What it is like to live with
The Trak Racer TR160 is a sturdy, highly configurable cockpit that suits both newcomers and experienced sim racers looking to upgrade from entry-level rigs.
The Trak Racer TR160 is a dedicated racing simulator cockpit engineered to give sim racing enthusiasts a stable, professional-grade platform for their steering wheel, pedals, and seating setup. Built from heavy-duty steel tubing, the frame delivers exceptional rigidity, effectively eliminating the flex and wobble that can plague lower-quality rigs during intense braking or cornering simulations. Its design accommodates a wide range of direct drive and belt-driven wheelbases, popular pedal sets, and shifter mounts from major manufacturers, making it a versatile foundation for racers who want to build out a setup tailored to their preferred hardware. The cockpit's adjustable components allow users to fine-tune the position of the wheel deck, pedal plate, and seat to match their driving posture, whether they favor a reclined GT-style stance or a more upright open-wheel position.
Designed with real-world usability in mind, the TR160 features a seat that slides along the frame rails, enabling quick adjustments for drivers of different heights and preferences without requiring tools or complicated reconfiguration. The wheel deck itself is built to handle the torque and feedback forces generated by powerful direct drive wheelbases, ensuring that intense force feedback translates into a realistic, planted feel rather than unwanted rig movement. Cable management channels and mounting points are thoughtfully integrated throughout the frame, helping racers keep their setup tidy and reducing the clutter of wires that often accumulates around pedals, wheelbases, and handbrakes. This attention to practical detail reflects Trak Racer's broader philosophy of creating cockpits that support long racing sessions without fatigue or distraction.
For sim racers who also dabble in flight simulation, the TR160's adaptable mounting system can often be configured to support joystick and throttle quadrant accessories, extending its usefulness beyond pure racing titles. The cockpit's compact footprint, relative to its sturdiness, makes it a practical choice for home setups where space is at a premium but performance cannot be compromised. Whether used for competitive esports racing, casual weekend sessions, or serious sim racing league participation, the TR160 provides a dependable backbone that lets drivers focus on lap times and race craft rather than worrying about equipment stability. Its blend of structural integrity, adjustability, and compatibility with popular peripherals positions it as a solid mid-tier option within Trak Racer's broader lineup of simulation cockroaches.
