The Fanatec CSL Cockpit V1.5 is an aluminium and steel racing simulator cockpit for sim racing, compatible with every Fanatec direct drive wheelbase and with load cell brakes, aimed at drivers who want rigidity in a compact, expandable footprint.
Its trapezoid structure combines aluminium tubing and steel brackets optimised for minimum flex, with angled uprights that distribute loads better than a rectangular chassis. It supports Fanatec hardware and most third-party solutions, giving you a stable base to train and compete with a consistent feel lap after lap.
Key features of the Fanatec CSL Cockpit V1.5
- Trapezoid chassis in aluminium tubing and steel brackets, optimised for minimum flex.
- Side mounting ready for every Fanatec Direct Drive base (CSL DD, ClubSport DD/DD+, Podium DD1/DD2).
- Adjustable base plate included, pre-drilled for the bottom mounting of many third-party bases.
- Reinforced pedal plate that withstands load cell brakes without losing consistency.
- Standard GT position, convertible to a karting position by inverting the brackets.
- Base adjustment with 3 heights, continuous angle 0–30° and continuous 80 mm distance adjustment.
- Black and yellow powder-coated finish; hard-floor and carpet feet included.
GT or karting position: it adapts to your style
The CSL Cockpit geometry is built around the GT position, ideal for GT, Oval, Drift and Rally. If you prefer a lower stance with more steering wheel tilt, you can invert the brackets for a more aggressive, immersive karting-style position. The ecosystem expands with dedicated accessories (sold separately): seat and sliders, monitor stand, shifter mount, keyboard tray and a PC or console shelf.
