VPS Fanatec GT Starter: a complete turnkey racing simulator from Velocity Pro Sims

The complete Fanatec ecosystem in one package — cockpit, direct drive, load-cell pedals, screen, PC and audio.

The VPS Fanatec GT Starter is a full-Fanatec turnkey racing simulator built around the ClubSport GT Cockpit — Fanatec's rigid 50 mm steel-tube chassis with tool-less adjustment and a 3-year warranty. We pair it with the CSL DD 8 Nm direct-drive wheelbase, the CSL GT3 steering wheel, CSL Elite load-cell pedals, Fanatec's own monitor stand and PC tray, a 32" 165 Hz monitor, a purpose-built racing PC and Logitech Z906 5.1 sound. One ecosystem, one software suite, one support call.

Why racers choose the VPS Fanatec GT Starter

• One brand, zero compatibility questions. Wheelbase, wheel, pedals, cockpit and stand are all Fanatec and all plug into the same base — the PC sees a single device.
• PlayStation-ready hardware, PC-ready package. The CSL DD and GT3 wheel are console-compatible, so the rig can double as a PS5 setup on family nights.
• Tool-less, family-friendly adjustment. Seat, wheel and pedals adjust in seconds and fit drivers from 5'0" to 6'6".
• Ready to race out of the box. Monitor, PC, audio and cabling are all included. Log in to iRacing and drive.

Upgrade path inside the Fanatec ecosystem

Every Fanatec wheelbase from the CSL DD to the Podium DD bolts into the ClubSport GT Cockpit, and every QR2 wheel and every Fanatec pedal set carries over, so this rig upgrades one part at a time. The cockpit accepts Stage 1 Earthquake tactile haptics; for actuator motion, see our Sim-Lab P1X Pro motion packages, which use aluminum-profile cockpits that accept Vero Motion actuators.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I upgrade to triple screens later?
Yes. Add the Fanatec Trinity Arm expansion set to the included GT Cockpit monitor stand and two more monitors.

Can I move up to a stronger wheelbase later?
