Product Information

However, I would recommend the MOZAZ R9 wheel base if choosing a new wheel base to act as a hub for my setup. Using the SmartControl software which is included you can csutomise every part of each pedal. You can change the output curves, deadzones and pedal forces required. This racing seat differs from its other seats by using a much more fluid design between the lower and upper parts of the seat. This closely replicates F1 racing seats and is designed to be utilised in a reclined position.

It also frees up a lot of ground space that can be used to store other things. You could position your gaming PC under the pedals, or use it as an area to manage your cables and accessories. When building a sim racing setup specifically for F1, I would recommend either Fanatec or MOZA Racing. Both of these brands have a range of wheel bases covering different strengths and different price ranges. And they both have F1-style steering wheels. Fanatec The inside of this racing seat is covered in padding to give you a comfortable sim racing experience even after hours behind the wheel. The padding wraps up the side of the racing seat to cacoon you in, giving you an immersive sim racing experience. 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.When you mount this seat using the bottom mounting point at the front, and top mounting point at the rear, the seat will ahve a pretty extreme incline.

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. To really maximise the immersion, you will have to raise your pedals up to further replicate a traditional formula position. But this racing seat allows you to achieve this result using a regular sim rig.Both the wheel plate and the pedal plate come pre-drilled to ensure compatibility with all major steering wheel and pedals such as those from Fanatec, Thrustmaster, Logitech and more. 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.

However, when it comes to choosing your wheel base, typically you will want to opt for a brand which has compatible steering wheels that you like.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. Compatible with all steering wheels and pedal sets on the market, including Logitech, Thrustmaster and Fanatec The Heusinkveld Sprint pedals are the entry point and are the pedals we would recommend. They offer a lot of the mechanics and design that Huesinkveld offers at their lowest price point for any pedal set. You will require a racing wheel and set of pedals at the very minimum to get yourself up and racing. Beyond these peripherals, you can look at additional peripherals such as button boxes for extra control in-game, or manual shifter add-ons. Once you have your wheel and pedals in place, you need to run cables from the wheels to the pedals. And to power and your PC or Console.

When paired with either the X1 Carbon seat or the Sparco GP seat, this sim rig allows you to have a fully reclined seating position.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.
