NexusRig Velocity Black – Formula & GT Sim Racing Cockpit, 2-Inch Steel, Up to 30 Nm

NexusRig Velocity Black: overview

The NexusRig Velocity is a hybrid formula and GT sim racing cockpit co-designed with Formula engineers, and this version comes in an understated black finish that suits any room and any livery. It lets you switch between a low, reclined formula position and an upright GT position in minutes – tool-free.

Its 2-inch tubular steel chassis handles direct drive wheel bases up to 30 Nm, and the strengthened pedal plate withstands up to 180 kg of braking force without flex, so load cell and hydraulic pedals feel exactly as they should.

The tool-free wheel deck, pedal tray and patent-pending seat assembly all adjust in height, angle and distance. Bring your own seat – or add our hybrid fibreglass seat – and build the rig your way.

Who the nexusRig Velocity Black is for

Drivers who race formula and GT:

• Drivers who switch between single-seaters and GT cars
• Direct drive owners up to 30 Nm
• Load cell and hydraulic pedal users (180 kg braking without flex)
• Esports drivers and training centres

Choosing and building a sim rig

Rigidity first. A cockpit exists so the force your wheel base produces goes into your hands, not into a flexing frame. Direct drive bases need a stiff front mount; aluminium profile rigs (40 mm and 80 mm extrusion with 8 mm slots) are the stiffest and most adjustable, while steel tube rigs are lighter and quicker to assemble.

Driving position. GT position puts you upright with the pedals low; formula position reclines the seat and raises the pedals. Check whether the cockpit, seat bracket and pedal mount allow the position you want.

Plan the extras. Monitor stands, shifter and handbrake mounts, keyboard trays and PC shelves bolt onto most profile rigs. Planning them up front avoids drilling or re-assembling later.

Setup and use

1. Assemble the tubular chassis with the included tool kit (about 2 hours).
2. Fit your seat (not included) to the seat assembly and your pedals to the pedal plate.
3. Choose a wheel mounting option and install your wheel base.
4. Set formula or GT: adjust seat angle, pedal tray height and angle, and wheel deck position.
5. Fit optional shifter, handbrake or monitor mounts.

Care and maintenance

Check bolts after the first week and then monthly with a high-torque base. Wipe the powder-coated steel with a damp cloth. The rubber feet protect your floor; keep them fitted.
