How to step into a triple-monitor cockpit effortlessly without climbing over side shifter bars or steering wheels.

ASR Swivel Seat Base & Pivoting Side Arm: Easy Cockpit Entry Guide

Once you surround an aluminum cockpit with triple monitors positioned right behind the steering wheel and a side shifter rail, getting in and out of the seat can feel like climbing through a roll cage. Advanced SimRacing solves cockpit entry with two clever upgrades in the Advanced SimRacing collection, both eligible for 5% off with code SIMRACINGNATION5.

Swing-Out Side Arms and Rotating Seat Bases

For racers who mount a keyboard, mouse tray, or shifter on the left or right side of the seat, the Advanced Pivoting Side Arm ($170.99 net with code SIMRACINGNATION5) hinges open like a door so you can walk straight into your cockpit and swing your controls back into reach once seated.

For commercial centers, accessibility builds, and flagship home rigs, the heavy-duty ASR Swivel Seat Base ($1,662.49 net, save $87.50) lets the entire seat rotate outward for entry and locks down rock-solid when turned forward to race.
