Have your eye on a Sim-Lab cockpit and looking to save some money? Good news: with the Sim-Lab promo code SIMMEDIA5, you’ll get 5% off everything on sim-lab.eu. It’s simple—no special boxes to check: just enter the code at checkout and your total will be reduced. I’ll explain where it applies, how much you’ll actually save, and which equipment it’s most worth using it on.

SIMMEDIA5: 5% off the entire Sim-Lab catalog

The concept is simple. SIMMEDIA5 offers a 5% discount on the entire Sim-Lab catalog: cockpits, pedals, steering wheels, monitor stands, and accessories. There’s no minimum cart total listed, and to my knowledge, no categories are excluded. You choose your setup, enter the code, and verify that the discount has been applied before checking out.

Let’s be honest for a second: 5% isn’t exactly a bargain. But the cost of Sim-Lab equipment adds up quickly once you throw in a seat, a monitor stand, or some brackets, and when your total is in the four-digit range, that 5% starts to add up. You might as well take it.

How to Use the Code

• 1. Go to sim-lab.eu and fill your shopping cart (cockpit, seat, accessories, etc.).
• 2. Proceed to checkout.
• 3. In the promo code/discount code field, enter SIMMEDIA5.
• 4. Make sure the total has decreased by 5% before confirming.

That’s it. Prices are in euros, and shipping is available to more than 80 countries.

How Much You Actually Save

To give you an idea, here’s what that 5% looks like for the most common items:

• GT1 Evo (entry-level cockpit, starting at €379): a savings of about €19.
• GT1 Pro (mid-range, starting at €649): about €32.
• Complete rig (cockpit + seat + monitor mount, around 1,000€): about 50€.
• GRID MPX V2 (steering wheel, €1,199): approximately €60.

As you can see, the more expensive the cart, the more attractive the discount becomes. On a simple €30 accessory, the savings are minimal; on a complete rig, they cover a good portion of the shipping costs.

On which hardware is the code really worth it?

Sim-Lab is best known for its ultra-rigid aluminum-profile chassis. If you’re looking to move up in the lineup, that’s where I’d prioritize:

• The GT1 Pro (starting at €649) is the cockpit that everyone agrees on: 80×40 mm profile, very sturdy, and upgradeable. The logical starting point for a serious setup.
• The P1X Pro aims higher, with a thicker profile (160×40 mm at the base) for those who want a sturdy motor with a large direct-drive base.
• As for peripherals, the XP1 Loadcell (load cell brake), the Vario screen mount (starting at €149), or the SQ1 are great options to add to your cart to maximize your savings.

Combine your purchases into a single order instead of placing multiple small ones, and the 5% discount will apply to the entire order.

Who is Sim-Lab?

For those who aren’t familiar with it: Sim-Lab is a Dutch manufacturer specializing in sim racing equipment, with a mission to make motorsports accessible. The brand made a name for itself with its aluminum cockpits before expanding into pedals, steering wheels, and accessories. This is equipment you’ll keep for a long time, which is why it’s worth taking the time to choose your first purchase carefully.

My verdict

The Sim-Lab promo code SIMMEDIA5 won’t break the bank, but it’s a good habit to get into: 5% off sitewide is always a bonus, especially on a cockpit or a complete rig where the bill can really add up. Fill up your cart, enter SIMMEDIA5, check the total, and enjoy the savings.
