Where the SRG1 wins
A published weight. 31 g per pair, the lowest anywhere in this comparison. Trak Racer publishes none — though a single-layer suede-like palm is the construction that keeps a glove thin, so the design points the right way. See lightest sim racing gloves.
A published seam position. Fully external, doubled on the short version except on the thumb back. Trak Racer publishes nothing about seams, so whether a ridge sits inside the palm is unknown — the one gap that matters over a long stint.
Sizes down to XS, against the Trak Racer's S.
A long-cuff version at €59, with its own size chart.
Printed silicone grip on the palm, against a plain suede-like surface.
Where the Trak Racer wins
Half the price. €35 against €69. For anyone unsure whether gloves will change anything on their rig, this is the cheapest reliable way to find out — see do you need sim racing gloves.
Full fabric percentages, both sides. 55 % polyurethane / 45 % polyester in the palm, 80 % polyester / 20 % elastane in the back. Only Syncmesh matches that. The SRG1 names its palm material (AX leather) without percentages.
An adjustable cuff. Elastic plus a separate closure, so the wrist can be tightened. The SRG1 short has no adjustment at all.
Touchscreen on thumb and index. GCOM publishes nothing here.

Price is not the whole story in either direction: at €35 the Trak Racer publishes more fabric detail than the LVRY SIM GLOVE does at US$150.
