LOS ANGELES | August 5, 2026 – Corsair Gaming, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRSR) (“Corsair” or the “Company”), a leading global provider and innovator of high-performance products for gamers, streamers, content-creators, gaming PC builders, and sim racing enthusiasts, today announced that it has acquired all the assets of Trak Racer, a global designer and manufacturer of premium racing and flight-simulation cockpits, frames, seats, monitor stands, motion systems and accessories.
Drake Star acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Trak Racer on this transaction.
The acquisition reflects Corsair's continued strategy of scaling its Gamer and Creator Peripherals segment into adjacent, enthusiast categories within the broader esports market. Sim racing represents one of the fastest-growing segments in the category, and Trak Racer's addition builds meaningfully on Corsair's existing Fanatec platform.
Founded in 2008 by Matt Sten, Trak Racer has built a loyal global following for its simulator cockpits, racing seats, and licensed and co-branded racing peripherals, with a product range spanning entry-level to premium and professional segments. The brand's portfolio complements Fanatec's existing sim racing technology, enabling a more complete, turnkey sim racing platform for consumers and professional racers alike.
“This acquisition is a continuation of our strategy to scale our Gamer and Creator Peripherals segment into a much larger addressable market, with attractive margin expansion opportunities,” said Thi La, Chief Executive Officer of Corsair. “Trak Racer meaningfully expands Fanatec's sim racing ecosystem, bringing an extensive SIM cockpit and accessories product portfolio, and a strong direct-to-consumer revenue mix that we believe will scale well across our global distribution network.”
“Joining Corsair and Fanatec gives Trak Racer the platform to reach far more SIM 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.”
“We're excited to be joining forces with Corsair to become the global leader in sim racing,” said Peter Hosking, CEO of Trak Racer. “Michael Metzger and the Drake Star team were excellent partners throughout this highly competitive process. Their deep knowledge of the gaming and sim racing sectors, extensive industry relationships, and strong transaction execution were critical in making this extraordinary result possible.”
Michael Metzger, Managing Partner at Drake Star, commented: “Trak Racer has built one of the most respected and fastest-growing brands in sim racing, and its combination with Corsair and Fanatec creates a complete, best-in-class platform spanning both racing and flight simulation. It was a privilege to advise on this outstanding transaction and congratulations to both teams on a highly strategic deal.”
