Has a GT1 Evo and sees no reason to need anything more expensive.

positive

Satisfied with their GT1 Evo and R12 after an old steel rig; added extrusion to support the shifter arm.

positive

Their decked-out GT1 Evo is very well thought out and came with plenty of hardware.

positive

Blown away by the finish and quality of their GT1 Evo; incredibly solid with lots of extra hardware.

positiverigidsolid build

Their GT1 Evo's vertical bars make it easy to bolt on a dash, button box and more.

positive

Their V1 GT1 Evo is rock solid even with a Moza R9 at 100%.

positiverigid

Their GT1 Evo with an R9 has been dead silent from the start, even with bass shakers.

positiverigid

Calls their GT1 Evo absolutely the best rig for the money.

positivegreat value

Their older GT1 Evo has no discernible flex with Heusinkveld Sprints and a Simucube 2 Pro.

positiverigid

Quite happy with their GT1 Evo; probably their best upgrade, even beyond G25 to CSL DD.

positive

Coming from an NLR F1-GT, their GT1 Evo is a massive upgrade: rock solid with endless adjustability.

positiverigid

Their new GT1 Evo is incredibly sturdy and great value, arrived fast and complete; some instructions are out of order.

positiverigidgreat value

Loves the GT1 Evo they moved to from a Trophy: compact, packs into a car and far comfier with a real seat.

positive

Their GT1 Evo with a Moza R5 starts rattling after about 20 minutes at the wheelbase mount despite troubleshooting.

negativenoisy

The wheel on their GT1 Evo moves vertically a lot despite tightening the bolts.

negativeflex

Their GT1 Evo is really solid, but they can't get enough seat height for a GT position.

mixedrigid

Very satisfied with their new GT1 Evo; repurposing the included mount made the floating shifter arm rock solid.

positive

Their GT1 Evo v2 is a great cockpit, though the wheelbase crossbeam orientation isn't the most solid.

mixed

After years without issues, their GT1 Evo's pedal plate tied to the wheel column left ClubSport V3 pedals uncomfortably close.

mixed

Their brand new GT1 Evo wobbles noticeably with an Alpha Evo Pro when pushing the wheel up and down.

negativeflex

Owns a GT1 Evo and an ASR4 and likes both, but would pick the ASR4; the GT1 Evo came with lots of spare hardware.

mixed

Owns a GT1 Evo and P1X Pro and found the Evo plenty strong even with a 15 Nm base.

positiverigid

Three years on their GT1 and it's the one part of their rig they've had no desire to upgrade.

positive

Went from a GT1 Evo to a P1X and wishes they'd bought the P1X first.

negative

Their GT1 Evo is plenty sturdy, but adding the front mount later cost half the rig's price.

mixedrigid

Loves the GT1 Evo they bought in 2021, but it lacks a support profile for the shifter arm and US shipping is costly.

positive

Moved from an NLR GTtrack to a GT1 Evo carrying 3DOF motion and VRS gear, and the setup is amazing.

positive

Has owned a Sim-Lab GT1 Evo for a few years; the aluminium extrusion frame is rock solid and very strong.

positiverigidsolid build

Their Sim-Lab GT1 Evo has served them well for over 4 years; they'd pick it over the GT1 Pro, whose angled uprights limit upgrades.

positivesolid build

Loves their Sim-Lab GT1 Evo: incredibly solid, with a pedal tray that won't flex; only complaint is how many add-ons they ended up buying.

positiverigid

Runs a Simagic Alpha EVO 18 Nm and Heusinkveld Sprints on a Sim-Lab GT1 Evo with zero flex.

positiverigid

Never regretted buying their Sim-Lab GT1 Evo; runs it with an R12 and Simnet pedals.

positive

Has two rigs on the Sim-Lab GT1 Evo and they work great, though they replaced the stock wheelbase mounts and braced the shifter arm.

positive

Absolutely zero flex in their Sim-Lab GT1 Evo; they feel even an 8 Nm CSL DD's vibration through the whole rig.

positiverigid

Has had a Sim-Lab GT1 Evo for almost three years and finds it a great rig, with more monitor mount options added since.

positive

Has had a Sim-Lab GT1 Evo for six years, fully kitted out with shifter, DD base, handbrake, car seat and an NLR motion platform.

positivesolid build

Runs an 18 Nm base on a Sim-Lab GT1 Evo with an aftermarket wheel-base plate and finds it sturdy.

positiverigid

Their Sim-Lab GT1 Evo (about £350) is rock solid; add a cheap bucket or breaker car seat and you'll never need anything else.

positiverigidgreat value

Finds the Sim-Lab GT1 Evo rock solid; the pedal plate alone feels as heavy as some entry rigs.

positiverigid

The Sim-Lab GT1 Evo wheel deck does flex a little even fully tightened, as it acts like a lever, but not significantly; they ran a Simucube 2 Pro on it.

mixedflex

Their Sim-Lab GT1 Evo arrived three days after ordering and they were racing in it the same day; the parts were very easy to understand.

positiveeasy setup

Very happy overall with the Sim-Lab GT1 Evo, but its 4040 shifter arm wobbles under a stiff Simagic DS-8X even after adding an extra vertical 8040 brace.

mixedflex

Has zero wobble on their Sim-Lab GT1 Evo shifter arm without any extra bracing.

positiverigid

Really happy with their Sim-Lab GT1 Evo and recommends it, though with very long legs the pedal plate to wheelbase distance is a notch too short.

positive

Moved from a wheel stand to the Sim-Lab GT1 Evo and is loving it; says it makes a world of difference.

positive

Has had a GT1 Evo for over a year, still loves it and is very happy with Sim-Lab.

positive

Runs a rig mixing Sim-Lab and Trak Racer parts and finds Sim-Lab's metal and fit and finish better. The GT1 Evo's shifter mount was weak, attaching at only one point, so they added extra profile pieces and a full side rail.

“Also the GT1-Evo Shifter mount is weak. It only attaches at one point. I ended up buying some extra profile pieces to beef it up”
mixedsolid buildflex

Has a Sim-Lab GT1 Evo, loves it and sees no reason to upgrade to anything else.

positive

Has had the GT1 Evo a few days and is very happy so far; MOZA SRP2 pedals aren't officially supported by its pedal plate but fit securely without drilling.

positive

Moving their Logitech G920 wheel and pedals from a flimsy wheel stand onto a Sim-Lab GT1 Evo frame transformed how they experienced their gear.
