ABOUT

The Next Level Racing® GTLite Air is the best-value racing cockpit in the world and the next evolution of entry-level sim racing. Designed for first-time racers, casual enthusiasts, and users with limited space, it combines an ultra-compact folding design with trusted engineering, broad electronics compatibility, and an authentic GT racing position.

Purpose-built by a globally recognised sim racing brand, the GTLite Air offers a more refined and dependable alternative to generic entry-level cockpits. With a carbon-steel frame, secure mounting solutions, a full-coverage steel pedal plate, and included shifter support, it delivers a complete racing experience straight out of the box. Quick to assemble in under 20 minutes, easy to adjust, and simple to store with compatible electronics attached within 10 seconds, the GTLite Air brings immersive sim racing into almost any home without requiring permanent floor space.

COMPACT RACING, MADE SIMPLE 

The GTLite Air is designed for racers who want a complete cockpit experience without dedicating an entire room to their setup. Its lightweight folding design makes it easy to move between rooms and store away after each session, even with compatible electronics attached. Its compact profile makes it ideal for apartments, bedrooms, shared living spaces, and gaming areas where floor space is limited.

Assembly is simple and can be completed in under 20 minutes, allowing users to spend less time assembling and more time racing. Once set up, the carbon-steel frame, secure wheel mounting system, and full-coverage steel pedal plate provide a dependable platform for an immersive GT racing experience.

The GTLite Air can transition from storage to racing in under 10 seconds and fold away again in under 10 seconds with compatible electronics attached. Its lightweight construction and compact footprint make it ideal for apartments, bedrooms, shared living spaces, and gamin areas where floor space is limited. 

MORE INCLUDED. MORE VALUE.

Every component of the GTLite Air has been developed around the needs of sim racers. The 4 mm wheel plate supports major belt-driven, direct-drive, and clamp-mounted wheelbases, while included clamp spacers make compatible desktop-style wheel setups quick and easy to install. A rigid steel pedal plate provides secure hard mounting and lateral adjustment for a wide range of racing pedals. A dedicated shifter assembly, mounting hardware, assembly tools, and additional peripheral hardware are also included, delivering greater functionality without requiring immediate accessory purchases. The shifter support can be installed on either side to suit left- or right-handed configurations.

“The GTLite Air was designed to make a complete racing cockpit experience more accessible,” said Hess Ghah, CEO of Next Level Racing®. “We wanted to give racers the comfort, adjustability, compatibility, and included features they need, while also giving them the confidence of purchasing from a trusted sim racing brand with a proven track record.” 

ADJUSTABLE COMFORT AND IMMERSIVE PERFORMANCE

The integrated SIMAERO Mesh seat is designed around GT car ergonomics, providing supportive, natural weight distribution, seating and ventilation across the areas in contact with the body. Adjustable backrest height and seat-fabric tension help users personalise their driving position, while the wheel deck offers up to 30 degrees of angle adjustment and 60 mm of forward-and-back adjustment. For additional immersion, the seat fabric functions as an integrated sleeve, allowing the Next Level Racing® HF8 or HF8 Pro Haptic Feedback Gaming Pad to be installed beneath the seating surface for clean integration and direct, responsive racing feedback.
