Here at Corsair's Computex suite, we saw a unique prototype of a modular sim racing cockpit and this is not surprising since we know Corsair to have intentions of entering the world of sim racing. This hybrid racing frame offers great adjustability, allowing easy changes between a semi-reclined position for Formula racing and an upright position for GT-style racing. It's perfect for fans who enjoy different types of racing.

Made with a strong steel frame, the cockpit can handle intense racing with high-torque wheelbases and heavy-duty pedals. The design reduces flex and increases stability, providing an immersive experience that makes users feel like real drivers.

Looks like it should also make for an excellent flight simming 'pit. Just need replacement pedals, mounts for a HOTAS setup somewhere comfortable, and TrackIR. Maybe an additional touchscreen for the sixpack/MFD in place of that steering wheel, too.

340€ for the wheel (not including the wheel base) and 600€ for the pedals. That's almost, if not, top of the line product, I plan to buy fanatec stuff and it's 620 for a wheel, wheel base and pedals.

Not cheaper actually, it's kinda the same price. For the same power (~5nM) I would have to pay 553€ in a bundle with worse pedals. 100€ more with better pedals is not bad at all plus the fact that the 5nM wheel base from fanatec can be upgrade to 8nM with a (not cheap) power adapter. About moza being better, all the reviews I've see don't but one that much above the other, in general the difference is in the software, settings and game compatibility.

I don't want to derail the thread but I have been reading and watching videos for months now and it looks like most people like Moza for the quiet Wheel base.
