    • Perfect when space is a concern - for the casual arcade racers and hardcore PC sim-racers alike
Style: Original
My height & weight: 6', 250lbs, 38-40" waist. Equipment: Logitech G27 wheel & Shifter, Fanatec ClubSport V2 pedals Simply put, I fit perfectly. Getting in is a bit tricky as I can't lift my wheel out of the way completely due to my L-shaped desk, but once in place, and after a quick... umm... adjustment... this is one of the most comfortable seats I have ever used. I was a little worried about how well I'd fit as I'm a big guy, but the seat was easy to adjust and I fit just fine. If you have larger than a 40" waist I'd imagine things could get a bit tricky. Below 40", you're going to fit perfectly. On to some long-winded thoughts: Build Quality: This is a very sturdy unit. People on gaming forums and people who own dedicated cockpit rigs tend to laugh at it and call it a glorified lawn chair, but it really is a well-built, well-thought out unit. The seat material is a quality, padded ultrasuede type material with nice red stitching. The tubing is solid with a nice matte black powdercoat finish. Once everything is set in place and you are locked in the seat doesn't wobble, tilt, or do anything other than hold you comfortably in place. Assembly/Adjustment: The instructions are vague, but there really isn't much to do in the way of assembly. Very easy. Once assembled the unit is rather simple to adjust. The seat adjustments are done via adjusting the various Velcro straps that control lumbar support, thigh support, and the angle of the seat back. Unfortunately the wheel mount is only tilt adjustable. It is not height adjustable and does not telescope. That said, it would not be difficult to modify this unit to your liking (especially if you need more height, or need it a little farther away from you) by cutting the tubing and welding in additional sections, or cutting out some and welding or clamping the unit back together. But I suspect if you need that level of adjustment you're going to spring for a dedicated rig. Pedals: This is where things got tricky for me. It's easy to mount the G27 pedals to the pedal base with the supplied strap, but the Fanatec ClubSport V2 pedals require a custom base to mount. I bolted mine to two sections of 14x6x1 whitewood, then removed the foam padding from the Playseat pedal base and used ½" pipe clamps to secure it. This worked like a charm, and the pedals are extremely stable. The pedal base is not height adjustable, so if you want to angle your pedals you will need to build an angled base - I tried putting some extra boards underneath the end, but this was not very stable and puts undue stress on the two plastic clips that hold the pedal base to the seat. The base really needs to be flat on the ground. Shifter Mount: As has been mentioned by other reviewers, there is no supplied shifter mount bracket. Instead of paying for the Playseat mount, I used a section of ½" box aluminum and used the G27 wheel clamps to secure it in place. I clamped the G27 shifter to the box aluminum rail and voila... a sub $5 shifter mount that works very well. Storage: The main reason I bought the Challenge is because I live in an apartment and don't want to have a dedicated cockpit in the way all of the time. The Challenge is very easy to fold up and store away in a closet or against a wall somewhere. Because I have the Fanatec ClubSport V2 pedals on a custom mount, I disconnect the pedal base and leave it under my desk. I fold the seat like you see in the pictures and tuck it away in a closet. Very easy. Complaints: Less of a complaint but more of an observation - the seat is a bit on the low side. My desk is 28.5" high, so when I get the seat in position my monitors are maybe 2-3" higher than where I'd prefer them. Not really a big deal in the grand scheme of things as I can work around it with view adjustments in iRacing. Final Thoughts: This is the perfect solution for the casual racer that wants to set up a rig in front of their TV on occasions, or for the hardcore iRacers like me that just don't want to have a dedicated rig due to space concerns. Don't let the forum jokers and non-believers sway you, the Playseat Challenge is FAR from glorified lawn-chair! ... show more

    • Don't let the size fool you, it's an amazing chair!
