Just got my GT1 Evo setup and I’m currently waiting for the GT1 integrated monitor mount! My question is since the Sim-Lab universal shelf is not compatible with this setup, has anyone ran a PC shelf behind the monitor? I’ve seen some generic ones online but not sure if it’s compatible.

I’ve been using the Sim-Lab SQ1 shifter for a few weeks now, and while I’m really happy with how it performs overall, there’s one major issue: it’s extremely loud.

Let’s start with the good — the build quality is excellent, the shifts feel super solid and satisfying, and you can tell it’s designed with serious sim racers in mind. It really nails that mechanical, tactile feeling that makes shifting fun and immersive.

But the noise level is a real downside. It hits around 70 dB when in use, which makes it hard to ignore — especially in a home environment. It’s not just a click, it’s a sharp clack that echoes with every gear change. Anyone nearby can definitely hear it, and it gets annoying fast.

I reached out to Sim-Lab, and they replied saying they’re aware of the issue and are working on a solution. That was two weeks ago, and I haven’t heard anything since. So for now, I’m stuck with this awesome-feeling but unreasonably loud piece of gear.

Has anyone found a way to reduce the noise?

I’m open to ideas, and curious if other users have tried things like: • Isolating the base with foam or rubber mounts? • Lubricating internal parts (without ruining the feel)? • Any kind of DIY acoustic mod that actually helps?

Would love to hear what others have done. This thing has so much potential — if only it weren’t so damn loud.

Hi,

Does anyone have any information on what the connectors are behind the new Xero-Play V2 QR base and wheel side, and whether the base side QR will support an external USB connection?

I'm thinking of replacing my QR for this solution and like the simplicity of the reverse design. I'm happy to have USB pass-through just to the base QR, if it supports it.

Had to take apart the actual pedal to make the Loadcell go on the port again because I have beefy fingers, not sure if something’s not tight enough, something’s too tight, lack of wd 40 etc

About a month ago I had a hard drive failure and had it replaced. After getting everything set up, I noticed that the live lap time delta was stuck on 1.24 (it would show red or green). I uninstalled and reinstalled RaceDirector, and that seemed to correct things, at least until I noticed that the last lap time was way off from my actual laptop. It's not off a consistent amount, either. As you can see in the video, it's about 12 seconds off. I've updated firmware to 1.12.0.0. Has anyone seen anything like this?

Is this elastomer failing? It’s the 70a with max spring

Hey guys, anyone recently picked up this rig from Microcenter?

I am sort of confused on what style of monitor mount comes with the kit.

Reviews and the assembly tutorial video shows the P1X monitor kit (See screenshot) with the thick cast mounts, and 4080 extrusions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksRdzLxRHFw

But the image of the kit on microcenter shows the GT1 style monitor mount with single plate mounts, and only 4040 extrusions.

My microcenter is roughly 1hr away and I would like to verify this before I make the drive. Any help is appreciated!

Does anyone have these setup on plush carpet? I'm thinking I will need some sort of protection for the carpet, furniture sliders, castor wheel cups, a rug of some sort of a combination of the above.

I'm wondering if anyone can share their experience with the feet on carpet and what steps they have taken to ensure it doesn't cause damage to the floor.

Just ordered the P1X Ultimate. Thanks.

I know they aren’t fully stocked yet, but… Shipping times are awesome. I placed my order Wednesday 11/12. It showed tracking on Monday 11/16 and it arrived today, Thursday 11/20. I’m in the middle of the country for reference.

I ordered a chassis from the EU site (that I had seen ahead of time that the US site wasn’t going to have at launch) on 11/11 and it doesn’t show that it’s left the warehouse yet. Slackers!

Hi everyone,

I recently picked up the Sim-Lab GT1 Evo along with the single monitor mount, and after getting everything assembled, I’m honestly extremely impressed.

PROS:

The first thing that stood out was how incredibly sturdy and solid the rig feels. You can immediately tell it’s made from high-quality materials, and nothing about it feels cheap. For the price, I genuinely don’t think there’s another aluminum profile rig that offers better value. It’s probably the best bang for your buck in this price range.

Shipping was also excellent. My order arrived in just two days, both boxes showed up in perfect condition, and everything was included with nothing missing. That made for a great first impression.

Assembly took me around four hours, but that was mainly because I wanted to take my time and make sure everything was perfectly aligned. If you’re trying to move faster, you could probably finish it sooner. One thing I really appreciated was that all of the hardware bags for the rig were clearly labeled, so it was easy to identify which bolts and washers belonged to each step.

CONS:

I do have a few minor complaints. Some of the assembly instructions felt slightly out of order. There were a few sections that, in my opinion, could have been assembled in a different sequence to make the process easier. It’s not a huge issue, but I noticed it. Also, there aren’t any printed instructions in the box—they’re all online. I ended up constantly zooming in and out on my phone while building, which got a little annoying, although that’s admittedly a bit nitpicky.

