5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal Entry Level Racing Cockpit
If you are looking to get an affordable entry level racing rig, this is eactly what you need. Most reviews here tell you what you need to know so here is a pro's and con's list:Pros:1.) Mostly already pre-built out of the box2.) Quick set up time. (10-20 minutes-ish).3.) Seating angle and height are adjustable (not a huge amount, but should be enough to get your comfy racing position sorted).4.) Front arm bar (for steering wheel attachment) swings forward so you can enter and exit easily.5.) Easily collapsable, takes up very little room. I have really quite a small room so this is perfect.6.) It looks awesome (in my opinion).7.) There are plenty of quality features: Strong/neat stitching, breathable mesh for your back area, two cushion like 'bumps' either side of rib cage area to gently keep you in the middle, the branding and colours give a presence.8.) Foot pedals can be moved forwards or backwards very easily with quick release bolts.9.) Foot pedal frame can be easily swapped from angled position or flat on the ground.10.) Affordable price tag for what you get.11.) A well thought out logical design.Cons:1.) The seat is essentially like a suade/leather type material, so there is no cushioning. This starts to become uncomfortable during an extreme session, maybe after about an hour or so this happens. I put a weighted blanket over the whole chair (if needed after an hour) and it is considerably more comfortable without interfering with my racing.2.) Watch out for the (red) clip that clamps the front arm bar (for the steering wheel) as the edge is quite sharp, so be extra careful entering and exiting.3.) The plate that the steering wheel screws onto has a knob that is tightened when you have the correct wheel position. What I found is because the clamp is on a single bar, the plate/wheel can slip downwards around that bar. To remedy this; each time I used the rig, that knob, I just gave that extra bit of muscle, tightening very slightly each time, to a point that I could feel it wasn't going anywhere anymore, no problems with this anymore so far. If you are super strong, make sure not to go overly aggressive as it could potentially break or bend.Some bonus tips if you decide to get one. And also if you managed to read this far:1.) DO NOT over tighten the nuts/bolts, it WILL bend the tubes. All the nuts are nylon lock-nuts, so once they are tightened, they won't work loose.2.) Don't lift or move the rig with the steering wheel. Grab a solid part of the frame.3.) The foot pedal frame swings up into a storage position. This can slam down on the floor, so mind those toes!4) It can be a bit awkward adjusting all the various positions, the first time I managed to collapse the whole rig in on itself. A second pair of hands makes it much easier (and safer).5.) I cannot comment on the manual gear shifter attachment as I do not use it. However, from what I've heard, it does do the job well but can wobble a small amount (from what I've seen from video reviews).What racing wheel/pedals do I use?I use the Thrustmaster T300RS, completely stock with no extras or modifications. It all fits perfectly with this racing rig, no problem.Have I previously owned a steering wheel or racing rig?No this is my first one and I'm very happy with it.How tall am I?About 5 foot 11 inches (but I have short-ish legs).Hope this helps a little bit in making the right choice for you.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very robust, goes well with my Logitech G923 wheel, pedals and gear shifter.
I love this product, I bought this together with my Logitech G923 steering wheel, pedals and gear shifter. Everything mounted on this rig nicely and securely. This rig provides a lot of different driving positions for your needs, from GT racing to F1 racing, you set it how you want it to make you feel comfortable. The rig is quite heavy on its own, so once you have your steering wheel, pedals, shifter etc attached it would be even more heavy to lift. If you are planning to fold it away after each use and need to carry it either up or down the stairs then you better have strong arms as it is not easy to lift and carried around. Anyway, when you have the rig set up as F1 position then it does take up a fair bit of space, the total length of the rig in F1 position is circa 2.5 meter, and if in GT position then it would be around 1.8-2.2 meters depends on your height. Once you have this rig folded up for storage position, it is still around 1 meter by 60cm ish.. so make sure you have a big enough space to store it away, unless you have planned to leave the rig set up all the time. The seat is comfortable with breathing material on your back, so if you have a fan behind the seat you could feel the breeze on your back, the built quality of the rig is good, looks like it will last a very long time with careful use, obviously you can't be too rough with it as you wouldn't do that to your own car anyway. There are a few main features which I chose this "NEXT LEVEL RACING F-GT LITE" over the PLAYSEAT CHALLENGE, 1, this one is stronger, 2, it doesn't lift on hard braking, 3, it comes with gear shifter mount, 4, it is wider so more room for your body and legs. When you choose this rig make sure you know which option to go for, there is F-GT Lite as well as GT Lite, the F-GT obviously could turn to F1 style so you sit very low on the floor, whereas the GT Lite you pretty much feel like you are sitting in a normal car. I can strongly recommend this product, as I mentioned earlier it fits nicely together with my Logitech G923 package, and I know from reading other reviews that you could also use this rig with other major brands like Thrustmaster, Logitech, FANATEC etc etc. Hope you will find this useful.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great foldable cockpit
This is great if you dont have the room for a full on cockpit, this can be placed in either the F1 position or a GT position. Personally i'd have like a little more adjustment for the back rest as if not set perfect the wheel is right on you which if playing Euro turck isnt the end of the world but play something like dirt rally, assetto corsa etc you need the wheel further away. there is slight adjustment on the wheel plate but certainly not enough. Assemble was a little finicky with some parts still having burs of metal so needed sorting before theyd fit in their prospective fittings. Also folding away is quite the gamble i've injured myself twice doing it just by the cockpit collapsing once you loosen it off and catching my skin in the joints.Other than these points once set up in the position you need and sat inside its quite a big unit and comfortable, i play a fair bit of ETS 2 and sit for hours in it with no discomfort at all, also when playing any racing games for a foldable cockpit there really isnt to much flex. I use a Thrustmaster TS-XW with it which has around 6nm torque FFB and feel very little flex when throwing cars around in Dirt Rally Grid Legends F1 22 and the likes.All in all i'd reccomend this if you have limited space but in hindsight i'd have maybe gone for the GT lite over the F-Gt lite as i've only once used the F1 layout and struggleds to get back out of it lol
Pleasantly surprised at quality of this chair
I was not expecting it to be this sturdy . I am a smaller guy but still very strong long lasting construction. Was a little worried at some of reviews saying pieces wouldn’t fit right. Mine went together perfectly. Some pieces were a little work but that’s so they fit right and won’t wobble later after years of use . I love the ability to swing wheel over and hop out anytime. Folds up nice too. Exactly what I was looking for!
Excellent racing light set up
Bought this set up for Christmas. My so. Loves it, takes some time to assemble but once assembled it is good quality and sturdy. My so. Says it is comfortable for playing an hour or so. Functions as expected for the price. I would recommend if someone is looking at a light weight option that does not take up tooMuch space.
Great rig overall.
Very sturdy and comfortable, takes a bit of time to set up, and I wish there were sort of in between adjusting points. But solid quality Can’t beat it for the price
Es una experiencia
Completamente otra experiencia. Me encanta!Lo único malo es que es demasiado grande (ya sabía y aun así lo compré).
Sturdy and good value for the price
Relatively comfortable. Easy to put together and sturdy. The negative is that u can't adjust the seat to sit up so you're basically racing in a formula one style. Folds to minimize space when not used