Style: Original
I went back and forth between this and the F-GT Lite for weeks after watching videos, and reading reviews on here and random sites. I decided to get the F-GT Lite because it seemed more like a "real" racing seat. Needless to say, I was disappointed - it was significantly bigger than I thought and cumbersome to set up and take down (it's not (small room friendly either.) So I reluctantly decided to buy what people called, "the lawn chair racing seat." It was packaged *very* well, and setup didn't take too long. There aren't any written instructions (just pictures), so it took a moment for me to figure out how to "attach" the back. Once that was done, my wheel and pedals were set, and I did some cable management with the ties to set/route the cables that came with the chair itself (definitely a plus!), I sat in it, got out and made a few slight adjustments (nobody gets the right feel the first time), I was ready to go. Putting it away is really simple as well - fold it up, use the included strap to hold it in place if you'd like, and put it where you'd like. And I gotta say - wow. It's surprisingly comfortable to sit in for long periods of time (I'm 6'1 with long dancers legs,) and the wheel doesn't move as much as I thought since I was expecting it to move like spaghetti. The reason why is because your own weight is securing the stability of the wheel, and if you have a wheel that has feedback, you can feel it on your backside. Not a lot, but enough for a slight smile. There's no side-to-side wiggle. There's a little up-and-down wiggle, but you don't notice it while using. The pedal length is also adjustable for those who have longer (or shorter) legs. Oh, speaking of adjustable, there are 5 positions which are marked by red lines on both straps for closeness to the wheel, or if you wanna lean back a bit. You can adjust the tension/firmness of the back as well by adjusting the straps. The tighter you make the strap, the more back support you get, which will also get you closer to the wheel. Hole positions for all the big manufacturers as well. You can put a DD wheel on here, but nothing with a huge amount of force. You can buy the shifter plate for an additional cost if that's what you're into. If you want a more "formula" style of pedals, you can put a box underneath it, but there are some really cool DIY ideas as well. I thought I'd need it, but it turns out I don't because of the seat positioning. Many people mention the back/top where your head goes will lean in making it uncomfortable, but I haven't had that issue because I have the distance away from the wheel to the 5th red line. Now I will say this - the chair is not going to be similar to a $5k base that you attach a $3k wheel to...it's not supposed to be. This is for people who like racing and want to simulate the experience more than using a controller, who don't want to pay a huge amount of money for something they enjoy but aren't hardcore enthusiasts about, and don't want/need to dedicate an entire room. The seating position is a mix of formula and GT so it's a nice blend for both types of people who prefer a certain style (with no annoying bar in the middle of your legs, I forgot to mention that part.) Would I buy it again? Absolutely 100%. The price is a bit high - if you can get it around $240 for a new one, buy it immediately. That being said, I paid $270, so the price difference isn't a huge amount, but it's nice to save a few dollars. It's a great chair, enhances gameplay, and it's an awesome accessory for gaming. ... show more

    • Fantastic for limited space!
Style: Original
I'm absolutely thrilled with this chair! I needed something that could be tucked away, as my office doesn't allow for a setup to sit on the floor without being a hazard. Everything is very well-constructed, and the instructions were pretty clear on how to use everything. Once together, it collapses with relative ease, and stays that way once you fasten the two bits of velcro. I appreciate that I can keep my wheel on the chair, giving it a safe spot to be stored. For basically being a folding chair, it's quite comfortable! After being in it for two hours, I didn't have much soreness, so that was a plus for someone on the heavier side (around 240lbs). It definitely pinches on the sides of my thighs, so taller individuals may want to read more about recommended height for this thing. I think my only complaint aside from that might be that it can be a little tricky to get back out of the chair. I appreciate the way the wheel apparatus lifts away from the chair, but it also throws the chair off balance to the left, with you trying to get out on the right. If you're not careful, the chair can easily keep going in the opposite direction of you! So just be careful and keep a hand on the right side while getitng out so that the chair doesn't fall over (potentially taking you down with it!). Still, 5 stars for a well-built chair that stows away without much fuss! ... show more
