First previewed as a work-in-progress prototype in December 2023, the CSL Cockpit releases today, 4th April 2024.
Fanatec has added a second sim racing cockpit to its range, sitting below the venerable RennSport Cockpit V2 rig.
Formally christened the CSL Cockpit, following a prior preview, it is available from today (4th April) for €/$399.95. The CSL moniker denotes ‘entry-level’ within the German company’s nomenclature.
A combination of aluminium tubing and steel brackets, the basic frame is claimed to support wheel bases that output up to 25Nm of torque – in the Fanatec range specifically, that’s every one of its direct drive units. The mounting bracket has three differing height options.
The brake pedal plate is also said to be designed with load cell systems in mind. Other notable features, perhaps, include holly tubing for cable management plus bundled tube caps, and two tyres of foot pads for carpet or hard flooring.
The basic layout is the more upright GT/rally seating position, although inverting the wheel base brackets can turn it into something more like a kart.
In addition to the frame, an optional shifter holder (€/$39.99) and a monitor holder (€/$119.995) are also available. A new seat has also been designed as an accompaniment, with matching yellow stitching and embroidered Fanatec branding, for 99.95.
A keyboard holder, PC or console shelf and free-standing display mount are also in development.
The German peripheral manufacturer is currently undergoing a personnel restructuring, with CEO Thomas Jackermeier recently moved aside. Despite this, according to Fanatec, the CSL Cockpit is available to ship from today across all regions.
Which rig do you think the CSL Cockpit rivals the most closely? Let us know in the comments below or on X, @OverTake_gg.
