I searched for many hours on the internet for the right driving simulator. When I came across the Playseat F1, I was impressed by the overall appearance of the product. My concern was the price was more than what I had planned on spending. But, as you can see by my 5 star rating in the price/quality category, that concern was alleviated once the product arrived and I could see and feel the quality in person. Definitely worth every penny.

Set up was extremely quick and simple. The instructions included were easy to follow, even for someone who is not mechanically-inclined. They even have a way to hide the wires of the steering wheel and pedals so the setup looks clean and professional.

Sitting in the chair for the first time just put me in the right frame of mind for playing racing games. I honestly felt like I was preparing for a real race. The seating position is surprisingly comfortable, and I've noticed I can play for hours without any discomfort or muscle and back fatigue. Even my lap times began dropping due to the realistic nature of this setup.

I highly recommend this to anyone thinking about a home racing simulator. Racing games are so much more realistic, exciting, and most importantly, fun when using the F1 Playseat. I am now addicted to playing simulator games, solely because of this seat!

This is one great and by far the best racing seat out there, especially if you're a F-I or Indy Car fan. The price was a little high for a game racing seat, but I must say I don't regret it. I asked a lot of questions vi this website before I decided to purchase and I had all many questions answered very quickly. Once ordered I received the seat two days sooner than promised and it wasn't that hard to put together. Some written instructions, as well as the pictures, would have been nice, but as long as you take your time and not rush it, it is pretty simple to put together. It took me about an hour and a half to get it all set up. The seat is very comfortable and since I'm getting to old to race the shifter cart, this Red Bull Racing Seat comes pretty close to satisfying my need for racing.

I drive in the Pacific F2000 series in California . The last few years have had no measurable amounts of rain. 2016 is an El Niño year and the dry race days will be limited. This awesome piece or equipment ( along with iRacing) will allow me to get the seat time I must have in order to stay competitive. I took the measurements out of my car and duplicated them for the sim .. I added an expired harness and it feels like I'm at Laguna Seca

I bought this a couple of weeks ago. I'm building a simulator for a friend who races, and he wanted a realistic seating position for a Formula 3 car, without the expense and hassle of an actual carbon fibre monocoque. This fit the bill perfectly.
It arrived quickly, but initially came with the old pedal plate. A quick email, and the newer, stiffer plate was mailed out at no cost and arrived very quickly.

The whole thing bolts together quite easily. Two people would make it easier but I did it on my own in less than thirty minutes. And it's rigid and doesn't squeak.

I've got it up and running now with an Oculus Rift and Assetto Corsa, along with Fanatec Clubsport wheel and pedals, and frankly it's amazing. Several people at work have tried it, ranging from 5'1" women to 6'7" guys, and everyone fits. The tall guy finds the headrest presses into his back, but once he's driving he doesn't notice.

Getting in and out is impossible to do elegantly - one has to stand over the seat, lower ones buttocks into it, and then wriggle ones legs down towards the pedals. Getting out is perhaps harder still, but I'm sure we'll all get better with practice. But I'm going to find a way to mount a sequential shifter on the right hand side, and that's going to make it much harder still.

Things I'm not so keen on:
The pedal plate is just a bit too flexible for my liking. If it was me, I'd have made the mounting bolts a little further apart to increase the rigidity, or added a support at the back somehow. The newer design of pedal plate is a big help, but it's still not perfect.
The steering wheel mount isn't quite straight, but I've twisted it a little bit so the steering column is pretty much on the centerline.
The screws that hold the seat back into place press against the inside of the padding and push it inwards. But you only notice that during assembly.

The adjustment is great. Steering wheel reach and height are catered for, although the height adjustment can leave it a bit unsupported, so I wouldn't entirely recommend this to big or tall guys. The pedal adjustment is great though, for angle and distance, and once you've got the angle set it's easy to adjust the pedals for smaller or bigger people.

It really needs rubber feet to stop it moving around, and perhaps a little more weight in the nose, as it has a tendency to turn slightly when getting in and out, but it's not a big problem.

For cable management, I've run the wires from the steering base down the support column, and then under the pedals, so they don't catch on feels during entry and egress. A slightly more elegant solution, with tabs for cable ties perhaps, would be a small improvement, or a hope specifically for cables to be run down.