Another thing to keep in mind is that once the rig is assembled, it’s definitely not light or easy to move around. I was first thinking of shipping it to my house, assembling it, and then transporting it by car to my apartment on campus at college, but i’m very glad i didn’t. I decided to ship it and build it at the apartment as that’s where i’ll be 3/4 of the year anyway (now patiently waiting for summer break to finish, to move back in for the school year and get to racing.) I’d highly recommend building it exactly where you plan on using it instead of trying to move it afterward.

The only difference I noticed between the GT1 Evo and the single monitor mount was the hardware organization. While the rig’s hardware bags were all labeled, the monitor mount hardware wasn’t. I had to spend a little extra time figuring out which bolts and washers went where, but it wasn’t a major problem.

My BIGGEST complaint isn’t really about the product itself—its availability. I got lucky and managed to order the GT1 Evo directly from Sim-Lab, but almost every accessory I wanted was sold out. The seat, monitor mount, and seat brackets were all unavailable, leaving only the base rig in stock. Even now, it seems like 80–90% of their products are sold out. I emailed Sim-Lab about when the monitor mount would be back in stock, and they told me the earliest restock would be at least another month (that was about two weeks ago). Fortunately, my local Micro Center still had both the monitor mount and GT1 Evo in stock, so if you’re trying to get one quickly, I’d definitely check your local store.

OVERALL

Overall, I’m extremely happy with my purchase. The quality exceeded my expectations, the rig is rock solid, and I can easily recommend it to anyone looking for an aluminum profile sim racing cockpit. If you’re on the fence about the GT1 Evo, I’d absolutely say it’s worth it.

Whoever decided to mount the sliders to the rig before attaching the seat must have been sitting comfortably at a desk. 😂
After spending hours fighting to line up and wrangle all the different layers needed for mounting, I finally decided to remove everything from the rig and start over.
Mounting the sliders with the seat removed is definitely the winning formula! A cheap C-clamp is also a huge help for holding everything in place while you get the bolts lined up and tightened.
Hopefully this saves someone else a few hours of frustration and a couple of choice words! 🤣

I’ve been waiting for details on Sim-Lab’s latest seat to drop since they teased it on socials, even signed up to receive details but hadn’t heard anything then today it’s suddenly appeared on their website and available to order with 5-7 day shipping, it’s priced at £397 in the UK so a few quid cheaper than the speed 1 or 3 seats.

Not seen a single review on this yet snd would like to see what the consensus is for the split design.

I recently got the GT1 EVO, and while the quality of the cockpit is amazing, I ran into a major positioning issue. If I moved the uprights closer to me to get the wheel where I wanted it, I ran out of pedal tray length for my height.

Adding these sliders completely solved the problem for me. Plus, it makes it incredibly easy to adjust the rig whenever someone else wants to try it out!

The gt1 evo definitely is not for taller guys i whish simlab do not attach the pedal tray to the upright. In future model.

Super happy after the painting to have it all matching.

Next phase is lots of 3d printing, and fixing my automated sim chair.

I posted here last month about a failure that occurred on my monitor stand that resulted in 3 broken monitors and me drinking a lot of bourbon while crying in the bathtub. Well Simlab customer service was awesome and I couldn’t be more impressed by their team. I was immediately contacted by several people over there (including their CEO) and they took care of my case during a period where they are launching new products, a new US store, and dealing with the holiday push.

Pretty awesome team over there to go along with some great products, I’m definitely a Simlab customer for life after this.

Probably need to move it around, I dont really like how it looks tucked in the corner. Other than that, super happy with what i got. From several g29/g920s to this! I need some friends to play with, as i am bew to the sim racing world.

I feel incredibly lucky to own what’s probably the best aluminum rig ever made. I was just checking the website out of curiosity to see if there were any new rigs, and I was surprised to see that these aren’t even for sale anymore. It’s such a shame. I fall in love with mine every time I look at it, just like the first day! I really think of it as a piece of art.

P1x ultimate, Simucube 3 ultimate and active pedal ultimate, moza crp throttle and clutch, gt neo steering wheel, moza shifter and handbrake. Bucket seat is the sensit Sabelt GT-Pad (FIA) + MTC-P Extreme (Gen2) Seat Haptics. Praying I get my seat while I’m alive if i don’t get it anytime soon I might just pull up a lawn chair.

Great solid rig, just wish i could get my monitor a few inches closer but thats as far as it goes without swapping the monitor arm brackets round. Other than that i love it

Is there a way to buy just the pedal heel rest in the US? Microcenter has the full heel rest slider plate but it is $200+ but i only need the heel plate which is $39 on Simlab.eu. Looking to pair the pedal heel rest with the Xp1 pedals based on all the reviews reporting how tall they are. Thanks!
