GGD F1 Racing Simulator Package (Stage 1)
The GGD F1 Racing Simulator Package (Stage 1) is the entry point into a proper single-seater simulator, built around an authentic F1 driving position. It pairs the official F1-licensed Playseat Formula Instinct cockpit with a MOZA direct drive control set, so you sit, steer and shift the way a real open-wheel driver does, straight out of the box.
The Formula Instinct puts you in a reclined, feet-up F1 seating position, and the controls match it. A formula-style MOZA KS Pro wheel with magnetic paddle shifters sits ahead of you, driven by a 9Nm R9 V3 direct drive wheelbase, with the two-pedal SRP2 load cell set (throttle and brake) that mirrors how a single-seater is actually driven. There is no shifter or handbrake to clutter the cockpit, just paddles, like the real thing.
This is the base package, and it is fully upgradeable. Everything listed below is your starting point. On this page you can upgrade the wheel, pedals, wheelbase and other components, or add extras, to build the exact F1 simulator you want. Start here, then step up individual parts whenever you are ready.

How the GGD F1 Racing Simulator Package compares to other racing simulator bundles
Most entry rigs seat you upright in a GT position with a generic wheel. That is fine for tin-tops, but it is nothing like an open-wheel car, where you sit low and reclined with your legs stretched out in front of you and shift on paddles alone.
This package is built for that. The official F1-licensed Playseat Formula Instinct recreates a genuine single-seater driving position, the KS Pro wheel gives you formula-style paddle shifting, and the 9Nm direct drive wheelbase feeds it all with clean, detailed feedback. The two-pedal load cell setup completes an authentic open-wheel layout rather than a compromise.
If you mostly race GT and touring cars, the upright Racing Simulator Package (Stage 1) is the better fit. To move up the single-seater line, explore the full F1 Simulator Packages range.
An authentic F1 driving position
The seating is what makes this an F1 simulator rather than a rig with a formula wheel bolted on.
The Playseat Formula Instinct is an official F1-licensed cockpit, with a driving position verified by real F1 drivers. You sit low and reclined with your feet up, exactly as you would in a single-seater, which changes how you feel weight transfer and brake pressure compared with an upright GT rig.
It is also built to fit you. The patented pedal deck adjusts for angle, height and length, the X-Adapt quick-release wheel deck repositions to suit your reach, and the Modufoam padding tailors the seat, across a driver range of 120 to 220cm.
Formula controls: paddle shift and 9Nm direct drive
The controls are set up the way a single-seater is driven, not adapted from a GT layout.
The MOZA KS Pro is a compact formula-style wheel with forged carbon magnetic paddles, a 2.99-inch HD telemetry display and 12 top-mounted RGB rev lights, so you shift on the paddles and read your revs at a glance. Behind it, the R9 V3 delivers 9Nm of direct drive through a 21-bit encoder for clean, detailed feedback.
The SRP2 pedals bring a 100kg load cell brake in a two-pedal, throttle-and-brake layout, matching how an F1 car is driven. There is no clutch or shifter to get in the way, keeping the footwell and cockpit true to a single-seater.
A base package built to grow
Start with a complete, authentic F1 rig and build from there.
Everything here is your starting point. The MOZA ecosystem makes it easy to step up: upgrade the wheelbase for more torque, move to a higher-tier formula wheel, or add pedals and accessories, all tuned in MOZA Pit House. The Playseat cockpit takes it all as you go.
Buy in at the entry point of the F1 line and grow the rig over time, rather than paying for the top tier up front.
Our expert take
“If you want to race open-wheel, the seating position matters more than anything, and the Formula Instinct nails it. We run this package at our Dandenong showroom and the reclined, feet-up position with paddle shift genuinely feels like a single-seater, not a GT rig with a formula wheel. The 9Nm R9 V3 is plenty of direct drive to start with, and it is the ideal entry point into a proper F1 setup.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a genuine F1 driving position?
Yes. The Playseat Formula Instinct is an official F1-licensed cockpit with a reclined, feet-up single-seater position verified by real F1 drivers. It seats you the way an open-wheel car does, not upright like a GT rig.
Why is there no shifter or clutch?
Single-seaters shift on paddles and use two pedals, so this package is set up the same way. The KS Pro wheel's magnetic paddles handle the gears, and the SRP2 pedals give you throttle and brake, keeping the cockpit authentic to F1.
Is 9Nm enough direct drive for F1 sim racing?
Yes. For the vast majority of drivers, 9Nm delivers clear, detailed feedback with no fatigue over long stints. When you want more, the wheelbase is the easy part to upgrade later without changing the rest of the rig.
Will everything work together out of the box?
Yes. The MOZA components run as one ecosystem and tune in MOZA Pit House, and the Playseat Formula Instinct is direct-drive ready with adjustable mounts. You assemble the rig, connect to your PC, and drive.
What platform does this package work on?
This package is built for PC and supports 40-plus titles including iRacing, Assetto Corsa and the F1 series. If you race on console, look for our Formula packages with Xbox or PlayStation in the title, which are configured for those platforms.
Will the cockpit fit me?
The Formula Instinct adjusts to suit drivers from roughly 120 to 220cm, with seat rails, an adjustable pedal deck and a repositionable wheel deck, so you can dial in a comfortable, race-ready position.
Can I change or upgrade the inclusions?
Yes. This is a base package and it is fully upgradeable. On this page you can upgrade the wheel, pedals, wheelbase and other components, or add extras, to build the exact F1 simulator you want.

Dont have much as a refference point except logitech g27 pedals. But its a huge upgrade, and have made a huge difference on specially brake feel. Bought a r12 with a cs v2p wheel from moza too. But the pedals was the biggest upgrade when it comes to improved feel and control.
I really enjoyed all moza gear I’ve bought. From the r5 bundle to the ks wheel, and now the srp2 pedals, they’ve all been great to me. Unfortunately I don’t have enough money to upgrade to a r9 or r12 base so a discount or exchange would be greatly appreciated.
For the price, you will be hard pressed to find better pedals! I found that running 70%angle sensor and 30% load cell sensor seems to work the best! You can pull down the top end of the curve and it will pretty much eliminate lock ups! The only real complaint I have is that I’m afraid I might bend the brake
Pedal arm from pushing so hard! Using a heavier gauge metal for the frame Of the pedal would solve that issue. Also you have to keep an eye on the screw tension for the foot plates as they have come loose on me a few times in the two months I have owned them
A complete change... Much better than the SRP Lite. The load cell makes all the difference!
A great wheel for a great price. Not much I would change myself. Very happy with my purchase
