrated) and Apex (integrated or freestanding) monitor ecosystems.
Start with the decision that matters most: integrated or freestanding
- Integrated monitor stands bolt to the rig. Great for clean builds, especially when you are not using motion.
- Freestanding monitor stands sit on the floor. Better if you plan motion later, share the rig, or want maximum adjustability.
Trak Racer vs SIMGASM monitor stands: a comparison that saves hours
| What you care about | Trak Racer stands (typical) | SIMGASM Core and Apex |
|---|---|---|
| VESA support | Often 75×75 and 100×100 depending on brackets | Core supports 75/100; Apex supports 75/200 for more flexibility |
| Monitor count | Single, double, triple; some quad options | Core integrated can carry up to 4 monitors up to 34"; Apex scales to triple/quad and more as freestanding |
| Alignment workflow | Depends on micro-adjust features | Designed for easy alignment, with clean routing and strong support arms |
| Cable management | Usually external routing | Apex includes integrated cable pass-through features for a cleaner build |
How to choose the right stand for your monitors
1) Decide your monitor size and curvature
Triples can be 27" or 32". Ultrawide can be 34" or 49". The bigger the screen, the more you need a stand that resists vibration and keeps alignment locked.
2) Check VESA patterns before you buy anything
Many gaming monitors use 75×75 or 100×100. Some larger screens use 200×200. If you want a stand that covers more cases, choose a system that supports larger VESA patterns from the start.
3) Think about motion and tactile
Even without a motion platform, bass shakers and tactile can make an integrated stand vibrate. Freestanding stands can keep screens calmer.
SIMGASM recommendations, depending on your build
- Clean integrated build: Core integrated triple monitor stand for a cockpit-mounted triple setup.
- Flexible and motion-ready: Apex freestanding triple monitor stand for stable screens even if the rig moves.
- Integrated Apex option: Apex integrated triple monitor stand when you want Apex features with an integrated look.
If you’re not sure which stand matches your monitors, SIMGASM support can help quickly. The goal is simple: you get a stable, aligned view with tidy cable routing, without paying for the wrong brackets.
Recommended SIMGASM gear: Core integrated triple monitor stand, Apex freestanding triple monitor stand, and Apex integrated triple monitor stand.

Practical alignment tips that work on any stand
- Set your eye point first: sit in driving position and mark your eye height. Align the center of the middle screen to that height.
- Match angles before micro-adjust: rough-in the monitor angles, then use micro adjustments only for the final 1–2 mm.
- Use bezel correction last: fix physical alignment first, then use software correction if your sim supports it.
- Leave service loops: HDMI and DisplayPort cables hate tight bends. Give them slack so alignment doesn’t change when you adjust the rig.
Done right, a triple screen setup becomes “set and forget” — and that’s exactly what you want when you’re focusing on driving, not hardware.