But overall I like it a lot. I'd buy one for myself (I have a Playseat Challenge) if I had a bit more disposable income, and I think my friend will LOVE it when I install it in his house.

Well done Playseat, and thanks for the great customer support.

Highly recommended, with only very minor caveats.

First off i was really surprised how fast it was shipped and delivered less than 72 hours and would have been quicker if it wasn't held up in France due to an issue with FedEx. Seat came securely packaged in 2 boxes with all the hardware, tools and installation instructions. It was easy to put together about 35 minutes by myself. This seat is made of high quality material really solid with multiple adjustments for just about anyone and i was happy that they sent extra screw to hard mount my steering and pedals. My one issues is comfort when i'm playing for an extended period the backrest is a bit too straight but I know complain because the design is replicating what the seating position is like in an F1 machine. I'll be spending most of my time in this seat even when i'm playing non driving games.

I feel like a Formula 1 driver! This seat is amazing. It has everything: looks great, puts you in that real F1 driving position, is comfy (also for hour long races), wheel and pedals are easy to install and sit very sturdy on the frame. I'm using it for almost two weeks now and haven't had a boring moment yet. I am very happy with this new Red Bull Racing chair!!

I was impressed how fast it was delivered, days earlier the predicted time. The quality of the seat is amazing and the RedBull finish gives a touch of realism. I just used it once and still have to make some adjustments to find the optimal wheel and pedal positions.

I got my fiancé the f1 playseat in red for Christmas, he loves competing in online races on gran turismo and F1 now that he can no longer competitively cart due to an injury. He absolutely loves it. It’s enhanced his race craft, the frame is extremely sturdy and solid so there’s no give when on the breaks or accelerator, it’s a fantastic rig. It looks amazing in the red and stands out in his gaming room. It was an investment but 100% worth it. My fiancé has never been comfortable in any of his gaming rigs due to being 6’2” but the adjustability of this rig is just perfect for him. He said it’s as close to being in a real f1 car as he will ever get.

I absolutely love this cockpit. I have friends asking to come over so they can play with it. Even my NASCAR friends. Only problem for me is the curvature of the seatback. It is far too rounded for me as I like to sit with proper posture. I put and a thin pillow behind my back to straighten out my back and I am good to play for hours at a time. It is super sturdy and has no rattle or shaking when playing with aggressive force feedback.

Delivery was much quicker than I expected (delivery arrived multiple days earlier than expected), along with very helpful staff that were able to answer all my queries about the seat before purchase.

This seat paired with an F1 styled steering wheel brings an ultimate sensation of driving an Formula style car.

The fit for me (6'4") is comfortable, only issue I can find with the seat is that the headrest digs a little into the base of my neck.
That aside this seat was relatively easy to put together having all the tools included in the box. My wife and I enjoyed putting it all together and then setting up the adjustable steering wheel and pedal bases to best suit us.

The Red Bull Racing livery on the seat gives the seat a high quality feel and looks great sitting in our living room.

Other thing I would recommend to any new buyers is to get a screen stand, as a monitor stand really adds to the immersion feel & experience.

Summary: This product is great for anyone wanting to experience what it is like to drive a formula car, without having to shell out the cash for an actual car. The fit and finish of the seat is second to none, along with friendly and supportive staff from the Playseat Store willing to assist with any questions about the product.

Rarely do I buy something online that is nicer than I expected, but this seat most certainly is NICE. All metal construction...extremely sturdy. Could not be happier. 2 day shipping to Texas. Trust me when I say that you can't go wrong with this seat.

After staring at this chair for several months intimidated by the price I finally decided to get it after my cheap homemade rig finally broke. I was ready to face disappointment, but I never encountered any of it. The kit fit together perfectly and took me less than 40 minutes from unboxing to racing. The center pillar is perfect for masking wires coming to and from my wheelbase that I used to stumble over in my old rig. Overall my only regret with this is that I didn't get the monitor stand with it.

I've recently graduated from karts to cars (F4 specifically) and needed something much better positioned. This setup is perfect. You can see the European quality immediately upon unpacking, and all the way thru assembly. I am 100% satisfied with this purchase and would recommend the setup to anyone looking for a great Sim seat!
