The Next Level Racing® RC Foldable Simulator Cockpit combines the feel of a dedicated GT-style racing cockpit with a frame that can be folded for storage. A high-strength 38 mm tubular steel structure, integrated racing seat and sliders, adjustable controls, transport wheels, and Direct Drive support up to 13Nm make it a strong option for racers who need serious hardware support without permanently dedicating a room to their simulator.
Most foldable cockpits prioritize storage first and rigidity second. The RC Foldable takes a different approach by using a dedicated racing seat and a stronger tubular frame while retaining the ability to compact the cockpit and move it on integrated rear wheels.
This makes the RC F especially useful in apartments, multi-purpose rooms, offices, and living spaces where the simulator cannot remain fully deployed all the time. Buyers who never need to fold their rig may prefer the simpler fixed-frame RC Essential.
The RC Foldable is designed to provide a dedicated cockpit seating position while allowing the complete structure to be folded when the room needs to be reclaimed.
Provides a more conventional cockpit feel than fabric chair-style folding rigs.
Allows the cockpit to be compacted for storage without fully disassembling the frame.
Designed to help reduce floor-space usage when the simulator is not in use.
A high-strength 38 mm tubular steel frame gives the RC Foldable a more substantial structure than many lightweight folding cockpit designs.
Designed to resist movement during stronger steering and braking inputs.
Helps keep major cockpit components aligned under repeated use.
Steel construction supports a more permanent cockpit feel even in a foldable format.
Next Level Racing publishes support for Direct Drive wheelbases tested up to 13Nm, giving the RC Foldable compatibility with many current consumer and enthusiast wheelbase systems.
The cockpit includes features specifically intended to make moving and storing the simulator easier after a racing session.
Help roll the cockpit once it has been prepared for movement.
Assist with securing the folded configuration for moving or storage.
Allows the folded cockpit to use less floor space when appropriately positioned.
The included GT-style seat uses breathable SIMAERO Mesh, synthetic suede, and ergonomic foam construction. Integrated seat sliders provide fore/aft positioning for driver fit and easier shared use.
Breathable surface material helps with comfort during longer sessions.
Provides a more premium tactile finish at key seat surfaces.
Allow quick fore/aft adjustment to suit different drivers.
The RC Foldable provides adjustment for the major driver-control contact points, including the wheel deck and pedal plate. A shifter plate is also included.
Helps refine steering reach and driving posture.
Allows the pedal position to be tailored for comfort and control.
Provides a dedicated mounting position for compatible shifter hardware.
Foldable storage helps when the simulator shares living space.
Move the cockpit away when the room needs to serve another function.
Rated for compatible wheelbases tested up to 13Nm.
Integrated seat sliders help accommodate drivers of different heights.
Dedicated GT seating separates it from chair-style folding cockpits.
