Sim-Lab P1X Pro Review: Rigidity, Assembly and Options
Watch the source video on YouTube — Sam et Flo.
Short answer: the Sim-Lab P1X Pro remains a reference aluminium-profile cockpit because its rigidity and mounting ecosystem support high-torque Direct Drive and stiff Load Cell pedals. The current TFS frame starts at €789.90 with Front Mount, Fanatec Mount or Wheeldeck, without seat or monitor mount.
Assembly and hands-on observations are attributed to Sam & Flo’s 2023 video. Current variants, prices and compatibility were checked on 30 July 2026.
What the current €789.90 configuration includes
The base variant includes the aluminium structure, selected steering mount, pedal platform, accessory side mounts, seat mounting bolts and adjustable feet. Seat, brackets/sliders and monitor mount depend on the chosen configuration and should not be inferred from the hero image.

What the Sam & Flo build reveals
The video shows the real cost of profile rigidity: a substantial number of fasteners, alignment work and a build better handled with space and patience. Once squared and tightened, the lack of flex is the main result, not a decorative feature.
Choose the steering mount before checkout
Front Mount suits compatible front-mounted bases such as Simucube, Simagic and VRS. The Wheeldeck covers a broader mix of bottom-mounted hardware. Fanatec Mount targets the relevant Fanatec Direct Drive range. Check the exact base, not only the brand.
Pedals, seat and monitor are separate decisions
High-force pedals benefit from the adjustable platform, but ergonomics also depend on seat height, slider travel and heel position. Build the cockpit as a geometry system rather than adding accessories after the frame arrives.
2023 impressions versus the current listing
The source video captures assembly and rigidity well, but prices and bundle contents are historical. The figures in this guide use current TFS variants rather than prices quoted in 2023.
Strengths
- Very high torsional rigidity
- Broad mounting ecosystem
- Modular aluminium profiles
- Supports powerful bases and stiff pedals
Trade-offs
- Longer assembly than a tubular cockpit
- Seat and display can raise total substantially
- Must select the correct base mount
- Large, heavy footprint
Who is it for?
For a permanent cockpit built around mid/high-torque Direct Drive, Load Cell or hydraulic pedals, and future accessories. A GT1 Pro or tubular cockpit may be more efficient where space and frequent relocation matter.TFS verdict
The P1X Pro is expensive as a frame but valuable as infrastructure. Correctly configured, it removes cockpit flex from the upgrade path and leaves room for the hardware around it to change.Configure the Sim-Lab P1X Pro at TFS

FAQ
Is a seat included at €789.90?
No. The current base variants list no seat and no monitor mount.
Which steering mount should I choose?
Match the exact Direct Drive wheel base to Sim-Lab’s compatibility list: front, wheeldeck or Fanatec-specific.
Can it take an integrated triple monitor mount?
Yes, current TFS variants include Integrated Vario single and triple options at higher prices.
