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.

This chair is the perfect mix of affordability and quality. It's definitely entry level but it doesn't make any huge compromises in the design and quality of materials. It is a bit slim on the upper legs for me and a little tricky to get in and out of. However, once in the chair it's quite easy to get comfortable for a decent length of time before needing a break. I also appreciate how easy it is to fold up for storage. This is a solid option for any person interested in sim racing.

After a few weeks of using my Playseat Challenge I have started to think about upgrading already because of how much more I enjoy driving in an actual racing position.

Pros:
- Easy to Setup
- Easy to Use
- Very fun to use
- Very adjustable to fit your needs

Cons:
- A little bit harder to get in and out of than a permanent setup.
- Under heavy breaking I have had the front of the chair come off the ground at times
- On long stints I think a permanent seat would be considerably more comfortable

Overall I would highly recommend the Playseat Challenge to everyone. I have approached Sim Racing with a "buy something reasonable to start and see where it goes." Over time I will probably build a permanent structure and will consider some of the playseat permanent setups considering how well built this was.

I've had my Playseat Challenge for about a month now and it's been a great experience for someone dipping their toes into the video game racing world.

It's incredibly comfortable and sturdy and really gets you into the racing frame of mind. I use it with a Thrustmaster T300RS GT and the thing is rock solid. You look at it and you think it's just a fancy looking lawn chair, but this thing is built with quality. A 2 hour session will fly by with zero discomfort. It's especially nice if you don't have a dedicated spot to have a rig setup all the time. I can fold the chair up and slide it into a closet with minimal effort.

If you're looking to upgrade from a wheel clamped to a desk and an office chair look no further. It's the perfect entry into having a racing rig.

Had a racing wheel and pedals back 20 years ago as a kid and had to get a table and pull up a chair like a peasant. Recently decided to buy another wheel to do some racing sims and was blown away by a seat that could fold up and use in a small apartment. Very affordable price and amazing quality. The wheel and pedals can fold right into it so no need for disassembly.

I tried this at my friends house in Serbia and the week I came back to the U.S. I ordered one of myself. This seat is probably the cheapest high quality seat you can get. The metal feels nice and thick and sturdy, the Velcro sticks extremely well and doesn't make a bunch of noise or move out of position. The seat material feels very nice and breathable, and it's not difficult to sit in for hours. Overall, all of the materials used feel very high quality and like they could last for years. Shipping from the Netherlands to America only took a week. The chair folds up into a low flat profile which is perfect to quickly store it away. 10/10 chair, 10/10 material choice, 10/10 design, and 10/10 company

I'm not a huge gamer but have been playing Forza Horizon 5... the seat has made a HUGE difference in how much I enjoy the game! I look forward to my weekends.

There are a couple things I really like about the seat.

1. It is amazingly comfortable to sit and play in, its easy to personalize and once you set it to your needs it is very comfortable.

2. Great quality, very stable. Feels really stable when you're using it. I'm really impressed considering this is the entry level model. Love the quality.

3. Foldable - I didnt realise how compact it would be. Was all prepared to dedicate some sapce to keep the seat when its not in use, but it folds into a TINY profile

4. And lastly, another bonus for me... didnt realise I would be able to leave the pedals and steering wheel connected to the chair and it would STILL fold into this small package to store! I LOVE that I dont have to assemble and disassemble the seat every time. I didnt realise how big it a hassle it was for me to mount and dismount the steering wheel to my desk each time I wanted to play.

So.. love the seat. Can't wait to justify upgrading!

I bought the Playseat challenge for use with my Fanatec CSL DD. It's perfect for my apartment size and I'm really happy at how well it's built and how comfortable it is for the price point. I even played regular games sitting on the playseat because of how comfy it was. I was initially apprehensive about whether it would be suitable for a Direct Drive wheel. But, overall it's been great. I'm not sure how it would fare with stronger wheels. The only complaint I have is if the setup is very front heavy, then it can easily tip over even with the lightest of touches. I would suggest adding some counter weights if you're using the seat with a wheel like the CSL DD. At the moment, I've placed my dumbbells on the rear rod(?) so it doesn't tip over :).

