Après quelques heures d’Utilisation, je peux vous dire que je suis assez surpris du playseat, très stable une fois installé dedans, se range vraiment facilement . L’avantage est qu’il n’y a pas de barre entre les jambes comme les playseat conventionnels , donc pas de gêne pour freiner du pied gauche . Les vibrations du volant se ressentent même jusque dans le dossier Du siège et c’est plutôt plaisant et rajoute du réalisme. Une finition assez belle pour tout vous dire , l’alcantara est bien cousu , en revanche après quelques heures de jeu un inconfort se fait ressentir (peut-être devrai-je essayer plusieurs réglages du siège et du volant) . Pour finir je devais choisir un playseat pour m’entraîner Pour un concours d’Esport auquel je me suis qualifiée qui se déroulera au moment du grand prix de F1 de France au Castelet, et je devais choisir entre un manque d’argent évident et un manque de place et ce playseat c’est avéré la seule solution à mon problème.

What an incredible find and absolutely awesome service. Ordered on a Monday and was delivered on Wednesday of the same week. Way faster than ordering items from eBay that are shipped from the US and the seat came from Europe to Canada. Arrived double boxed, so shipping was awesome!

For those that are looking for a SIM seat solution that can be put away when done playing, this is what you need. Setup is very quick, simple and was racing before you knew it. Love the seat, very comfortable and the ability to adjust the seat to suit whatever your needs are is fantastic. Takes less time now to setup and put away the game racing gear than before and way more comfortable.

Now time to upgrade my wheel and pedals.....

Keep the shiny side up!

i just can say that it hold all this time like a boss of course after couple hours when i start sweat like a pig the seat material become wet as well but as a high quality material it was still confortable to drive and sit on it of course would be way better driving i think on a leather seat but playseat challange seat make a great job as well and i dont need to be worried about that can something go wrong with seat. so im happy about this your product but i will give 8/10 because no gear box holder and would be more comfortable that all rim would be a little bit wider but if we dont watch in these two options then 10/10 ;)
but its only two problems wich i saw after hard using this seat
the advantages of this seat is
good price
space saver
giving all experiance of simulation
love that i can controle seat how i want in all ways
stability is amazing
all those high quality stickers blowing my mind how they can hold me because my weight is 90kg
and of course i love that high quality material
and all design is really cool so just let you know that is amazing product. thank you.

After using it for 2 weeks every night, I had to write a review for this product.

Some background first. I had to upgrade from the Wheel Stand Pro which I used for 2 years. It did the job, but not quite. Having a separate chair was not comfortable enough for my back. I needed an upgrade. A full rig was out of the question, as our house doesn't have a man-cave. So my wife would not be happy with a rig lying around. I finally settled for the Playseat Challenge and man, still asking why I didn't buy this seat before.

Setting it up was a breeze. But then came the real test. Sitting down in it. I was somehow doubtful it would be stable. So I cautiously got in the seat and WOW! You really feel you got into a race car. I had to adjust a bit the seating position by tweaking a bit the velcro steps, but that's it. And did I already say it's really comfortable? Heck, this seat is more comfortable than my Celica.

Besides saving my back, another advantage I found was that everytime you open up the Playseat Challenge, it always gives you the same setup every single time, as if you're getting in your own car, which is great. Unlike the Wheel Stand Pro, where you have to fiddle around with the levers, so it's not always the same setup.

During sim racing, besides being comfortable, you also don't have a bar in the middle, like the Wheel Stand Pro. which might get in the way (especially if you're using 3 pedals and heal-and-toe).

Stashing it away, which is why I bought this in the first place, is quick and easy. Collapse the chair, strap a velcro band to secure it, wrap the wires around the pedals, collapse the pedals, strap another small velcro band and done - 2 min job flat.

Get yourself a present, and get this chair. You won't regret it.

Around two weeks ago I decided to go for a Thrustmaster wheel along with a Playseat product. Although at first I was skeptical about the rigidity and comfort of the Playseat Challenge, I am actually very surprised with how the seat feels and its stability.

With regards to the wheel, I opted for the T300RS GT, as after reading numerous reviews this seemed like a great wheel at a reasonable price. Accuracy and force feedback feel great!

In short, I recommend this combination (Playseat Challenge + Thrustmaster T300RS GT) to anyone looking to add to their racing experience and willing to spend around 600EUR.

Ever since I got my Playseat Challenge, I was addicted to playing driving games. It was the best racing seat I tried while playing my favorite driving games. Besides all the fun in it, it has all the features that I have imagined on an ideal gamer's seat. The design of it's portability and ease to setup and fold is genius. Plus my experience on purchasing this seat is remarkable, as it was beyond my expectations. The seat was delivered to me in a snap and in great packaging.

