CORSAIR® announced it has acquired the assets of Trak Racer, a global designer and manufacturer of sim racing and flight simulation cockpits, seats, monitor stands, motion systems and accessories. Trak Racer joins CORSAIR’s portfolio of brands as a complement to Fanatec, the leading name in sim racing hardware. 

Two Brands, One Complete Rig 

Sim racing is one of the fastest-growing categories in gaming, and Trak Racer significantly expands the range CORSAIR can now offer. Fanatec is centered on the electronics that make a simulator feel real, including wheelbases, steering wheels, pedals and shifters. Trak Racer is centered on the physical simulator, including aluminum and tubular cockpits, racing seats, display and peripheral mounts, and motion and haptic systems. Together, the combined lineup is expected to support a more complete, turnkey sim racing platform. 

Founded in 2008 by Matt Sten, Trak Racer has built a loyal following among sim racing and flight sim fans with products ranging from entry-level rigs to professional-grade cockpits. Both Fanatec and Trak Racer also have long-standing ties to Formula 1, which the two brands will continue to build on together. 

More Places to Find Trak Racer Gear 

Trak Racer has sold primarily direct to consumers online. Joining CORSAIR opens the door for Trak Racer cockpits and simulators to reach more retail shelves and markets worldwide through CORSAIR’s existing retail and distribution network. 

Taking Off Into Flight Simulation 

The acquisition also gives CORSAIR its first real foothold in flight simulation. Trak Racer’s TR550 Flight Simulator provide an established starting point in the category, and the same engineering that goes into a great racing rig, including precise controls, a rock-solid frame, ergonomics, displays, motion and haptics, carries over directly to flight simulators. 

“Trak Racer meaningfully expands Fanatec’s sim racing lineup, bringing an extensive cockpit and accessories portfolio and a passionate, loyal community that we’re excited to welcome to the Fanatec family,” said Thi La, Chief Executive Officer of CORSAIR. 

“Joining CORSAIR and Fanatec gives Trak Racer the platform to reach far more sim racing enthusiasts faster than we could on our own,” said Matt Sten, founder of Trak Racer, who has joined CORSAIR as Chief Technology Officer for Sim Solutions. “CORSAIR’s global distribution and retail infrastructure, paired with Fanatec’s engineering strength and product portfolio, will let us bring Trak Racer products to a much larger audience while staying true to the community that helped build this brand.”
