Rig Finder
Four questions decide the right cockpit rig: how much torque your wheel base makes, what you race, how much room you have, and how firm your pedals are. Answer them and we map you to a rig profile worth shopping for. We do not name a single product here, just the kind of rig that fits how you race.

This is general guidance, not a specific product recommendation. Frame specs vary by maker, so confirm rigidity and mounting before you buy.
How it works
How this tool works
A cockpit rig has one job, staying rigid under the forces your wheel base and pedals produce, so the first question is torque. Under 8 Nm a wheel stand or a light tube frame holds; between 8 and 15 Nm an aluminum profile or a heavy-gauge tube rig keeps the wheel from flexing; above 15 Nm profile becomes the sensible default. What you race sets the seating position and the mounting angles, since a formula rig and a rally rig ask for different pedal and wheel geometry.
Space decides the footprint and whether a folding or compact rig is worth its compromises, and pedal firmness decides the deck. Load cell and hydraulic pedals push hard enough to flex a light pedal tray, so the profile calls for a reinforced deck when you pick them. The result describes frame, footprint, pedal deck and mounting as specs and links the rig categories that match.
Reading the result
How to read your result
Frame type is the decision that costs the most to get wrong, because a flexing rig makes an expensive wheel base feel cheap. Match that line first and be honest about future torque; rigs are bought once and wheel bases upgrade.
Footprint and mounting tell you what will actually fit and what hardware the rig needs to bolt to, such as a front-mount wheel plate or side mounts for a specific base. If a rig you like needs an adapter for your base, count the adapter in the price.
FAQ
Questions people ask
Do I need aluminum profile?+
Above about 15 Nm, or with load cell pedals, profile is the safe choice because it does not flex and can be reconfigured forever. Below that, a quality steel tube rig is rigid enough and looks tidier.
Will a wheel stand work with direct drive?+
With an entry direct-drive base under 8 Nm, a heavy wheel stand can work if the pedals are braced against a wall or the stand. Anything stronger will walk across the floor or flex under braking.
Formula or GT seating position?+
GT if you race a bit of everything; the upright position suits most cars and is easier on the back. A formula position with feet raised is only worth building if you race open-wheel most of the time.
How much room does a rig need?+
Around 1.5 by 0.7 meters for a compact rig, more for profile with a triple-monitor stand. Measure with the seat slid back to your driving position, not to its shortest setting.
