Und genau dafür ist der Sitz perfekt.
Ich habe ein Logitech G920 am Sitz angebracht.
Die Verarbeitung ist sehr gut und der Sitz hält richtig was aus.
Selbst wenn man knallhart die Bremse tritt.
Lediglich die Sitzbreite ist etwas knapp für kräftige Menschen wie ich es bin.
Der Preis ist meines Erachtens auch völlig in Ordnung.
Und ich würde empfehlen die "Playseat Floor Mat" gleich mitzubestellen, wenn man auf einem glatten Boden den Sitz aufstellen möchte. -

Bei mir steht er im Kleiderschrank (ist ja ein Männerschrank, daher ist dort noch Platz).
Der Zusammenbau, bei Lieferung, ist in 10 Minuten erledigt. Es wird keine Werkzeug benötigt. Alles wird gesteckt und arretiert.
Der Sitz lässt sich über die Klettbänder der Armstützen einstellen, ebenso kann man über die weiteren Klettbänder die Sitzposition anpassen.
Die Aufnahme für das Lenkrad lässt sich neigen und ist überaus stabil, selbst bei heftigen FFB Effekten wackelt sie nur minimal und as ist auch nötig. Die Aufnahme für die Pedale lässt sich in Länge und Position anpassen und ist auch sehr stabil. Das "normalerweise" mitgelieferte Klebeband hält das Pedalset in Position.
Warum "normalerweise"? Bei mir fehlten im Originalkarton, die Anleitung, das Klebeband für die Pedalset Befestigung und das Klebeband um den Sitz später im zusammengeklappten Zustand zuhalten.Der Support hat schnell reagiert und mir Ersatz verschafft, leider selbstklebendes Klettband das auch nicht lang genug war.
Warte nun auf meine zweite Ersatzlieferung.
Dennoch ist der Playseat voll nutzbar!
Im Großen und Ganzen ein tolles Produkt.

Er ist nicht ganz verwindungssteif, aber für seinen Zweck absolut ausreichend.
Das Positivste: Ihn verstauen funktioniert komplett problemlos, und auf das wurde beim Kauf das Hauptaugenmerk gelegt. So verschwindet er spurlos im Schrank und ist innerhalb von Sekunden auch wieder einsatzbereit.
Einzig der Komfort lässt etwas zu wünschen übrig, sofern man nicht ganz der Norm entspricht. Ich wiege in meinem Fall etwas mehr, zwar noch den Belastungsgrenzen entsprechend, jedoch wird es rund um die Oberschenkel schon sehr eng und beengend.
Jedoch hab ich mit einer Größe von über 1,90 keine Probleme dank der ausziehbaren Pedalerie-halterung. EInzig die Kopfstütze könnte noch etwas höher sein.
Alles in allem: Für jemand ganz normalen mit Hang zum Gelegenheitsracen mit wenig Platz ist der Sessel ideal!! -

Super fährt es sich mit dem Playseat Challenge - das Wegrutschen der Pedale oder des Sitzes sind Geschichte und man kann sich voll auf das Geschehen auf der Rennstrecke konzentrieren.
Das macht nun noch mehr Spaß und bringt wertvolle Zehntel :-)
Mein Fazit: Den Playseat hätte ich mir schon früher gönnen sollen :-) -

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.....

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. -

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. -

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! -

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. -

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. -

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. -

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! -

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! -

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 -

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. -

Das Lenkrad (hier G27 Logitech) lässt sich mit den mitgelieferten Inbusschrauben sicher an der Konsole befestigen, damit nichts hin und her rutscht.
Die Halterung für die Pedale lässt sich auf die gewünschte Länge ausziehen und anschließend mit Klemmschrauben arretieren, der Verstellbereich ist ausreichend groß. Die Pedalplatte liegt an einer Querstange an und wird von hinten durch einen breiten Riemen mit Klettverschluss befestigt, so dass überhaupt nichts verrutscht.
Zum Ein- und Aussteigen lässt sich die Lenkradkonsole hochklappen; es wird mit einer stabilen klemmschraube mit rastung an der lenkradhalterung befestigt. Dies ermöglicht auch die gewünschte Höhenverstellung des Lenkrads zum Fahren. Es gibt sogar einen ausziehbaren Seitenarm, um ein Umkippen des Sitzes beim Ein- und Aussteigen zu verhindern. Zum Verpacken hebe ich einfach die Pedalhalterung (am Stuhl befestigt, damit sie sich drehen kann) an und befestige sie mit Hilfe eines beiliegenden Riemens mit Klettverschluss an der Lenkradhalterung.
Zusammenfassend kann ich sagen, dass mir dieser Playseat nach ein paar Anpassungen wie angegossen passt, auch bei längeren Online-Rennen (bis zu 90 min) sitze ich entspannter als je zuvor. Vorbei sind die Zeiten, in denen das Lenkrad selbstständig auf dem Tisch klemmt oder der Schreibtischsessel plötzlich auf den Rollen verrutscht, ich hätte so ein Gerät schon viel früher in die Hand bekommen sollen.
Der Preis ist mit ca. 200 € vielleicht etwas hoch aber ich bereue den Kauf definitiv nicht und empfehle den Sitz jedem, der wenig Platz hat.

