During the 2022 Gamescom conference in Cologne, Germany, Next Level Racing unveiled a newly branded option for its GTElite cockpit and their ES1 seat. The GTElite Ford GT Edition and ES1 Ford GT Edition Seat are those products and they’ll be available later this year in October.
The GTElite is the same cockpit we’ve reviewed in the past, just this one comes in an incredible metallic blue colour, often representative of the Ford and Team Fordzilla branding. It includes official Ford GT branding, with the laser-etched white stripes and official logos reminiscent of the famous supercar.
As for the seat, it’s the same bucket-style seat it’s already been selling, but with Ford GT features as well.
We were on hand in person at the reveal, and under the exhibition show lighting, the bright blue colours pop in comparison to the usually subdued sim racing cockpit colours.
“This is something a bit unique,” said Kam Khadem, Head of Brand at Next Level Racing to Traxion.GG.
“We have the carbon grey already and this is another colour that we’re introducing to our range.
“To do laser etching like that, it took some research and development. But we’re excited about it because we really think it makes the cockpit that much more premium and true to the Ford brand.”
