Fanatec GT Cockpit Shifter Mount - Left (Black)
Left-side T-slot shifter and handbrake mount for the ClubSport GT Cockpit, in black
Description
The Fanatec GT Cockpit Shifter Mount - Left (Black) adds a shifter and/or handbrake position on the left side of the ClubSport GT Cockpit, for right-hand-drive layouts or a left-side handbrake.
Design. An 810 mm extruded aluminum tube with three T-slots (M6x1 and 1/4-20 T-nuts) clamps to the cockpit side rail. It comes with a 250 x 127 mm shifter plate and a 230 x 65 mm extension plate for a second device such as a handbrake.
Compatibility. Fanatec shifters; ClubSport Handbrake V1/V1.5 (the Handbrake V2 must mount to the side of a ClubSport Shifter, or needs extra drilled holes to mount alone); most third-party under-mounted shifters and handbrakes, with possible modifications.
More uses. The T-slots also take Elgato Stream Decks, cameras, mics, button boxes and flight sim hardware, and the tube is the required base for the GT Cockpit Keyboard Tray. Left and right kits are sold separately.
Features & highlights
Driving style
The left GT Cockpit Shifter Mount is for ClubSport GT Cockpit owners who want an H-pattern or sequential shifter, a handbrake, or both on the left: right-hand-drive car setups, rally drivers who want the handbrake on the left, or flight-sim users adding a throttle. It suits classic and touring cars in Assetto Corsa, rally in EA SPORTS WRC and Richard Burns Rally, and drift. OC Racing found it stable but overpriced, with slight flex only under extreme side-to-side force; Boosted Media reported significant flex with Fanatec's load cell handbrake.
Best for H-pattern and sequential shifting and light handbrake use on a GT Cockpit; less suited for very hard rally handbrake pulls, where the flex reported by reviewers matters most.
Build quality
An 810 mm extruded aluminum T-slot tube with steel clamps, shifter plate and extension plate, finished in black powder coat. OC Racing calls it stable but overpriced, with slight flex under extreme force; Boosted Media reports significant flex under load with a load cell handbrake and calls it below what the price suggests.
Software
The Shifter Mount is a passive mount and needs no software. The shifter or handbrake you install is configured through the Fanatec App on Windows PC or connects through the wheel base on console.