Your back is well supported and the comfort is good.

Very comfortable, I think I could even work from here all day :)
Even though it looks a bit unstable when you are not sitting in it and not driving, I didn't feel any wobbling while playing, it felt stable.
One thing that is a but unfortunate is when you fold the chair you have to adjust the pedal positions and the wheelbase rotation, so when you want to play again, you will have to set it back to the position that's right for you. On the other hand, this makes the chair foldable which is a big plus for this chair.
Tested with Logitech G29, didn't have any problem neither with controlling the car or the strong brake pedal. I had to get used to the different sitting position, but after 45 - 60 minutes it felt a lot better. The package includes 4 screws and the screwdriver to mount the wheel to the base.
All in all, I think this is a great choice for people who want to add some more fun to the simulator experience but don't have much space and / or a huge budget. I definitely enjoy 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. -

Bin im großen und ganzen sehr zufrieden und kann es weiterempfehlen.
Die Lieferung erfolgt sehr schnell und sicher.
Der Aufbau ist in wenigen Minuten erledigt. Wenn man Kabel und Base sauber verlegt sind ein paar Minuten mehr einzurechnen.
Hier die Pro und Kon zum Produkt.
Pro:
-schneller, einfacher Aufbau
-Platzsparend zu verstauen (Base und Pedale können Montiert bleiben)
-bequem (auch bei 195cm und 100Kg) längere Sessions problemlos möglich
-optisch ansprechend
Kon:
-Pedalstange für große Pedaleinheiten kompatibel aber der Gurt mit Klettverschluss leider sehr kurz (Spanngurt verschafft Abhilfe)
Ich kann es jedem empfehlen der eine günstige und gute Alternative zu einem RaceRig sucht.
Werde mir mit Sicherheit bald eine größere und dauerhafte Lösung suchen, da das Fahren so viel mehr Spaß macht. Aber für die ersten Runden und zum Testen definitiv eine Kaufempfehlung.
Jeder der schnell ein paar Runden mit Racefeeling drehen will ist damit bestens aufgehoben. -

Aufbau:
- leicht und schnell erledigt.
Qualität/Comfort:
- Trotz des einfachen Prinzips sehr stabil und robust,
- Lange sessions sind absolut kein Problem und können
aufgrund des guten Sitzkomforts gehalten werden,
- Passgenauigkeit mit einem FANATEC Set istmöglich
und auch montierbar, lediglich wenn man eine breite
Pedaleinheit hat, wird der mitgelieferte Klettgurt zu
kurz.
Größe und Abmessung:
- auch Aufgebaut kein großer Platzfresser,
- Zusammengeklappt schnell im Schrank oder einer
Nische verstaut (Base und Pedale können montiert
bleiben),
- ich mit 195 cm und 100Kg habe sehr leicht und gut
Platz, Sitze bequem und Stabil, lediglich die
Kopfstütze ist nicht exakt da wo sie sein soll.
Im großen und ganzen kann man den Playseat empfehlen. Er braucht nicht viel Platz, ist Stabil, sieht gut aus und erfüllt seinen Zweck. Auch kann man ihn sehr schnell verstauen wenn man fertig ist und nicht mehr benötigt, was als Argument verwendet werden kann.
Abwicklung und Versand liefen absolut perfekt und reibungslos. Auch hier Daumen hoch!!

