Playseat® Evolution PRO - Red Bull Racing eSports

Product Information

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 One of the additional benefits of this sim rig over the previous Playseat sim rig is additional adjustability. You can change the driving position much more on the Formula Intelligence allowing you to replicate the driving position from various motorsport series. But we have to include it in this guide, to show you just what the professionals are using in their own sim racing setups. Compatible with all steering wheels and pedal sets on the market, including Logitech, Thrustmaster and Fanatec The rest of the chassis is laser cut from carbon steel to ensure rigidity when using high-performing racing wheels and sim racing pedals.

It’s not ideal, or attractive. In the standard Playseat it really is neat how it all goes down the steering column. That hidden method would be difficult to replicate here unfortunately. There’s a lot of adjustability throughout this sim rig. You can adjust the position of the pedal plate and the wheel mount. And you can also change the recline angle of the racing seat. Despite the frame being specifically designed to replicate the F1 driving position, there is still adjustability to ensure your seating and pedal position is comfortable for a variety of body sizes. Some forms of motorsport such as LMP1 Prototype cars also feature a reclined seating position, but Formula 1 is where the drivers are most reclined while driving. This is due to the cars being incredibly low to the ground. The V-Racing sim racing seat is a much closer representation of a real-world motorsport racing seat. This is a sim racing seat for those who are happy to forgo some comfort for a more immersive experience.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. These aluminium profile sim rigs offer much higher levels of customisation than an all-in-one solution. You can mount many parts of the chassis in a completely bespoke position to create a solution that is perfectly fit for your driving position. Next Level Racing has increasingly increased its presence in the world of 8020 sim rigs by releasing more and more 8020 products.

Perhaps critically, the Playseat F1 Ultimate Edition is suited more to those homes or places where there is more than one driver. With our Red Bull seat, my kids need to adjust the Pedal length, steering column distance and the reach of the steering column. Each adjustment is really tight and quite hard to do – impossible for an 8-11 year old frankly. Sparco isn’t a company that is known for their sim rigs despite offering a few options across the past few years. However, they are a company that goes hand in hand with all forms of motorsport, being one of the biggest motorsport product designers around.

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. The F1 nose design also serves as a platform for the sim racing pedals to be mounted to. This is a neat solution to avoid suspending them too high in the air which can sometimes result in flex. Fanatec has released multiple versions of their Formula wheel over the years, with the V2.5X being the newest of the bunch.

Often, these designs have been built using CAD software allowing for the utmost precision when lining up fixings and mounting peripherals.Take a seat and drive as fast as possible in the Playseat® Evolution PRO - Red Bull Racing Esports! When you're racing with this Playseat® chair, it feels like your in a real Red Bull racing car, thanks to the authentic shape and the high quality ActiFit upholstery. ActifFit has a breathable mesh design, giving you ultimate comfort. Even during those long racing sessions!

There are mounting holes on the side of the seat allowing it to be mounted in a pretty traditional manner to any sim rig. The incline can be adjusted using these mounting holes, and at its most extreme angle, gives a pretty close representation of a real F1 seating position. It is compatible with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S as well as PC, making it a good addition to any sim racing setup.

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. Is this the real reason Apple set a night-time event? And the Aussie company that featured in every shot!
