Next Level Racing today announced their GTLite foldable cockpit designed to support “entry-level Direct Drive wheelbases up to 13 Nm”. While I probably wouldn’t use a DD wheel or high-end pedals on a cockpit like this (and question whether they should be advertising it for DD wheels, honestly, because I’m sure it will flex a lot), I think it’s price ($299 USD, $499 AUD, £279GBP), design and overall look is a great option for entry level users of Force Feedback (non-Direct Drive) users who perhaps have a reason to be conscious of space.