I use it in combination with my Thrustmaster T300RS. Everything fits just fine, no need for any fiddling or "custom made" solutions - it just works.
The other big PRO is that you can store this thing in literally any place that is ~25cm wide / high. This way i can play my simulators on a really good rig and still have no issues with the wife complaining about any bulky thing.
I play my racing simulators in in VR and i just have to say this thing makes the overall feeling so much better.

Although she doesn’t mind me having a simulator at home, she does mind if it’s always going to be “there”. I won’t place it in my kid’s room, I can’t possibly put a rig in the living room, in plain view for my wife’s non-sim racing friends to admire, let alone our bed I raced karts and prototypes when I was younger but those days have passed since I no longer wish to invest time and money away from my wife and my kid. room.
The answer came from Playseat’s Challenge seat and It fits perfectly in my closet. I saw a lot of reviews before buying it and most said that although it isn’t exactly a rig, it is a great product for newcomers into sim racing.
I have over 3000 hours of sim racing under my belt and maybe half of that in real life racing. I ain’t no newcomer, and still I believe it has everything a decent rig should have, the sole exception being the fact that it’s got an up-and-down wobble due to the weight of the wheel and the driver’s hands pushing down on the wheel mount in a springy fashion. My brain quickly adapted though and by the time I was flying through Flugplatz in the Nordschleife I had forgotten everything about that wobble.
In every other regard the structure is stable and sturdy. I use Fanatec hardware including the shifter and the V3 pedals for which I had to do some DIY since the shifter mount from Playseat is not compatible with the Fanatec shifter and the pedals move a lot if not properly attached to the pedal base with some brackets.
The pedal base is very adjustable but the seat position is not as great as I thought it was going to be. To me, the position of the headrest leans too much forward and that put some strain on my upper back, especially when using a VR headset. I still have some adjusting to do though.
The seat is light and easy to lay. The suede is very appealing and the design speaks of racing. You can almost smell the petrol. The seat adapts to the shape of your body since it’s held to the frame by adjustable straps of velcro. Very smart design.
You could of course spend up to 2000$ on high end rigs but in my opinion it’s not going to be worthwhile for just a little more comfort and (that i can relate to) a steadier wheel mount, unless of course you’re all about looks and you want a crazy looking rig.
Make Playseat Challenge V2 steadier on the wheelbase and push the headrest just a tad further back and you get an already great product into a must have for sim racers of all trades.
8/10 overall.

Obwohl ich bedenke hatte, Stabilität, Komfort usw. doch nach ein paar Minuten des Aufbaus und Einstellung des Sitzes, was soll ich sagen...sehr bequem. Als Lenkrad nutze ich das
Trustmaster T80 Ferrari 488 GTB Edition. Wegen der Klemmvorrichtung für das Lenkrad muss man allerdings die Bodenplatte versetzen. Ist ja kein Problem, die vier Schrauben der Platte lösen, versetzen, Schrauben wieder anbringen und festziehen. Passt alles perfekt inkl. Pedale. Persönlich spiel ich hauptsächlich PSVR und muss sagen, wow, bin sehr zufrieden. Wenn fertig, Stuhl zusammenklappen und Bingo. Bilder dazu spare ich mir. Gibt ja genügend der anderen Reviewern. Also den Sitz kann ich nur wärmstens empfehlen wenn es um Platzprobleme geht. -

Erstens habe ich keinen Platz für ein Dauerhaftes Rig. Zweitens ist der Preis für die Leistung angemessen, ein dauerhaftes alu Rig o.ä. kostet das 3x oder mehr.
Der Aufbau geht Problemlos, Anleitung ist gut beschrieben und man kann nicht viel falsch machen. Mit Lenkrad anbauen und verschiedene Sitzpositionen testen habe ich ca 30 min gebraucht.
Schrauben fürs Lenkrad (G29) waren auch dabei, super.
Durch die Seitlichen Bänder lässt sich die Sitzposition verändern, so ist eine aufrechte GT Position oder liegende Formel Position möglich.
Auf und abbau ist schnell erledigt und der Sitz passt dann in die Abstellkammer oder Schrank.
Qualität ist super nichts klappert quietscht oder wackelt.
Alles in allem bekommt man ein Gutes Rig für einen vernünftigen Preis.

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. -

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.

I have been using it already for more then few weeks and I can say, that it is a really well designed, comfortable, functional, takes very low space when it is not being used.
Even my wife likes it and actually she started to play Rally for the first time in her life :D
My kid is still too little (3y), but he also asks me to let him drive. He climbs up on my knees and likes to test drive for few minutes.
In General, for beginners and when you need to save apartment space - probably it is the best choice.

