CORSAIR delves deeper into sim racing products as they present a prototype modular sim racing cockpit at COMPUTEX. CORSAIR did not reveal which brand they now own is responsible for the development of the sim racing cockpit but we can safely assume it would be Fanatec.
Last month, CORSAIR pursued an acquisition of Fanatec, a popular and leading brand of sim racing hardware. The CORSAIR Sim Racing Cockpit to be exhibited is a prototype and is still subject to design changes and improvements.
Modular Sim Racing Cockpit Prototype at COMPUTEX
We were able to visit the CORSAIR booth at COMPUTEX 2024. As expected, the racing sim cockpit prototype featured Fanatec-brand components including the racing wheel and pedals.
Now that CORSAIR has included the Fanatec brand under its company, it would be easy for CORSAIR to offer a complete racing sim and streaming setup with the help of the other divisions under CORSAIR such as ORIGIN PC's pre-built desktops and Elgato's streaming product line.
Press Release
CORSAIR today showcased its exciting new vision for the sim racing community at this year’s Computex expo. Drawing on 30 years of gaming and engineering experience to design a versatile cockpit that promises a new level of quality and features suited for sim racing aficionados and new enthusiasts alike, CORSAIR will leverage its global production and distribution channels to make the hobby more accessible to racers worldwide.
Visitors to CORSAIR's Computex suite experienced first-hand the innovation of a unique prototype modular sim racing cockpit, which met with an overwhelmingly enthusiastic reception. This hybrid racing frame delivers an incredible level of adjustability, easily transitioning the seating position from a semi-reclined open wheel-style – ideal for Formula racing – to a more upright GT-style position, suitable for touring and street racers. This adaptability makes it perfect for enthusiasts who revel in diverse racing experiences.
Constructed with a robust steel frame, the cockpit is engineered to withstand the rigors of intense, high-octane racing. Even while using high-torque wheelbases and heavy-duty pedal sets, the frame’s thoughtful design helps to minimize flex and maximize stability. This ensures an immersive racing experience for users, who will truly feel like they’re in the driver’s seat. The durable build and meticulous design epitomize CORSAIR's commitment to quality and performance in the sim racing domain.
Revved up for the future of sim racing? You won’t have to wait long – CORSAIR is pulling up to the starting line later this year.
