Asetek presents a high-end racing rig at an affordable price

A new offering in the affordable high-end segment

Asetek, known for its high-end direct drive bases and pedalboards, announces the forthcoming arrival of a complete rig under the €1,000 mark. This chassis is aimed at demanding sim racers who want a robust, versatile and upgradeable solution, without going to extreme extremes of budget.

This model fills a gap between the often limited entry-level chassis and the more expensive professional solutions.

Rigid, adjustable design

The rig is based on a type 8020 extruded aluminum structure, widely used for custom configurations. It offers excellent rigidity, compatibility with all mounting standards, and great modularity.

The driver's station is adjustable to suit different racing styles: GT seating, F1 or rally position. It can accommodate steering wheels and pedals from all the major brands (Asetek, Fanatec, Logitech, Thrustmaster).

The rig will be offered in several possible configurations: chassis only, chassis with screen support, or complete pack with seat.

Simplified assembly

Unlike other profile rigs, this one is designed to be accessible. Assembly is claimed to take less than 30 minutes, with detailed instructions and pre-assembled components. A solution for those who don't want to spend hours assembling.

Options are provided to accommodate additional peripherals: handbrake, shifter, button box or shifter modules.

Price positioning

The advertised price is around €950 to €999, depending on options. A competitive price, especially considering the system's finish, compatibility and flexibility.

This rig could become a benchmark in the "accessible mid-high range" segment, offering a solid base for upgradeable setups.

Conclusion

With this rig, Asetek broadens its offering and targets a new category of sim racers. This model is a serious solution for those who want to take their installation to the next level without blowing their budget. Reliability, compatibility and ergonomics are at the heart of this product designed to last.