Das Aussehen des Plaseats ließ nicht auf den Komfort schließen, den er tatsächlich hat. Sieht ja wie ein Gartenstuhl aus. Aufgrund des Konzepts, da man nicht wie bei dem Wheelstand mit einem Bürostuhl davor sitzt, war ich sofort begeistert und schaute nach ob ich meinen Wheelstand noch zurückschicken konnte. Ja ich hatte Glück. Einen Tag vor Ablauf der Rückgabe frist konnte ich die Rücklieferung veranlassen.
Nachdem ich den Playseat Challenge bestellt hatte, wurde er innerhalb kürzester Zeit geliefert. Er wurde gut verpackt geliefert.
Der Aufbau stellt sich sehr leicht da und kann bequem alleine erfolgen. Innerhalb von 10-15 Min. ist er schon einsatzbereit.
Ich bin 164cm und konnte ihn schnell so einrichten, dass ich auch längere Zeit ermüdungsfrei frei fahren kann. Ich wollte einmal Platz genommen, gar nicht mehr aufhören zu fahren.
Ein herausragendes Merkmal ist auch, dass er einfach zusammenklappbar ist und mit dem Lenkrad nicht viel Platz wegnimmt und so schnell wieder abgebaut ist, wenn der Platz anderweitig benötigt wird.
Jetzt habe ich auch das richtige Rennerlebnis für einen guten Preis.

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. -

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. -

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 am using a Logitech Momo wheel with the Playseat Challenge. All I had to do was remove the center desk clamp from the Momo. The two "front edge" clamps work fine to secure the Momo to the baseplate using a couple pieces of wood to create the "desk depth" that the Momo clamps expect.

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. -

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. -

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 ....

Unfortunately, there is a minor drawback which makes the seat slightly annoying. The servo mounting position isn't quite rigid and there's definitely some movement there, detracting from the whole experience slightly.

Na opzoeking gedaan te hebben ben ik bij playseat challenge uitgekomen en de gearshift suport.
De playseat challenge is gemakkelijk in elkaar re steken, ik had zelfs de handleiding niet nodig want alles wijst zichzelf uit.
Mijn Logitech G27 past er goed op en gemakkelijk gemonteerd alsook de shifter op de optionele gearshift support.
De kabels kan je mooi vastmaken met de bijgeleverde velcro strips.

Guess who got a Playseat Challenge, right, I did...
Love it!
Easy to setup. Very solid, especially since it folds up. It is also pretty comfortable but a bit narrow for my somewhat over-size hiney.
Time to race, pull it out, fold down the pedals, sit down, drop the wheel and everything is perfectly setup.
Company coming, it is out of sight in 30 seconds.

GAME CHANGER. With the wheel (and the arguably weak pedals with the TMX, but who cares, can upgrade later :)); and this chair, force feedback on high and I'm having an absolute ball playing F12018, Dirt, and attempting Asseto Corsa but damn that game is twitchy. I have driven cars on multiple race tracks around the world and well, I just don't have the time to do that anymore. Look, the thing is rock solid, folds really well, and you can the guys that designed and built this thing give a sh*. Not some cheap Asian knock-off, poorly designed item. They ship it to you from Europe via Fedex (included, amazing, you can track it all the way)! JUST GET IT! You can see the other kids stuff etc. in this pic, but you can also see how nicely it tucks away, and just open, plug in, and ready to go! -

The only ding I have to give it (and it's a quarter star off, not the whole one) is the triangle anchors for the arm rest Velcro bands. The triangle shape sticks out just enough to be noticeable pressing against your outer thigh. Now, I've sat in the chair for at least two hours and have never had any bruising, but an alternate design choice here could eliminate this one contact point. -

