Sabelt Sim Racing Cockpits

Sabelt Sim Racing Cockpits & Rigs UK

Sabelt brings decades of real-world motorsport experience into sim racing, creating cockpit systems designed around authentic driving positions, structural rigidity and precision-engineered components.

The Sabelt Sim Racing cockpit range includes six models, covering everything from entry-level home simulators to dedicated GT, rally, drifting and Formula racing setups.

Unlike a one-size-fits-all simulator frame, Sabelt offers distinct cockpit designs to suit different motorsport disciplines.

The S Series focuses on GT and endurance racing, the X Series is developed around road-car, rally and drifting positions, and the P Series provides a dedicated Formula-style driving environment.

Sabelt Lite – Entry-Level Sim Racing Cockpit

The Sabelt Lite provides an accessible starting point for drivers entering the Sabelt Sim Racing ecosystem.

Designed for home sim racing, the Lite combines a compact cockpit platform with race-inspired construction and mounting solutions for compatible steering wheels and pedal systems.

It is an ideal choice for drivers moving from a desk-mounted steering wheel or basic simulator stand to a dedicated cockpit.

The Lite is also suitable for drivers who want a straightforward, permanent racing setup without immediately investing in a more specialised GT, rally or Formula cockpit.

Best suited to: Home sim racing, first-time cockpit buyers and drivers upgrading from basic simulator stands.

Sabelt S99-E – Upgradeable GT Sim Racing Cockpit

The Sabelt S99-E is designed for GT and endurance racing enthusiasts who want to enter the S99 cockpit range with a more accessible initial specification.

It combines the GT-focused S Series cockpit design with Lite wheel and pedal decks, providing a starting configuration that can be upgraded as the simulator develops.

Drivers can subsequently replace these components with higher-specification Sabelt wheel and pedal decks without replacing the complete cockpit.

This makes the S99-E particularly appealing to customers planning future upgrades to their steering and braking hardware.

Best suited to: GT and endurance racers looking for an upgradeable cockpit with a lower initial investment.

Sabelt X99-E – Upgradeable Rally & Drift Cockpit

The Sabelt X99-E brings the same upgradeable approach to Sabelt’s X Series, which is designed around road-car, rally and drifting simulation.

The X Series focuses on a more upright, road-style driving position, making it particularly suitable for drivers using traditional steering wheels, sequential shifters, H-pattern gearboxes and handbrakes.

Like the S99-E, the X99-E uses Lite wheel and pedal decks, allowing customers to upgrade to higher-specification mounting components later.

It provides an appealing foundation for a rally or drifting simulator that can evolve alongside the driver’s equipment.

Best suited to: Rally, drifting, road-car and NASCAR simulation, particularly where future hardware upgrades are planned.

Sabelt S99 – Premium GT Sim Racing Cockpit

The Sabelt S99 is a dedicated GT-focused cockpit designed for drivers seeking a high-performance simulator platform.

Part of Sabelt’s S Series, it is developed around the driving position associated with GT and endurance racing cars.

Its rigid aluminium-profile construction and adjustable mounting architecture provide a stable foundation for compatible direct drive wheelbases, performance pedal systems and motorsport-inspired racing seats.

Compared with the S99-E, the S99 is aimed at customers choosing the higher-specification cockpit configuration from the outset.

Best suited to: Competitive GT and endurance racing, high-end home simulators and professional-style GT installations.

Sabelt X99 – Premium Rally & Drift Cockpit

The Sabelt X99 is the higher-specification X Series cockpit, designed for drivers who prefer the driving position associated with road cars, rally vehicles and drifting.

Its layout is particularly suited to simulators incorporating round steering wheels, shifters and handbrakes, where driver positioning and access to additional controls are important.

The X99 provides a rigid, adjustable cockpit platform for compatible high-performance steering and pedal systems.

For customers building a dedicated rally or drifting simulator, the X99 offers a more specialised alternative to a conventional GT-style cockpit.

Best suited to: Rally, drifting, NASCAR, road-car simulation and advanced mixed-discipline setups.

Sabelt P99 – Formula Sim Racing Cockpit

The Sabelt P99 is Sabelt’s dedicated Formula cockpit, developed for drivers who want to reproduce the seating position of an open-wheel racing car.