Thanks again PLAYSEAT. Here is one of your many very satisfied customer. More power to you and keep up the good work. :)

THE perfect solution for the gamer with a wife that does not want your setup permanently in front of the family TV! I am a traveling sales rep and pack my seat, PS, and G27 into my truck for every trip - take into hotel and don't miss a race. Playseat just as stable and perfect today as when I unpacked it 18 months ago. NO issues, NO complaints, Playseat delivered more than expected (unusual today).

I received my Playseat Challenge today and hooked it up to my Logitech G29 wheel and pedals. The assembly was very intuitive and I was racing on Project Cars 2 in short order. I am 6' tall and weight 250lbs. and was concerned about how I would fit in the Challenge chair. All I can say is "wow." It is extremely comfortable and I am very happy with my purchase. I highly recommend the challenge for those who have a confined space to race in. It is excellent in every way possible. After a great session of racing, my Challenge cockpit folded into an easily stowed package. Thanks Playseat!

My gaming chair used for racing finally wore out and I started looking for a replacement. I needed a seat that was comfortable, and could be stored easily. I involved my wife in the process of determining the best option and we both found the Playseat Challenge appeared to be the best option. I ordered the seat directly from Playseat and the process was easy, fast, and actually fun. I monitored the seats journey via FedEx from start to finish as it traversed the globe. The seat arrived in excellent shape and I was able to assemble it in minutes. The materials are of excellent quality, from the Alcantara seat to the tubular chair frame, wheel platform, and high quality Velcro straps. My racing wheel and pedals attached easily and are very stable. I am able to race for long period of time without fatigued or becoming uncomfortable. An added bonus to the Playseat Challenge is the absence the wheel platform post found on other seat seat ups. There is no post between your legs! Thank you Playseat for providing an alternative to larger more fixed racing simulator chairs. See you at the races.

Back in 1998 I remember playing Gran Turismo for the first time and being blown away. Mostly because finally we have the game most of us idealized a proper racing game should be. In 2002 I got my first racing wheel. The first driving force gt. Which I had bolted to a dinner tray complete with a rocking recliner my grandad gave me. Not exactly ergonomical Lol. Hell, a gated shifter was unheard of. I used to imagine what a racing seat at home would be like. Fast forward too today where sim racing has become sort of a snobs hobby. It's expensive. You guys at playseat have found a very special niche with the challenge. Cost, comfort, reliability & functionality. I think finally, we have the rig most of us idealized a proper home rig should be.

I will begin by saying that I'm very happy with my purchase so far. I have put in probably around 12 hours of racing in it so far.

Delivery was very fast, and the product was packaged very well.
The construction of the seat surprised me by its sturdiness. It was very easy to mount following the included instructions.

However, it is during the installation process that I discovered the few drawbacks.
First, the included velcro strap isn't long enough to hold my Fanatec ClubSport pedals. Thankfully it's nothing a few zip-ties cannot fix.
Next, as some earlier reviews have pointed out - there is no shifter/handbrake mount included. My Fanatec GT3 wheel comes with a mounting system (although a flimsy one) so I was able to mount the shifter this way.
On the plus side, I was able to correctly mount my steering wheel using the attached hardware and pre-drilled holes.

Cable management is tricky, if like me, you want to have everything attached all the time. You have to compensate for the chair folding in terms of cable length. This is not a design flaw - I don't think there would be a way of simplifying this.

In usage, as mentioned earlier, the construction is very sturdy. It does wobble a little bit, especially around the steering wheel, but it doesn't break the gaming experience. This is the price to pay for being able to have a real racing cockpit in a small room.

The folding aspect is great, it takes me around 2 minutes to fold the chair out and be ready for racing.
Storage is easy, but beware of it tipping over if you have heavy steering wheel and pedals - just put it against the wall to solve that problem.

There are two unexpected bonuses due to the design of the seat : First, no central pillar between the legs due to the wheel mounting system. You can move your knees around, like in a real car.
Second, the Vibration and Force Feedback of my Fanatec gear transfers into the light construction of the seat so I'm able to feel the bumps and the RPM of the car in the whole body. It greatly helps the gaming experience.

Once folded out, it looks and feels like a racing seat. It becomes the centerpiece of the room.
Overall it is a great buy for someone without the space for a full-on racing cockpit but who wants to experience the game in a different way.
It is relatively inexpensive for this type of quality. There are a few drawbacks but nothing major (although the shifter/handbrake mount would be welcome).

P.S.: It's much easier to convince your wife of having one because you can easily stow it away!

