More shops in my country started selling Next Level seats while Playseat barely even sold the Challenge. This definitely looks like a good alternative, maybe little less comfortable than the Challenge but definitely offers more adjustability than the Challenge and the main selling point obviously is how you can store it away easily and it doesn't take a lot of room like "regular" racing simulators. I do need to check the diameter in my room and see if this can go between my bed and my table in a way I can actually sit comfortable and tuck it away easily when not used. Im tired of setting up my G27 on the desk itself and figuring out for like 10 minutes how to plug everything in, and even then im using an office chair so I just keep moving around when driving... Its annoying and definitely hurts performance. The fact you can tuck it away WITH everything still attached to it is really really cool and useful. This seat is perfect for the casual sim racer that doesn't want to spend thousands of dollars on a proper racing rig that he probably gonna use like twice a week or so considering his daily schedule. This will be 100% perfect for me. Also this is by far the best review ive seen for this seat, you show all the positive and negative things about it equally in a way thats easy to understand and not "carrying" around the least important stuff about this product. Thanks!

The comfort is the main concern. It may cost 1000$ and may deal with DDs but if you can't use it prolonged hours (because of lacking comfort) it is a piece of crap that will stay untouched several days/weeks just because of that.
@ImTonyBlair12 жыл бұрын
I found it much easier for moving and assembly to keep the pedals clipped but not screwed in. I use Heusinkveld Ultimates with just the bottom half of the clip between the seat and pedals. It doesn’t change the performance and the pedals stay gripped and easily remove when moving.

@TheDarthGhost3 жыл бұрын
I am just thinking about buying this seat. It seems to offer a lot more than a playseat challenge. Folding is not that important. It is enough to fold the pedals and place the chair somewhere in the corner of the room. What interests me the most is whether the chair is comfortable? I think it has a metal bar when the knees are bent which can be uncomfortable, and the mesh itself on the seat is probably inelastic. Playseat challenge seems to me to be just too small for a 100 kg man, but i heard it is very comfortable.

By using the large strap that is used in packaging, plus the Velcro strap - as per NLR's video instruction - the rig becomes super stable. Doesn't budge an inch.

I personally prefer the Playseat Challenge. The Next Level Racing F-GT Lite is way too wide for me and it makes it look weird. It's really nice that it's so foldable, but it folds into a lower, but wider package than the playseat. I prefer a taller, but smaller package, because that shape is easier to store between a closet and a wall.

I would love the mix of the two. I don't have space, and according to NLR page, even the GT lite is 90cm wide and 176cm long? That's too big. Now, the playseat challenge is much smaller, but it doesn't have a shifter mount (the official one is shit, mods are not cheap and the playseat's price itself is the same as the NLR GT Lite), and you can't hardmount the pedals, which would cause problems for my T-LCM. I really want a foldable a cockpit, but it looks like none of them is an option. :( For now, I stick with my Wheel stand pro.

The stepped adjustments are really large...i just wished that it had Small adjustments... I'm having this issue when using Thrustmaster T300 wheel, when i used it with the G29 it was further away abit and was ok. i think i might drill some new holes in the wheel mount plate of the seat
@micho43243 жыл бұрын
That is my concern also, that maybe the wheel will be too close, or too far away, and the is no adjustments in that part... btw. is it easy to mount the T300? Did you mount pedals on the bottom or on the upper metal thing on the f-gt lite?, cause the pedals of t300 only have 2 holes in the middle for mounting (3 if you dont have brake mode instaled)

Bought this to fold away. First, it is huge. Too big for my space. Second, it is such a pain to fold up, if you are older than 26 you will hurt your back, so I can't see anyone actually folding this out of the way. Also, if you have hard floors you will scratch them up when wrestling with folding, and when tucking away. I'm returning for the smaller, easier to fold Playseat, A small rug to slide it around on, and a vesa monitor mount everyone buys for the stick shifter mountability. If you are a large person (6 ft, 200lbs+) you may want this one. If you have the space and don't plan on folding up, you may want this one.