Unlike GT and road-car cockpits, Formula simulators require a more reclined driving position with raised pedals and a different relationship between the seat, steering wheel and pedal assembly.

The P99 is designed around these requirements, creating a more authentic environment for Formula racing.

Its rigid aluminium-profile construction and adjustable mounting options provide a foundation for high-performance direct drive wheelbases and braking systems.

Best suited to: Formula 1, Formula 2, Formula 3 and other open-wheel racing simulations.

Which Sabelt Sim Racing Cockpit Should You Choose?

Choosing the right Sabelt cockpit depends primarily on the type of racing you enjoy, your preferred driving position and whether you want to upgrade your simulator over time.

For drivers who race several disciplines and want a straightforward dedicated simulator, the Lite provides an accessible starting point.

GT and endurance racers should consider the S99-E or S99, while rally and drifting enthusiasts will generally benefit from the X99-E or X99 driving position.

For drivers primarily racing Formula cars, the P99 provides a cockpit designed around the more reclined open-wheel seating position.

Sabelt S99-E & X99-E – Upgrade Your Cockpit Over Time

One of the most important features of the new Sabelt S99-E and X99-E cockpits is their modular upgrade path.

Both models are supplied with Lite wheel and pedal decks, allowing drivers to start with a more accessible configuration while retaining the option to upgrade their mounting systems.

As your requirements change, the Lite components can be replaced with compatible higher-specification Sabelt wheel and pedal decks.

This provides several advantages:

• Lower initial cost: Start with Lite mounting components rather than the higher-specification decks.
• Upgradeable wheel mounting: Move to a more advanced wheel deck when required.
• Upgradeable pedal mounting: Replace the Lite pedal deck with a compatible higher-specification version.
• Flexible purchasing: Upgrade individual components rather than replacing the entire cockpit.
• Long-term ownership: Build around a cockpit platform that can develop alongside your sim racing equipment.

For customers planning to upgrade their direct drive wheelbase or pedal system in the future, the S99-E and X99-E offer a practical alternative to purchasing a complete higher-specification cockpit immediately.

GT vs Rally vs Formula – Why Cockpit Position Matters

The correct driving position is an important part of building a realistic and comfortable simulator.

GT & Endurance Racing – S Series

GT racing cockpits use a driving position suited to enclosed racing cars, with the seat, steering wheel and pedals arranged for sustained control over long sessions.

The Sabelt S99-E and S99 are designed around this style of racing, making them suitable for GT3, GT4, touring car and endurance simulations.

Rally & Drifting – X Series

Rally and drifting often involve a more upright driving position, together with frequent steering corrections and access to additional controls.

The Sabelt X99-E and X99 are designed for road-style seating positions, making them suitable for rally, drifting and other disciplines where a conventional car-style cockpit is preferred.

Formula Racing – P Series

Formula racing requires a more reclined seating position, with the driver’s legs extended towards a raised pedal assembly.

The Sabelt P99 is designed to recreate this open-wheel driving geometry, providing a dedicated solution for Formula sim racing enthusiasts.

Engineered for Direct Drive Wheelbases & Performance Pedals

Sabelt Sim Racing cockpits provide a rigid foundation for compatible high-performance sim racing hardware.

A stable cockpit is particularly important when using powerful direct drive wheelbases and high-resistance braking systems.

Minimising unwanted movement in the cockpit helps drivers maintain consistent steering and braking inputs while allowing the hardware to perform as intended.

Depending on the model and mounting components, Sabelt cockpits can be configured with compatible equipment from manufacturers such as:

• MOZA Racing
• SIMAGIC
• Simucube
• CONSPIT
• Heusinkveld

When choosing a cockpit, check the wheelbase mounting pattern, pedal mounting requirements and any adapters needed for your preferred equipment.

Sabelt Racing Seats & Cockpit Accessories

A complete simulator requires more than a cockpit frame.

Sabelt offers racing seats, mounting components and accessories designed to complement its cockpit systems.

Depending on the model and configuration, these may include:

• GT-style racing seats
• Formula-style simulator seats
• Seat mounting brackets
• Seat sliders
• Wheel deck upgrades
• Pedal deck upgrades
• Shifter and handbrake mounting accessories
• Monitor mounting solutions

Choosing the right seat is particularly important because the seating position differs between the S, X and P cockpit ranges.

Check the individual product specifications to confirm which accessories are included and which are available separately.