This is a world class gaming chair! The fact that it's so comfortable, so adjustable for different heights and it can fold away WITH the pedals and wheel still attached is a feat of modern engineering. For the price point, there is no rival on quality, performance and comfort

The only thing buyers should be aware of is that if you have large legs, the metal loops that hold the arm straps dig into your legs making it uncomfortable to sit for any length of time. I used some of the protective foam and rubber bands that came with the packaging to cover the metal clips and it works perfectly so I'm able to sit comfortably.

The conclusion is there's nothing that should prevent you from buying this chair because it comes with everything you could want from a race gaming chair!

*This review is a story of an individual experience.

Somewhere in a galaxy, far, far away.....an item later identified as PS5 was discovered. It offered progression of the known.

Deep within it's layers, a parchment was found containing visual depictions that somehow serve to enhance the experience of the PS5 discovery.

Meanwhile, somewhere close to the Adriatic Sea, a young boy was juggling emotions and his thoughts on Christmas, gazing up at the afternoon sky, he sketched something on a piece of paper, tucking it in his back pocket.

Later, he caught up with his father, retelling the events that permeated his day.

The father compelled by what he heard recalled information that passed through the processing chambers of thought attributable only to full grown members of their species.

From an initial scribble amidst thoughts of an afternoon day, current facts occurring simultaneously, then being discovered thousands of miles away.

The quest was on, the challenge...to retrieve and manifest a unique piece of technology that would enhance the process of discovery and bring a new dimension of life, to the idle town Sibenik.

Several communications were sent out to scouts camped on the fringe of Europa with instruction to retrieve the object that would later be known as "Playseat Challenge".

The emphasis of the story is on the bond between young and matured members of our society and how they can combine their innate abilities to bring about, manifest and spread JOY - a highly contagious state that can initiate and spread, just from of an emotion emitted by pure, untainted frequency of a young fulfilled soul.

Epilogue: JOY turned to levels of pandemic, infecting all humanity.

They all played, seated comfortably connected, resolving challenges that plagued our existence from early times.

A new world dawned, a new journey began with promise of hope and prosperity. Abundance of discovery and experiences never witnessed began occurring in random on all fronts of our world.

Merry Christmas son, enjoy the RIDE!

Love,

Dad xoxox

Bought this product as a storable solution for the living room and it really exceeded my expectations, especially for the price. With wheel and pedals the whole thing is still light weight and extremely easy to fold up and move. It is way more stable than I thought it would be. I wouldn't jump to putting a direct drive wheel base on it, but with more entry level kit, it is perfect. Adjusting the seat does take a little work, but it is easy to do and once it's adjusted, you could sleep in it. I can only give 4 stats for design due to the included pedals strap being too short. I managed to get it around my Thrustmaster T3PA, but I had to go around the very bottom on the heel plate and still had to muscle the strap around for the ends to comfortably overlap. If the seat included a 2nd longer strap to accommodate 3 pedals it would have been 5 stars.

Le Playseat, une affaire de fessier, mais pas que...

Accrocher son volant sur un bureau et conduire comme dans un camion sur une chaise roulante à ressorts, ça n'a absolument rien de pratique ni de confortable. C'est donc souvent vers un siège de course que nous nous tournons pour une conduite plus réaliste. Cependant, un fauteuil de course a un coût, c'est encombrant et parfois incompatible avec une vie de couple.


La simulation automobile dans les jeux vidéos devrait être un plaisir où l'Homme ne fait plus qu'un avec son V8 et non avec son bureau. En général les pilotes en herbe délaissent les manettes pour une combinaison volant + pédalier, voire levier de vitesse. La différence est flagrante, pour peu que votre choix ait porté sur un bon modèle de volant à retour de force. Il faut dorénavant faire faire corps avec la voiture, passer nous-mêmes les vitesses, subir physiquement les aspérités du bitume et les caprices de la météo. Tout comme les gunstocks en réalité virtuelle, les sièges de simulation ajoutent de l'immersion aux jeux.

