RGB in a racing seat because that's what all the sim enthusiasts are chasing. How very 2001 of them.

System Name Very old, but all I've got ®
Processor So old, you don't wanna know... Really!
No price....

Indeed. This is very in the TT-ish way. Slap a TT badge on someone's design, and get premium tax. Been like this for two decades already. Never understood all the hype about this company and its (???) products. Even this cockpit looks very similar to both GT Omega, and Track Racer.

However, I must admit, the TT's (or rather its OEM's) design, looks interesting, and even superior to many similar unibody/one-piece cockpits. This might be the first time, I really like ThermalTake product, or at least the concept. The frame looks solid, but I'm not sure the wheelbase plate mounting is sturdy enough to withstand the heavy high torque DD wheel bases/servo motors, akin SimSteering 2, or Simucube 2, etc. Gotta wait for honest review, since there's not a single one, except some ads on YT and Instagram.

And the RGB stripes are surely excessive. Not sure if it's worth getting this, over 80/20, if the price gap is small.
