FANATEC CLUBSPORT GT
RACING SIMULATOR COCKPIT
BEFORE YOU START
Congratulations on purchasing your new Fanatec ClubSport GT cockpit.
Please take a moment to carefully read this guide prior to assembling.
CAUTION: Your cockpit is engineered from steel for strength and durability.
Some of the components are heavy. Please excersise caution when handling these parts.
Ensure the chosen build area is clutter free and there is sufficient space for assembly.
Use a soft floor covering such as an old blanket or rug to protect both the finish of your Fanatec
ClubSport GT cockpit and your floor during assembly.
To avoid stripping bolt threads, do not overtighten.
At the end of this guide, you will also find setup tips, suggestions for various driving positions, and
peripheral mounting.