Cependant, pour les joueurs les plus aguerris, ou trouvant la posture bureau peu conventionnelle, il existe des sièges, prévus entre autres pour la compétition, avec une assise réaliste et confortable. Il en existe sur le marché de toutes les formes et surtout à tous les prix. Ils sont en général composés d'un siège baquet, une plateforme pour fixer le volant, un support pour le pédalier et, suivant le modèle, une plateforme pour le levier de vitesse, voire un support pour écran. Plus nous montons en gamme, meilleur est le confort, les réglages sont plus fins et certains playseat possèdent carrément des vérins !


Le montage, un jeu d'enfant

Dans le carton très compact mesurant 80 x 60 x 20 cm pour 9 kg, nous retrouvons l'ensemble des pièces dédiées au montage. Le tout est emballé avec soin dans du papier bulle et les pièces sont maintenues et protégées par des mousses et élastiques. Ne cherchez pas l'entourloupe sur les photos, il y a précisément trois pièces/blocs dans la boîte. L'un étant le siège baquet, l'autre la structure intégrale du siège et le dernier, le support pour fixer le volant. Pour le reste, nous retrouvons une documentation d'installation, deux clés Allen, quatre vis et des bandes velcro. Rien de plus, rien de moins.

Le montage est un jeu d'enfant. Le carton contient de nombreux velcros qui nous permettent de nous affranchir des vis (pour les réglages du siège et la fixation des câbles), si ce n'est pour installer le volant sur sa plateforme préperforée, et c'est une bonne chose. Le montage, très simple et prend une dizaine de minutes, sans se presser. Dans un premier temps, il s'agit de déplier la structure en acier afin de distinguer la partie assise de la partie dédiée au pédalier. Cette dernière section peut être détachée du reste au besoin. Ensuite ,c'est au tour du dossier d'être installé. En alcantara aux coutures impeccables, il est renforcé des épaules à la tête et vient s'enfiler sur la structure à l'aide de guides. Sa jupe, composée de velcro ici encore, vient embrasser l'assise. Pour le reste, le pédalier se fixe contre une butée et est tenu à la structure avec une sangle velcro. La plateforme du volant, elle, se fixe sur le prolongement des accoudoirs en charnière et peut être verrouillée.

Un siège réglable et confortable

Si pour vous, l'ensemble avec son look de chaise longue semble tenir par magie et ne vous inspire pas confiance, c'est que vous ne vous êtes pas encore installé. N'ayez crainte, le bestiau est prévu pour soutenir plus de 120 kg. Pour s'asseoir et se relever, il y a deux solutions. Soit user de notre souplesse, soit, à la manière d'une porte battante, débloquer la plateforme du volant pour la rabattre sur le côté comme avec une charnière. Une fois bien assis, il faut avouer que cela fait quelque chose avec la sensation de se retrouver dans le cockpit d'une F1 au ras du bitume. Le volant tombe parfaitement sous la main. Le maintien du dos est vraiment bon et le tout ne bouge pas d'un iota, même lors d'un rallye effréné.

Pour modifier l'inclinaison et le maintien du siège, il suffit d'ajuster les scratchs au niveau de la jupe et des sangles servant d'accoudoirs. En jouant sur la longueur de celles-ci, nous pouvons abaisser ou relever le siège, augmentant ou diminuant l'angle formé par le dossier du fauteuil et la partie soutenant les cuisses. Autrement dit, plus les sangles sont longues, plus le dos est incliné vers l'arrière et plus le siège est bas. À l'inverse, si elles sont raccourcies, le dos est bien droit, mais les jambes plus relevées et le volant plus proche de nous. Pour le reste, les velcros de la jupe permettent d'ajuster la rigidité du dossier, la profondeur de l'assise et le passage des cuisses. Pour régler la distance du pédalier, il suffit de jouer sur l'emboîtement des tubes du support. L'inclinaison du volant se règle elle grâce à une molette. Le maintien est très bon et, une fois dedans, difficile d'en sortir tellement l'assise est agréable. Certes, nous ne sommes pas sur des chaises haut de gamme, mais la jupe en alcantara, les réglages lombaires et les accoudoirs offrent un bon maintien. Le tout est de bonne facture, respire la solidité et la simplicité, et s'adapte même aux grands gabarits. Sa conception nous autorise à ne garder au besoin que l'assise, pouvant servir de chaise d'appoint.

