Playseat® Evolution Black

Product Information

Sitting in any position for a long duration is likely to cause you discomfort but you do feel that the padding in the seat could have been bolstered to provide a bit more comfort. What better place to park your bottom for some top-level Forza action than in the official Forza Motorsport racing chair? It's perfect for longer gaming sessions, particularly those long races on Forza, keeping you upright and comfortable the whole time. We noticed the frame creak now and again when there is large movement within the chair or when getting in and out.

I've been using this one personally for some time as my everyday gaming chair, and I feel great recommending it. The housing plate is wide enough to accomodate most wheels and whilst the Drive Force GT clamped on, there is provision to screw to the plate should it be needed depending on the wheel you are using. Forza Motorsport is one of those racing games that's accessible to all, with casual players and more serious sim racers getting enjoyment from it. Again its unfortunate its not in as standard but its presumably left as an optional extra to keep the basic cost down for those without a gear shift. Inside you will fine the Chair itself as one piece folded with the chassis and frame parts disassembled.You can bring the steering column closer to the seat and away from the pedals to create a bit more room so you can reach other pedals with your other feet.

That said, leaving it set up in you house is absolutely an option (girlfriend permitting) as it looks so good that it is likely to intrigue visitors as opposed to scare them off! There’s nothing much more to say other than it does exactly what it should and it is a must for anyone with a separate shift stick. Younger racers will be right at home in this chair from X Rocker, not only because it's designed perfectly for kids, but because it has built-in speakers. Is relatively straight forward but took us a bit more time because we also got the separate PlaySeat Seat Slider which again was relatively straight forward to put on.

Microsoft's Forza Motorsport franchise is one of the best virtual racers around, and for the last couple of years hasn't even been limited to just the console.

We did try place some foam between the points of contact but we found its just too impractical and eventually gets lost after one too many adjustments.

It's comfortable, well made, and will put you in the perfect position to hit the tarmac and pound out some laps. After some use with different people hopping on and off it, we know we could not have done without it as we would otherwise have to have kept making manual adjustments to the frame.

There's even a healthy community of Challenge owners that have come up with some ingenious modifications that in turn have led to third-party accessories for attaching gear shifts and even a cup holder!

The chair is modeled on the sort of thing you might find in actual racing cars, with an integrated pedal platform, steering wheel stand, and support for adjusting both recline and height. It also makes wearing a headset less important, since the built-in speakers provide some serious immersion.

We installed a Logitech Driving Force GT Gaming Wheel which fits on perfectly and looks as one with the PlaySeat once all set up. But generally speaking it is comfortable and you can always add your own cushions if it does become uncomfortable. If you're also using a racing wheel, whether connected to a stand or your desk, your little ones will have a great setup. The dimensions of the chair are 130 x 50 x 98 cm / 51 x 20 x 39 inches and whilst it can fold away, you do need a bit of storage space if you are not going to leave it set up.You get both a lumbar cushion and a neck pillow for added support and comfort, and combined with the recline and fully adjustable armrests, you can get this set up perfectly for you. So, before, I was looking into a bunch of different setups, but I think the best option for my situation would be a playseat which can be moved and folded at any point. Up close and personal, the Forza model really stands out with its branding and finish though the others are equally impressive if you prefer the plain / non branded seats.
