Playseat® Evolution PRO - Red Bull Racing eSports

Product Information

The seat itself is constructed from reinforced fibreglass to give you a rigid construction. While the seat does come with a head cushion, there is no additional padding on the inside of the seat. I love F1, otherwise why would I stay up and watch every single race, record a podcast after each one and spend hours racing F1 2020 on the Xbox? I’ve upped the game now, with something very special – the Playseat F1 Ultimate Edition race seat. When building a sim racing setup specifically for F1, I would recommend either Fanatec or MOZA Racing. Both of these brands have a range of wheel bases covering different strengths and different price ranges. And they both have F1-style steering wheels. Fanatec Often, these designs have been built using CAD software allowing for the utmost precision when lining up fixings and mounting peripherals. The wheel plate is pre-drilled to allow you to mount almost any sim racing wheel including direct drive racing wheels from brands such as Fanatec and Logitech.

It’s a high price to pay, but you’re getting an extremely high quality seat with the Playseat F1 Ultimate Edition. Pair it with a quality wheel and pedals (we chose Thrustmaster for that), and you’re giving yourself the best chance of a good lap time. He produces and hosts two popular podcasts, EFTM and Two Blokes Talking Tech. He also appears on over 50 radio stations across Australia weekly, and is the resident Tech Expert on Channel 9’s Today Show each day and appears regularly on A Current Affair. Open Sim Racing offers plans and blueprints for a variety of different sim rig designs, utilising a range of different construction methods.

View the best wheels At the end of the sim rig, the pedal mounting solution doesn’t feature a traditional pedal plate. Instead, Treq has opted for using various strips of aluminium profile to give you greater control over how you mount your sim racing pedals.However, if we were to choose a sim racing pedal set for our new F1 sim racing setup, we would look towards Heusinkveld. Both the wheel and pedal mounts have large levels of adjustment in them by default. Take the time to really nut that down to your favored position and this will be amazing. But we have to include it in this guide, to show you just what the professionals are using in their own sim racing setups. The R9 produces 9Nm of torque from its direct drive motor. It features a much smaller form factor than the R21 as it uses the exterior casing as heat sync allowing it to remove internal fans. Fanatec has released multiple versions of their Formula wheel over the years, with the V2.5X being the newest of the bunch.

The NLR ES1 sim racing seat is a fully custom moulded all-in-one racing seat. It features a rigid construction with high-quality PU molded foam suede cushions covering the inside to ensure comfort while sim racing. The pedals are all constructed from laser-cut steel ensuring they are as sturdy as needs to be. And the brake pedal can withstand up to 65kg or 143lbs of braking force thanks to its 120kg load cell. Treq might not be the first name you think of when it comes to sim racing equipment, but they do offer a range of sim rigs and accessories. There are plenty of racing seats out there you can buy for your Xbox, PS or PC gaming needs. Just as there are plenty of wheels. When I first sat in the “standard” Playseat F1 I knew it was perfect for me – I love F1, so I wanted the low down, feet up seating position of an F1 driver.Overall, I’ve used a lot of Simulator seats. For those who love all forms of motorsport it could be the Playseat F1 Ultimate Edition isn’t the right position. Personally, I’m most comfortable in this seating position no matter what the sport.

Your seating position is the same height, but the wheel in front of you is far more adjustable, and the pedal position sits much higher again with additional adjustments too. Setting up the Playseat F1 Ultimate Edition The first thing you’ll notice is that the pedal plate is raised up and actually floating off the ground. This design choice is designed to emulate the reclined seating position that F1 sim racers are aiming for. The Playseat® Evolution PRO - Red Bull Racing Esports is very comfortable, stable and highly adjustable, to ensure the most fun racing experience at home! It can be used by adults and children, so all your friends and family members can enjoy this chair. Thanks to its unique foldable design, it uses little space when not in use. Your wheel base is the main hub of your electronic setup and will dictate what other peripherals you can use. If you are sim racing on a console, all additional peripherals will have to run through your wheel base.If you are racing on PC however, you have a much wider range of equipment that you can use. You racing wheel, pedals and shifters can all be separately connected to your PC allowing you to mix and match peripherals from different brands.