Le Playseat Challenge est compatible avec l'ensemble des volants et pédaliers du marché, y compris Logitech, Thrustmaster et Fanatec. Il est cependant dommage que la plateforme ne puisse être réglée en hauteur et le manque de fixations pour accrocher un levier de vitesse. Il faudra donc bricoler un peu ou passer à la caisse pour une solution toute faite.

Au placard comme la planche à repasser

L’une des caractéristiques les plus intéressantes de ce fauteuil est qu’il se replie avec le volant et le pédalier, en un ensemble mince et peu encombrant. À la manière d'une planche à repasser, il se glisse facilement dans une armoire et se fait oublier avec un gabarit contenu (30 cm d'épaisseur). Il suffit de rabattre le volant et le pédalier en jouant de la molette et du velcro.

Le Playseat Challenge ne déçoit pas, il est régulièrement aux alentours des 200 €, soit une centaine d'euros en dessous du prix des sièges baquet les moins chers de la marque, il fait figure d'ovni dans sa catégorie. Néanmoins, ne vous y trompez pas, même si son allure le rapproche plus d'une chaise longue que d'un véritable fauteuil de simulation, c'est du solide. Les matériaux utilisés sont de bonne facture et assurent un bon maintien, et le siège convient même aux grands gabarits. Il est confortable, mais si vous souhaitez jouer sur de très longues sessions, il montrera ses limites. Cependant, son extrême simplicité d'utilisation, sa conception, ses différents réglages et le fait qu'il puisse être rangé dans un placard en font un must have ! Autre avantage et pas des moindres, le Playseat Challenge est un excellent siège d'appoint en cas de grande affluence dans votre salon.

So, I bought the Playseat Challenge in the hopes that it would be portable enough to store and use in my small house. It definitely accomplishes that task and then some. With a Logitech g920, it fold to about 6 inches deep, and can comfortably stand in my closet out of the way. Setting it up can be a bit of a chore, since the pedal mount needs to be set out each time it is used (I’m 6’1”, so the pedals need to stretch a bit.

Once it is set up, and all the straps are set to the right length for you, it is absolutely great to sit in, being nice and comfortable for 1-3 hour sessions (I start to lose my arms and braking a bit at this point, not due to seat discomfort).

Overall, I would recommend, but only for someone who absolutely needs a folding rig.

Have you ever wondered what was the purpose in life? I know I have. Now I know it was to find this seat and drive in it.

When it arrived and I opened the box, the room started smelling of roses and mythical plants until then unknown to man. The assembling part was both easy and yet fulfilling, as if I was accomplishing my true destiny in life, bringing something good into the world. The sound of the velcros on the straps still resonate in my mind, making my skin tingle at the thought.

Once seated in it, it is like being cradled safely in the arms of a gentle goddess, knowing she'll give you her protection while you drive your virtual cars. Somehow the seats adjusts to your body as if it was made of an alien living textile alloy.

As for storing, who could even think of doing such a thing? I know I haven't yet, but I have no doubt it would be very easy, just by looking at the marvel of engineering that this thing is.

Assembling was relatively easy. The seat has a decent amount of adjustments although you cannot adjust the distance to the wheel without changing the seat angle.

What I like about this as opposed to using a wheelstandpro is that once you've found the setup you like, you never have to mess with it again. It becomes much easier to just jump in whenever for a few races.

One disappointing aspect that I found is that there is no place to put a shifter, so I had to get used to racing without it. I'm also racing with a VR headset and the headset cables gets a bit in the way of the headrest, nothing major though.

Après plusieurs semaines de réflexions concernant l'achat d'un siège adapté pour le SimRacing, après avoir négocier avec ma compagne et sorti tous les arguments que je vais vous sortir. C'est le siège à acheté pour la paix des ménages ! Il se monte rapidement, il est confortable, une fois le volant monter sur le siège, il n'y a plus besoin de faire des réglages, de monter / démonter... Ce système se plie rapidement et pas besoin d'être deux pour le porter le poids total avec volant ne dépassant pas les 15Kg ! Bref il se plie comme une planche à repasser et se cache facilement dans le décor. Avec ma taille d'1m80 et de 88Kg le siège me supporte parfaitement et je peux y rester quelques heures au vu du confort, à moi les courses d'endurance ! Convient parfaitement à mes attentes.

