Hobby Gold: an accessible, compact aluminium-profile platform for a first dedicated simulator The SIMGASM Hobby Aluminum Sim Racing Cockpit in Gold uses a 40 × 40 mm main profile and has overall dimensions (W × L × H) of 500 × 1270 × 580 mm (19.7 × 50.0 × 22.8 in). It suits drivers moving away from a desk or temporary wheel stand who want a stable, permanently assembled driving position without the scale of the deeper-profile tiers. Choose the Hobby chassis for its position in the range, then select the wheel mount that matches your wheelbase in the compatibility module. What is included—and what is not Included: the aluminium profiles, structural chassis brackets, the wheel-mount option selected at checkout, assembly hardware and tools, white assembly gloves, the assembly guide, the Core side-profile shifter/handbrake arm. Not included: the seat, seat slider, wheelbase, steering wheel, pedals, shifter or handbrake device, monitor stand, display unless a bundle or option explicitly states otherwise. Add the dual-locking seat slider when adjustable seat positioning is required. When should you move from Hobby to Club? Club moves to a 40 × 80 mm main profile and a rated braking load of 200 kg at the pedal deck, giving a growing direct-drive or load-cell setup more structural reserve. Hobby remains the compact, value-led choice when footprint and entry price matter most. Compare it with the same-finish Club cockpit. Gold finish for a warmer premium centrepiece Gold turns the frame into a deliberate feature of the simulator and gives even a compact build a warmer, more premium visual direction. The finish is strongest when the profile remains the main accent instead of competing with several other bright colours. Black seat, wheel and monitor hardware creates the cleanest contrast. Dark peripherals also make it easier to add one or two small gold details elsewhere without making the finished cockpit feel visually busy. Wheelbase compatibility depends on the selected mount Compatibility is model-specific. Bottom Mount covers supported underside patterns from Logitech, Fanatec, MOZA, Thrustmaster, SIMAGIC, PXN, Simucube, Asetek and VRS. The regular Front Mount covers supported Fanatec, Simucube and VRS front patterns and does not fit any SIMAGIC wheelbase. Side Mount covers supported Fanatec, MOZA and SIMAGIC models, while Asetek Front Mount is dedicated to supported Asetek models.
