Trak Racer TR120

The Trak Racer TR120 is a mid-tier aluminium profile sim racing cockpit with a distinctive curved base design. The frame is built from thick-walled aluminium extrusion with heavy-duty brackets throughout, and the whole thing is sold through an online configurator that lets you select your wheelbase mount, pedal plate, shifter arm, seat, and monitor stand before the order ships. You get a rig built to your configuration rather than a box of components you need to figure out on arrival.

The curved base is the most immediately recognisable thing about the TR120 compared to flat-profile competitors at the same price. What matters more than aesthetics is the underlying frame quality: the thicker extrusion and heavier brackets are the reason reviewers running 12Nm direct drive bases have not reported any flex over extended use. This is not a rig that softens under load and vibrates its bolts loose over three months.

If you are moving from a desk setup to your first dedicated rig, or you know you want to upgrade to direct drive within the next year, the TR120 is the sensible mid-tier buy. The adjustability across wheelbase mounts, pedal plates, and shifter arms means you can reconfigure the rig as your hardware changes without replacing it. amstudio ran the rig as a hardware test bench across multiple wheelbases and pedal sets for six months and the frame never needed retightening. After six months of heavy testing, amstudio noted only cosmetic marks on the anodised mount near bolt points from frequent component swaps. Nothing structural. The frame becomes the one part of the setup you stop thinking about, which is precisely what you want from a mid-tier aluminium profile rig at this price.