This is a surprisingly sturdy seat with offers a lot of flexibility both in terms of adjustment and use in limited space. I had put off buying a seat due to the limited space in the TV room and although I had looked at these previously was concerned that they would not be solid enough. A friend bought one and reassured me that they were solid. I have to say that I am really pleased with it and wish I had bought one sooner.

I wanted to upgrade my sim racing setup for a while now. Having used a desk chair and desk clamp to secure the wheel for years, I was looking for a not too expensive, solid and immersive chair. Amazed by its built quality, adjustability, it also offers a wheel plate where I have bolted on my Fanatec CSL elite. Even the 6Nm of power do not give noticeable flex.
I couldn't be happier. The fact it folds away so easily without unmounting the wheel of pedals is an absolute joy! And it takes up to no space as well.
Overall very good product especially for the price range.

If you are faced with the decision to buy a racing seat, there is one model that seems to be impossible to get past. Are all the praise justified, is the seat really as good as many claim? I can anticipate one thing, yes, it is!

Spoiled for choice, isn't it?
Not everyone has the necessary space for a permanent race seat, others don't want it for other reasons. And a desk mounted steering wheel that is constantly screwed on and off? Not many alternatives remain. Of course there are still the classic wheel stands, which have their justification. However, you need a suitable seat for these too. Nobody wants to use a rolling office chair for this, even an armchair is too uncomfortable in the long run. Yes, even a decent gaming chair costs as much as the folding Playseat Challenge. If you start thinking about it now, you already know, yes, a folding seat for simracing is needed.

Unboxing:
When you unbox the Playseat Challenge for the first time, you're surprised how compact everything is. The term "camping chair" in the guise of a racing seat is truly false, because both the fabric cover and the workmanship (including the frame) are robust and of high quality. Once you sit in the seat, there are hardly any vibrations. Everything is firmly in its place. Of course there are differences to a fixed rig whose goal it is to avoid any vibrations. But if you could expect this from a collapsible chair, you would have a wrong idea of what this chair can do. The feedback of the chair is very good, the robust construction leaves no doubt that you can have many hours of fun here permanently.

Rally specialists should be told that even rough steering movements are swallowed by the Playseat Challenge, nothing slips and the fun of the game is not spoiled.

Playing comfort:
I have now spent many hours in front of the monitor and am still very satisfied with the comfort of the racing seat. It folds in and out in under a minute. Accessories such as a digital dashboard (with a small external screen) can be attached as a DIY solution, but of course are not officially supported by the chair. Instead, it scores with a flawless pedal mount that won't slip even when the brakes are applied forcefully. If you want to look for a shortcoming, then there where the hook and loop fastener securing the pedal unit is attached. This loosens from time to time and if you forget the occasional check, it can happen that the pedals slip out of the holder when folding. I circumvent the problem by attaching an additional strap, then everything holds securely. But here we are talking about a little thing, straps just give way.

Steering wheel and pedals:
As steering wheel I use the TMX Pro (the Playstation-pendant is the T150) which is distributed by Thrustmaster. As pedals the well known TP3A. Unfortunately the TMX Pro has the peculiarity that in connection with the seat no mounting with screws is possible. The competition from Logitech G29/G920 makes it better here. The T300 from Thrustmaster can also be screwed on without problems. However, the TMX Pro's clamping device is better than its reputation, and if you want to avoid the steering wheel slipping minimally due to the seat constantly folding up and down, it's best to attach the hook and loop fastener supplied with the chair under the steering wheel. The counterpart on the steering wheel mount of the Playseat Challenge. In combination with the clamping device of the TMX Pro, nothing can slip anymore. But be careful, the hook and loop fastener holds enormously, a new loosening is only possible under effort. In connection with this steering wheel there is an adapter from Ricmotech, with which the TMX Pro can be screwed to the bracket of the Playseat Challenge. This would be the expensive additional solution.