This is the second Playseat Challenge that has been purchased to provide interactive education and awareness to students and adults regarding the dangers of distracted and impaired driving. The seat is used in conjunction with the One Simple Decision driving simulator from Virtual Driver Interactive.

The Playseat Challenge is a valuable tool that has raised our program to a higher level. The students are intrigued by the seat and are eager to participate. The seat is portable, easy to store and ship to events, and quick to set up.

The order process is efficient and the customer service is focused on meeting the needs of the customer in a timely manner.

I would highly recommend the Playseat Challenge to other organizations.

Just got into sim racing so I'm a new to it. Picked up a wheel and pedals but knew I needed a chair that was sturdy, comfortable and did t take up alot of room but still looked cool. Well the playseat challenge checks all these boxes. Super easy to put together, very comfortable for adults and kids, holds my wheel, pedals and shifter nice and secure and it really enhances the sim racing experience. When I'm not using it folds up in a few seconds and I just put it in my closet. This seat is affordable and nice very happy with this purchase. Would love to try there other products !!!

I had recently purchased Logitech G29 racing wheel from discount and naturally only after few tries I started to want a proper seat too. Since I have a girlfriend who I share the apartment with something very fixed was not an option. Luckily I found Playseat Challenger and ordered it.

Product arrived well packed and the box was way smaller than I expected (even was able to transport it in my Porsche which is rare for any kind of boxes). After opening the box instructions were very clear and assembly of the seat was quick and easy and entirely tools free. My Logitech wheel and pedals also fit perfectly on it.

I have been using the chair for some weeks now almost 5 hours a day and I can tell it is way higher quality for the price than I expected. It is very comfortable to use even long times and haven't shown any sign of being too weakly built on any part. Also it folds away while keeping my pedals and wheel on it so zero extra hassle for taking them on and off either. In the design they seem to have thought of everything since there is even a small pull out side support to stop the seat from falling when you open the wheel part to get into the chair.

It is first racing seat I have no regrets for going for this one. It doesn't feel any worse than my friends more expensive fixed one. Only happens to be cheaper and way more girlfriend friendly.

I did not have high expectations, as it looks like a garden chair on the pictures. But when it arrived I was blown away by the quality and stability. Installation was done in 15 minutes including the adjustments to my size. It's very comfortable, even for longer sessions. The only thing bothering me sometimes is the VR headset being to close to the headrest. But that's a "me" problem.

I'm using this mainly for iracing and my first 3 races produced two wins in this chair (neither me nor playseat claim that you will win races with this ;)

I love the overall idea and design, it folds up great! Just a few little things you should know, there's nothing included for a separate shifter (e.g. G27) which is annoying, and there are metal pieces right around the hip area which dig into me a bit - probably not as big of an issue if you're a little smaller... Recommended overall!

I've only had my seat for a couple days and I'm pretty happy with it. The quality of the seat entirely is really well made. The fabric is very soft and the frame is solid and the velcro strap seem to be some kind of magic holding my 260lbs self without worry. My only grievance with the seat would be that it's a bit small. Not in the sense of usability, but being I read that it has a 330lbs weight limit, I figured it would be a bit wider than it is. I got thick legs and the metal oval rings on the straps for holding it vertical, dig into my legs, Even though I have the seat laying fairly flat. And let me tell you, there is no "leg room", with the swing arm design and the narrowness of the seat, everything is a bit cramped.

Overall though I really like the playseat challenge. It's not without its faults, but for the price this is a really good option. I just wish it was a bit wider. NOTE: there is no shifter placement on this chair, you can get the official shifter mount bar from playseat, but I recommend rigging up your own shifter mount with some clamps and angle iron.

After a long time researching options to upgrade to a proper seat & wheel combo, I took the plunge and bought the Playseat Challenge ... and I do not regret it!
Ordered directly from the Playseat Store, delivered in 4 days. very easy to put together and easy to adjust. I am an average height and weight and the seat is very comfortable. I am using the Playseat Challenge with a Logitech G29, and had no problems installing.

The most amazing thing is how it folds up to a very reasonable size, even with wheel and pedals hardbolted - even my wife is impressed (relieved) that it can be easily stored.

All in all, you just can't go wrong with this. If you are stuck for space it is a no-brainer, and even if you have lots of space it's worth getting too. Now i just need to learn how to drive properly ....

Delivery was not under 48 hours, but as it came to Chicago from Europe for free in 72 you can't argue much. Have spent a few multi hour sessions in the challenge and have been surprised by the comfort. I went with this over the other options because of the fold and store capability. The fun/comfort and enjoyment of the first few days had me looking at the other playseats on offer. If you are 50/50 on getting one of these versus sticking with a controller, take the seat, worth it by all accounts.
