Additionally, the F-GT Elite 160 features a premium, thick-walled profile, and a custom base, contributing to its substantial total weight of 60kg. This custom shape not only adds extra strength but also enhances the aesthetics.
Furthermore, the meticulously designed multi-folded wheel and pedal plates, along with the use of thick carbon steel, eliminate deflection and flex, resulting in a stronger and more rigid platform for attaching high-performance electronics. For instance, the robustness of the F-GT Elite 160 is evident in the FEA (Finite Element Analysis) Tests. The innovative plate designs of the F-GT Elite 160 against the flat steel or aluminum designs commonly found in conventional cockpits.