Against tilting:
An important detail that almost goes under is the anti-tilting device at the bottom of the Playseat Challenge. If you forget to pull it out, the Playseat Challenge can tip to the side due to gravity when getting out of the seat. So, don't forget it! But the user manual points this out and is altogether well described.

Save space:
If you're not in a particular hurry, you can also just fold the pedals and push the seat to the side. This saves space and the racing seat can be left standing. But even when folded, the racing seat does not need to hide. When looking in the cupboard every day, the seat invites you to play again and again.

GT or Formula 1?
When it comes to seating comfort, I can reassure anyone. You sit comfortably for many hours. Especially since the seat position can be adjusted from upright (GT position) to half lying (Formula 1 position).

Conclusion:
What remains to be said about the chair? It's a piece of equipment that will provide a lot of fun for a long time, an elementary object of the sim world. As the basis for the steering wheel, it makes a decisive contribution to the fun of the game. After all, who can keep up for a long time when after an hour your back hurts from the couch chair? So it's better to grab a folding chair like this and be rid of your worries. Simracing is becoming more and more popular, the Playseat Challenge provides many reasons why this is so.

The Playseat Challange is an excellent seat for those with little space, the frame is more sturdy than i thought it would be and although at this time the seat front seems a little on the high side, it is adjustable and I hope will be more comfortable moving forward, otherwise it is reasonably comfortable and allows me to be much more relaxed whist driving and helps to improve lap times. It definitely suits my purpose.
The order process was easy and was dispatched the same day as the order and arrived as predicted by the Playseat store.
On arrival, it took me approximately 30 minutes or maybe less to unbox and assemble. The seat is well made and well thought out in its construction. Thank you Playseat, this will give me many hours of fun.

I've always wanted a sim setup but couldn't afford it and most of all I never had the space. The Playseat has a great ergonomic feel and is extremely comfortable. The material of the seat is excellent and shape formed with just strap supports makes you feel like you're in an F1 style racing seat. The frame is supportive and sturdy. The main USP is that it took 25mins to put together and is easy to fold away with the my wheel and pedals. Every aspect from feel to comfort to functional had been thought of.

For a long time I was thinking about Playseat Challenge, since living in a flat prohibits me having a big sim racing chair.
Challenge was the chair that fits all the criteria:
1. Foldable
2. Comfortable
3. A bit pricey, but still an okay price
4. Nice quality of materials and overall build quality

Assembly process does not require a lot of time, the initial correction to your body -- this takes quite some time, but it's only at first with minor corrections over the first time playing with it, after that you are good to use it without the need to correct anything.

My usual racing sessions consist of 1.5-3h of driving, not getting up. Before I got Challenge, I was using regular generic dining chair. It was uncomfortable to use and since pedals weren't fixated, had some minor inconveniences that made me poorly focus on racing.
After getting Challenge, I no longer suffer from some random pains, I focus purely on the race, since my wheel, shifter and pedals are fixated properly and do not bother me during racing.

I highly recommend this chair to anyone who is:
1. A beginner and starts getting into sim racing
2. An advanced sim racer who is constricted with the space at home and needs a compact solution (there's just no better alternative to it, except doing everything DIY, which can be even pricier in the end)

Overall I am satisfied by this model and I am happily using it every day.
Thank you, Playseat!

P.S. Ordered my chair on Sunday, it was shipped out on Monday.
Came on Friday and it was a day later than promised by FedEx, but it is because of virus and border shutdown.
Still would say it was very fast shipping and much needed fun delivered right to my home in such unpleasant times in the world.

It's hard to find something that served as a realistic endeavour of racing, while being compact enough to be put away.

I looked at tables, racing rigs on amazon, and then i stumbled upon this. While putting it together you do certainly question if this is what you paid for, but upon hopping in the playseat and running raps in grab Turismo, you quickly see what it is all about.

For a person as myself with a larger frame, I fit in the seat and was definitely held in place. Having the ability to adjust the wheel and pedals to your seating position is great, and serves as a way to have other drivers fit in the seat comfortably.

