In my PlaySeat Challenge review, I find out whether it's the best budget sim racing seat/cockpit around. Plus an unboxing-ish, how to attach a shifter and handbrake accessory and other useful details.

PLAYSEAT CHALLENGE CONSOLE COMPATABILITY?
The PlaySeat Challenge is compatible with just about any steering, either using its pre-drilled holes or you could add your own. That includes the Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PS4, PS5 and PC.
WHAT ABOUT COMPATIBLE STEERING WHEELS?
As for steering wheels and pedals you can attach, the Logitech G923, G920, G29 all work as well as anything from Thrustmaster, including the T300S and TS-XW Sparco, and Fanatec (CSL Elite etc). I bought the PlaySeat Challenge myself with my own moneyz.

A Tribe Called Cars The upside of no FIA rules limiting drive time in endurance racing, LOL Funny story... was doing an endurance online one time, had to pee like a racehorse, came in to the pits in PC2 and went to the loo while the car fueled and changed tires. Took a little longer than usual to get my business done, came back and found that the game had disqualified me for being too long in the pits! 🙄😂 5 hours down the toilet, LOL So, pro tip... that Alcantara will retain smells if you pee in your race suit! Give the pre-race coffee a miss on endurance racing 🤪

I just recently purchased and received one of these. I have to say this is wonderful for someone with a small living space because the ability for it to fold up while the pedals and wheel remains attached, is amazing. One thing I will say is that if you have a wider frame (hips) you may find it a bit uncomfortable at first but you will eventually mold into it.

I have had a Playseat Challenge for about a year. I find it is a great solution for a rig that I need to be able to move out of the way from time to time. Much more solid and much more comfortable than most people would think on first viewing. I was was super lucky and got one for $100 Cdn (around 70 Euro) at a local store, but my decision was made not on price, but on sitting in one for the first time.

If you looking budget setup with all of this you should check Logitech ones. Its cheapest way but not the best. Better than Logitech wheels is Thrustmaster even TMX but if you want clutch you need to buy TMX pro, if you want shifter you need to buy Th8a... And its not cheap any more... Cheapest setup with wheel is Wheel stand pro + Logitech, thats all...

Don't know if you care after 6 months, but the pedals are held in place by being held down by the strap to some foam which gives more than enough friction for it to ever move back. Also there is a stopper in the front which keeps it from going forwards when braking. I for one can't press the pedals hard enough to move them even an inch.

I need some help as I am wondering whether a budget solution like this can fix it or not. But then again I am a 165cm tall midget (5'5" for freedom unit) so this might not fit me at all.

If you're using an upright chair as I was before this it will help. You could actually put something under the pedal attachment to angle it to further help the issue but personally I've not needed to although I'm not the same height.

For me this seat is the ONLY choice and it has nothing to do with being on a budget - I have a tiny home and the missus would be chuffed to see a permanent rig taking up space in the house. Takes less than a min to fold it and push it to one corner. It works great for me - 5ft 7, 180lbs. Great that they included many velcro straps making the wires all nice and tidy around the frame. Great value.

Beware the velcro straps will loose grip and the chair WILL collapse depending on your weight. I am 14.5 stone. I have one of these and they're not very strong. Quite Flimsy, the pedals also need a velcro strap to hold them in place. I also had to buy/make two additional velcro and canvas straps to hold the bottom legs to stop them splitting appart. I'm currently looking at alternatives... nice idea and does fold quite well but it does wobble a bit and never feels as if you can throw your wheel around. IF you can pickup one cheap 2nd hand I'd recomend you do rather than fork out full price.

I’ve made wooden P1 clone with less than half price of this. Some pro simracers change very good rigs because they want more stable constructions. Of course this seat is better than nothing but seriosly if you have time and some skills build your own rig even from wood.

The best budget racing seat is just a used car seat bolted on some wooden board where you bolted on your ancient logitech G20 Momo edition racing wheel and shifter. I used the seat out of a Impreza. Also, just because you are in self isolation does not mean you can play games in your underwear and then upload it on KZbin Ben Griffin! What would your mother say about that?

I drive faster with less clothing, you save weight (I wasn't actually naked, don't want anymore rumours). And yeah you're right, an old car seat can work with some DIY goodness. I just don't have the time these days sadly.
