Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0

Master your laps without dominating the room. The Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0 stands rock-solid for direct-drive wheels, yet folds away in seconds when real life calls. Full adjustability for wheel, pedals, and shifter lets a man settle into his proper position the honest way. A clever chair cradle keeps your seat planted under hard braking, while predrilled mounts welcome Thrustmaster, Fanatec, Logitech, and the rest. Upgrade later to a full cockpit with the GTSeat add-on. Serious performance, sensible footprint—no compromises required.

Tip: Don’t stack adjustments. Make one adjustment at a time and test it.

  • Bold face remedies are the go-to fixes for each symptom. You might try those remedies first.
  • This matrix is based on the components in the iRacing Advanced Legends Ford ’34 Coupe. These settings apply to any asphalt oval cars although there are fewer settings on the Legends car.
  • If you are going to make any spring or cross weight adjustments, please see this page first.
