Corsair acquires Trak Racer for future racing sims

Corsair has acquired the assets of Trak Racer, expanding its sim racing and flight simulation portfolio. Trak Racer, known for manufacturing cockpits, seats, monitor stands, and motion systems, joins Corsair alongside its Fanatec brand to offer a more complete simulator lineup.

While Fanatec centers on electronics like wheelbases, steering wheels, pedals, and shifters, Trak Racer focuses on physical simulator hardware. This includes aluminium and tubular cockpits, racing seats, display mounts, and haptic systems. Founded in 2008 by Matt Sten, the company gives Corsair a broader footprint across sim racing and its first proper entry into flight simulation through products like the TR550 Flight Simulator.

Trak Racer previously sold primarily direct to consumers online. Joining Corsair's network allows its cockpits and accessories to expand onto retail shelves worldwide. Both Fanatec and Trak Racer also maintain long-standing ties to Formula 1, which Corsair plans to continue developing across both brands.

KitGuru says: Combining Fanatec's electronics with Trak Racer's cockpits makes plenty of sense for Corsair as it looks to offer complete, all-in-one sim racing and flight setups. Now that Track Racer product availability will likely improve, are you planning on buying something from the brand?
