Stiff load-cell and hydraulic brake pedals expose weak cockpit pedal plates right away. If your pedal deck bends even two millimeters under heavy threshold braking, your muscle memory suffers. Advanced SimRacing solved this with the Aluminum Pedal Tray & Heel Rest (Generation 2) ($255.54 net with code SIMRACINGNATION5).
Why Extrusion Crossbars Beat Flat Steel Plates
Instead of bolting individual pedals onto a thin sheet of metal, the Generation 2 Aluminum Pedal Tray ($255.54 net) uses thick T-slot aluminum crossbars flanked by laser-cut steel side wings. You can slide your throttle, brake, and clutch left or right independently along the T-slots and lock them down with zero flex.
For racers who already own an aluminum pedal deck and need better ankle support during long stints, the standalone Advanced Foot Rest ($54.14 net) bolts straight across your pedal profile to raise your heels to the exact height of your pedal faces.

Final Verdict: Dialing In Your Brake Angle
- Mount Vertical Pedals Flat: Keep the Aluminum Pedal Tray ($255.54 net) level or tilted slightly downward when using upright competition pedals so you push horizontally with your calves and quads.
