Corsair, a leading global maker of high-performance gear for gamers, streamers, content creators, PC builders and sim racing enthusiasts, today 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. 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 aluminium 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.
