Fanatec ClubSport GT Cockpit Seat Compatibility

The Fanatec ClubSport GT Cockpit is a versatile and highly adjustable sim racing rig designed to accommodate both Fanatec’s own GT Cockpit Seat and a wide variety of third-party racing seats. Let’s explore the options available for fitting the perfect seat onto your setup.

The best match for the ClubSport GT Cockpit is the Fanatec GT Cockpit Seat, a premium seat designed specifically to maximize comfort and performance during long sim racing sessions.

Key features of the GT Cockpit Seat include:

• Available in black and white.
• Fiber-reinforced plastic shell: Provides durability and lightweight construction.
• Ventilated fabric surface: This ultra-breathable fabric offers four times the ventilation compared to standard racing seats, ensuring comfort during endurance races.
• Industry-standard 290mm bolt pattern
• Available in black or white shells with a charcoal-colored cover, allowing you to match your rig’s aesthetic.
• Dimensions: 635mm x 653mm x 920mm (L x W x H), making it a compact yet ergonomic option for most setups.

The GT Cockpit Seat is sold separately and is the easiest and most reliable choice for this cockpit, ensuring a seamless fit and quick assembly.

For those who prefer to use their own seat, the ClubSport GT Cockpit supports a wide range of third-party racing seats that adhere to industry standards.

What to look for in a compatible seat:

1. Bolt hole spacing: Seats with a 290mm side bolt hole spacing will fit the cockpit perfectly. This is a common industry standard, so many racing seats from well-known brands will work seamlessly.
2. Size considerations: Ensure the seat dimensions fit within the cockpit’s frame dimensions (1675mm length, 775mm width, 725mm height). Most standard seats designed for sim racing rigs will be compatible.

The ClubSport GT Cockpit offers multiple adjustment points to fine-tune the seating position, whether you prefer a traditional upright posture or a semi-reclined Formula-style seating position. This versatility makes it easy to integrate third-party seats without compromising comfort or performance.

Additionally, the cockpit’s sturdy, flex-resistant steel frame provides a stable base for high-torque wheelbases and heavy-duty pedal sets, ensuring that your chosen seat remains secure during intense racing sessions.

Whether you opt for the Fanatec GT Cockpit Seat or a third-party alternative, the ClubSport GT Cockpit’s compatibility and adjustability provide the flexibility to create your dream racing setup. Be sure to check the bolt spacing and dimensions of third-party seats to ensure they fit seamlessly into the cockpit’s robust frame.

For the ultimate experience, we recommend the GT Cockpit Seat, which pairs perfectly with the cockpit and is designed to provide unmatched comfort, durability, and style.
