The Next Level Racing HF8 Haptic Feedback Gaming Pad is a cutting-edge piece of gaming equipment that brings a whole new level of immersion to your racing, flight, and FPS gaming experiences. With eight localized haptic motors strategically placed throughout the pad, the HF8 allows you to feel every road effect, turbulence, and explosion within the game, making your gaming experience more realistic and engaging than ever before.
The HF8 Gaming Pad is designed to be easily placed on your sim racing seat, flight seat, or gaming chair, and features adjustable straps to ensure a secure and comfortable fit. Whether you're a serious esports competitor, casual gamer, or even just want to enhance your movies or music listening, the HF8 Gaming Pad is an excellent and affordable asset to add to your collection.
One of the great features of the HF8 is its compatibility with both PC and console gaming systems. The pad connects directly to your PC via USB for fast, low latency feedback through the eight localized haptic motors, and to your console/audio devices via a 3.5mm audio jack. Console users will feel haptic feedback through all eight vibration zones simultaneously, and PC users can download and install the Next Level Racing Haptic Feedback Software (HFS) to interact with a growing list of racing and flight titles.
The HFS software makes it easy to customize your haptic experience with the HF8 Gaming Pad, allowing you to control each motor independently and create your own haptic profiles for each gaming title. The choice is yours!
In addition, the Next Level Racing team will be continuously updating HFS software with new gaming titles as they are released. If your game title is not listed, you can always reach out to the support team at support@nexlevelracing.com.

Next Level Racing® have worked closely with not only professional drivers, but the world's fastest eSports drivers to make sure their products and designs exceed user expectation. Visa® Vegas E-Race finalist David Greco has been using the previous F1GT cockpit as his cockpit of choice and gave feedback on the new F-GT:
“I have been using the F-GT’s previous version for over a year now, and it did not need many improvements at all. The only important one was that, it was hard to find a position and setup that would 100% suit me, but with the new sliding holes and 3 more level of angle adjustments for the wheel, pedals and seat position. This new version fixes even this problem for me. Also I think in Matte it looks better, and the optional lockable wheel castors are a nice extra feature to allow to shift the rig around easily.”
Professional Rally Driver Ricardo Costa Jnr. races in the previous version of the cockpit also:
"From the moment I started to assemble this I knew it would be an awesome cockpit…. This thing is a truly astonishing piece of simulation"
A new electroplated Matte Black finish on the frame as well as all nuts, bolts and washers changed to black for a stealth look. An adaptor included for the Buttkicker® Gamer 2, three more levels of angle adjustment as well as new sliding holes for faster adjustment of wheel, pedals and shifter positions. The cockpit also comes with eight height adjustable feet that screw into the frame along with being compatible with the Next Level Racing® Lockable Wheel Castors (available separately).
The revolutionary design of the Next Level Racing® F-GT ensures a rigid and solid cockpit but also many adjustments meaning you have your wheel, pedals and gear shifter in the best position to suit you as the driver.
Available in August 2018
