Sim-Lab has updated the Sim-Lab Inverted Pedal Rack V2 announced, an updated accessory for sim racers who want to mount their pedals in a suspended, GT-like position. Based on feedback from the community, the update focuses on three things: a neater design, improved material selection and wider compatibility with the latest Sim-Lab cockpits.
For sim racers who prefer to emulate a more natural seating position rather than pure race car ergonomics, this is an interesting addition. Especially since Sim-Lab not only makes the construction stiffer and more adjustable, but also directly includes a whole plate for extra support during braking.

The Sim-Lab Inverted Pedal Rack V2 is an updated pedal rack accessory for a GT-style pedal position. It focuses on comfort, adjustability and compatibility with current Sim-Lab cockpits. Priced at €199, this product is mainly aimed at sim racers who want their rig to feel more like an everyday car or GT car, without compromising on sturdiness.
What's new with the Inverted Pedal Rack V2?
The name kind of says it all: this is not an entirely new concept, but a further development of the existing inverted pedal rack. Sim-Lab says that the V2 version has been redesigned based on feedback from the community. This mainly addressed the design, choice of materials and integration with the current cockpit line.
This is relevant. Especially since accessories like these often run with a product portfolio for years, while cockpits and montagem capabilities change in the meantime. With this V2, Sim-Lab seems to bring the pedal rack back neatly in line with the current generation of rigs.
Compatibility with Sim-Lab cockpits
The Sim-Lab Inverted Pedal Rack V2 is designed for sim racers who want to mount their pedals in a suspended, GT-style position. This updated V2 version is more in line with Sim-Lab's current design style and choice of materials and is fully integrated with the latest generations of the GT1 Evo, GT1 Pro, P1X Pro and P1X Ultimate. At the same time, the basics remain: a rigid, adjustable construction with wide compatibility for different pedal sets.
In doing so, Sim-Lab is clearly targeting users within its current proprietary ecosystem. This is logical, but also good to know upfront: this is mainly an upgrade for existing or new Sim-Lab cockpit owners, not necessarily a universal solution for every aluminium profile rig.
Inverted pedal setup for a natural GT seating position
An inverted pedal setup suspends the pedals, so to speak, as in many street cars and GT cars. As a result, the position immediately feels more familiar to many users than a flat or more formulaic pedal setup.
Especially for longer racing sessions, this can be nice. Not because inverted is automatically better, but because comfort and recognition play a bigger role for many sim racers than exactly replicated race car ergonomics. And that is exactly what this product capitalises on.
Rigid construction and adjustability
According to Sim-Lab, the construction should be stiff enough for consistent and confident braking. This is perhaps the most important point about this type of accessory. An inverted pedal rack sounds attractive, but falls right through if there is flex in the construction as soon as you apply the brakes really hard.
Sim-Lab therefore emphasises not only the adjustability, but also the frame's rigidity. The included heel plate should additionally provide extra support under braking loads. For those who like to adjust their pedal position even further, there is additionally support for the optional pedal slider.
More comfort and a realistic daily driver feel
One of Sim-Lab's most striking claims is that this accessory allows you to better recreate the feel of your everyday car. It sounds simple, but I can understand this angle. Not everyone is looking for the same uncompromising racing position in their cockpit. Sometimes, on the contrary, you want a setup that feels more comfortable, intuitive and less tiring.
Therein lies also directly the strength of this product. It is not an accessory that aims for spectacle, but ergonomics. Less extreme. More natural. And for a large proportion of GT drivers, that is probably exactly the point.
Price of the Sim-Lab Inverted Pedal Rack V2
The Sim-Lab Inverted Pedal Rack V2 has a recommended retail price of €199. That does not make it an impulse accessory, but it is a relatively manageable upgrade for those who want to seriously adjust their seating position and pedal feel without buying a completely new cockpit right away.
The value of this product is therefore mainly in its combination of comfort, adjustability and ecosystem fit. If you already have a compatible Sim-Lab rig and miss that suspended pedal setup, then this is a logical extension. If you have little need for it, then it is mostly a nice-to-have and not a necessary upgrade.
A smart update
On paper, this is a smart update of an existing accessory. No overly big promises, but rather a clear focus on comfort, compatibility and refinement. To be honest, I think that is also the right approach for this kind of product. The real added value will ultimately have to be seen in practice, especially with heavier brake inputs and different pedal sets. But if you've been waiting for an updated inverted solution within the Sim-Lab ecosystem for some time, this is one to take a serious look at.
Sim-Lab Inverted Pedal Rack V2 as GT upgrade
The Sim-Lab Inverted Pedal Rack V2 is of particular interest to sim racers with a recent Sim-Lab cockpit who seek a more comfortable and natural GT-style pedal position. The combination of community-driven updates, wider cockpit compatibility, rigid construction and included heel plate makes this a focused but sensible upgrade.