Already hooked, grabbing more games, and my friends are already looking into getting their own playseats.

I highly suggest getting one, and changing your racing experience moving forward.

Living in a 550 sq ft studio with limited storage, space was a serious issue and consideration when purchasing my racing seat setup. I wanted something that could fold up and be stored easily, but that also was comfortable for extended playing sessions. After reading a ton of reviews, I decided on the Playseat Challenge and couldn't be happier. I'll break my review into numerous sections to review everything:

Ordering/Shipping: I ordered my Playseat during their Black Friday sale and got a great deal on it. The order was processed quickly and I received regular updates via e-mail on the status of my order. I had ordered my Playseat on a Sunday. It was delivered on Friday - a mere 5 days to get from the Netherlands to my home in Washington, DC. I received regular shipping updates from the shipper as well, which were much appreciated.

Setup/Installation: The Playseat comes in a decent sized box with just a few pieces to assemble. The instructions were clear and easy to follow and everything was super simple to put together. No tools are required either as they provide everything you could need. I had the entire thing set up in around 5 minutes, which is about as good as you can get for a "plug and play" setup.

Quality: The overall quality is top notch, especially for the price. I'm 6'5" (~1.96m) and 200 pounds (~90kg) and fit comfortably in the seat. The rails are heavy duty enough to where I feel no flex from them when I sit down in the seat and it doesn't flex or move around on me when getting out. The simulated Alcantara they use on the seat itself is great quality and feels somewhat similar to the Alcantara on my actual race seat, and breathes just as well. The swing arm setup for the steering wheel which allows you to get out and into the seat is a basic setup, but works flawlessly and seamlessly.

Design: The section for the pedals is adjustable in or out, so you can really customize where your feet are on the pedals, which is extremely nice.

The overall cradle design of the seat itself is extremely comfortable and very close to my actual racing seat. While you don't get the side bolster support you would from an actual race seat, you obviously don't need it since you're not experiencing any lateral g forces while playing. The straps that support the seat as well are near perfectly placed and don't interfere or bother you at all. While the seat is not adjustable forwards or backwards and has no adjustable lumbar support, I've never found that to be a problem. It seems to be perfectly fit for the proper form while racing.

The mount for the steering wheel is properly centered and easily lifts up and out to allow entry and exit from the seat. The wheel mount is also adjustable up or down like a telescoping steering wheel in a car would be. My one complaint would be that the wheel isn't adjustable up or down. I'd prefer if it was adjustable up or down, but you can adjust the telescope side of the wheel mount pretty easily to compensate pretty well for this.

Overall: If you have limited space and want a great racing seat setup, I would highly recommend the Playseat Challenge! It's extremely comfortable, well built and designed, folds up and stores easily and looks great! I've spent easily 40 hours in my seat since I received it and have recommended it to all of my racing friends who have mentioned in the past wanting a home setup. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase one again!

I bought this seat because at the moment i don't have enough space for full sim-rig, but i want to have proper siting position and right wheel location. After assembling this fold-able rig i immediately noticed that it is sturdier than most of reviews are saying, especially in wheelbase plate fixation. It stays in place and there is no movement in any direction with Fanatec CSW 2.5 wheelbase, and after using it for good 10-12 hours i can say it fully supports its power and there is no movement in either direction. seat is comfortable and can be adjusted to different people liking.

Extremely easy to set up, and very comfortable. Stores very easily too. Full marks.

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 ....

Comfortable position achieved (Height - 1.84 m, ~6ft)
Shipping was quick enough, took around 4 days.
Overall happy with the experience and would recommend to others looking for a racing rig that can be hidden away.

The best about this chair is two things: low price, and little space it takes. It is pretty comfortable too, so I am very happy with it.

I ordered the playseat challenge and within a week it had arrived. Opening the box and assembling it was easy and straightforward. After assembling it I mounted my logitech g29 steering wheel and pedals loaded f1 2018 and started playing. The experience was excellent for the pricepoint and the fact that the whole seat folds is a fantastic feature. Overall great value for money and practicality!

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.
