The Beast - FGT ELITE Edition
Force2Motion 8DOF - Motion-Simulator - Built-to-Order "The Beast" - FGT ELITE Edition
The ultimate combination of Seat-Mover and Full-Motion-Cockpit with Traction Loss
With the new FGT ELITE cockpit from Next Level Racing, we have now found the third basis for our "Beast". Thanks to its construction with high-quality aluminium profiles, it fulfils several of the requirements we have for a cockpit that is to be modularly expanded into a fully movable motion system:
In the first stage of expansion, you can install a Next Level Racing Motion Platform V3 in the FGT ELITE cockpit and from now on the seat will move analogue to the movements of your car or plane in your favourite simulation. Then add the Buttkicker Gamer 2 and the immersion effect is increased by the realistic feeling of engine vibrations and road effects.
In the next stage of expansion, screw the FGT ELITE cockpit directly onto the Next Level Racing Traction Plus System without any additional adapters and the over- and under-steering effects are transferred to the cockpit independently of each other. In flight simulations, this simulates the rudder.
If you still don't have enough, you can put our Force2Motion adapter system "Beast" between the FGT ELITE cockpit and the Traction Plus and get a full-motion cockpit which can be lifted independently at all four corners with the ProSimu actuators. This is an excellent way to feel the textures of the road surfaces, simulate bumps or driving over curbs. And since the system then comes very close to the driving feel of a real vehicle, it is correspondingly difficult to tame - hence the name "The Beast". However, once you have tamed the beast, it rewards you with very realistic effects that come surprisingly close to a real racing car (quote from a real racing driver from the GT3 and rally-cross scene: 90-95% real).
Since the FGT Elite cockpit already has a very high stability, you can possibly do without mounting the F2M longitudinal members in the dynamic (upper) member and thus save valuable kilograms of weight (please try this out, especially if you are at the limit in terms of weight). Because weight is an important issue, just like with a real racing car. Every gram counts and especially if the rider has a few kilos too much on the ribs, we have to be careful not to exceed the total weight of formally 235 kg payload of the Traction Plus System. In any case, one advantage of the FGT Elite is that it does not need an adapter for mounting on the Traction Plus System (the same applies to the Beast). This saves important kilos in any case!
For those who want to do without the Traction Plus System, the "Beast Light" is an attractive new variant: here, the clear effect of over- and understeer is eliminated and the lower (static) beam of the F2M adapter system can be omitted. This gives us a lot of room for improvement in terms of payload and we get a pretty cool combination of seat and cockpit mover that provides ultra-precise feedback for the driver. With the Beast Light we can even use the 150mm or 200mm actuators from ProSimu instead of the 100mm actuators, which will be very interesting for flight simulators.
So it is purely a question of price whether you start small and expand the system bit by bit or start directly with a larger version or even the complete "Beast". Either way: compatibility is assured and you never invest in a "dead end".
If you are not yet convinced, you should definitely make an appointment for a test drive in our showroom and try out the different systems yourself.
And of course, there are alternatives to the Beast based on the FGT Elite, such as the NLR GTTrack or the Fanatec cockpits. And we also have solutions for the RSeat cockpits RS1, S1 and N1 as well as Trakracer TR80/160 and self-made cockpits.

Thanks to its construction with high-quality aluminium profiles, it fulfils several of the requirements we have for a cockpit that is to be modularly expanded into a fully movable motion system:
- High quality and stability
- Accurate fit and a wide range of adjustment possibilities
- Modularity
- Compatibility with the Motion Platform V3 and the Traction Plus System as well as to the ProSimu System