Having the wheel fold out makes it very easy to get in and out, while allowing you to have an excellent stability and cockpit environment when in use. I am 5'8 and had no trouble getting I to a comfortable position, with plenty of adjustment available to fit my 6 ft friend as well. The simple strap and backstop system means your pedals are rock solid without having to hardmount them. And the sliding system means you have lots of room to move the pedals and get into the perfect position.
The seat is comfortable, with thick durable material and heavy duty velcro straps that can be adjusted to affect the support and seating angle. While not the easiest system, you can't really adjust while sitting in the seat, it only took me about 10 min of trial and error when I first set it up and haven't thought about it since. I can't really think of a better system for this chair that wouldn't increase complexity, price or weight so I can't fault Playseat for the velco set up. It works well, and is a good solution.
It's not the most stable platform, which is to be expected from something as light as this. However your body weight keeps it well on the ground, and to be honest the little movement that the force feedback causes adds to the immersion for me, as some of the ffb is transmitted into my most, much in the same way motion from a car would be. However I have no qualms about the durability of the chair.
The only concern I have is the plastic piece that locks the wheel carrier in place. I feel that if you didn't properly line up the metal tab with the slot in the plastic and forced it closed to many times that it would potentially break. However I am careful to line it up Everytime I use it and don't think it will break barring user error. I would have liked to see that part be metal as well though, for piece of mind.
Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. I got it on discount, bit would t hesitate to purchase at full price.
Solid 4 out of 5 from me, and a huge step up from other small or cpact alternatives. Great job Playseat! -

The seat itself adds to the immersion factor of simracing. It really is a must to take your experience to another level on a reasonably tight budget or tight space.
The seat is perfect if you are limited on space or need to move it around a lot. It is light weight, can be folded up in a minute and laid back out again swiftly.
The stand that the wheel connects to is very sturdy and perfect for force-feed back wheels such as the g29. The plate can also be adjusted along with the pedal plate for comfort.
In short, I would definitely recommend this seat due to the great value and quality you receive. A highly comfortable and sturdy rig that is perfect for those who are on a tighter budget and lacking space -

I was immediately shocked at how much better I could focus on driving instead of wrestling with a wheel stand or pedal movement.
Overall the seat feels very sturdy. I am a big guy, 6'2" (~188cm) and 230 lbs (~104 kg), so this really says a lot.
All of this AND it folds up! Are you kidding me? This feature makes for a high spousal approval rating.
My only issue so far has been the retaining piece that secures the steering wheel arm. It appears to have gotten bent at some point. This causes a little movement of the arm. This doesn't make the seat unusable, but it is just annoying. I am hoping that I can replace the part.
This seat is a great deal, and at its price, it is a no-brainer. -

- My wheel fits perfectly on this seats (and I'm not afraid anymore to break the table on which I fixed it before)
- I can use the screen in the living room (the biggest at home) without having to move the screen or putting in place a crazy installation.
I simply move the seat (with everything attached on it and cable tighten with the equipment provided), in front of the TV, plug the 2 cables (Power and USB), run a couple of races and then move it back to his closet.
Being able to store/hide the seat in a closed (or anywhere) is a life changer as the "lady of the house" is not complaining anymore about my stuff lying around :D

Being an average married 30 year old, my wife controls every aspect of my life, and thank god she let's me have an office where I can play video games with her permission, but she wasn't going to let me add a big non collapsible sim rig to the room. WHAT AN EYESORE she would think, and so that wasn't going to happen.
THANK YOU TO PLAYSEAT for making a rig which folds up to the size of about 2 folding chairs stacked on eachother, because of this I was able to slowly convince my wife to let me get the rig. My cables are long enough that all I have to do it's fold it up and move it off to the side of my desk when not in use, and I can unfold it and be back in action when I want to play in no time.
Now I'm heel-toeing like a boss, breaking all my old lap records, and looking good doing it.
Build quality is much better than expected given the low price, everything is very solid and I was even able to mount my shifter on the side with minimal wobble.
Can't recommend this thing more. Thank God I found out about it. -

The alcantara material is very nice and comfortable, I really like how compact and how easy it is to (un)pack it. Disconnect power adapter/usb put them inside the chair fold the chair, strap it on top, fold pedals, strap them - and that's it - can put it aside and clear the space.
I use it with G25 w/o shifter, Oculus Rift, racing in AC. Previously mounted G25 on computer table and sat on dining chair - obviously quite an improvement from that - also feel my times/consistency improved with it.

The outer packaging was slightly damaged, but the second inner box was in perfect condition. I unpacked it and had it assembled in about 15 minutes. The Logitech wheel fit perfectly and secured with the included bolts. I was able to adjust the angle of the wheel platform, sitting position, and distance to the pedals so it fit perfectly. I am 6'3" 220lbs. This thing was plenty big, and sturdy enough for me to flop into it. It was also adjustable enough to work for my 9 year old. If you are much bigger than me it may get a little tight. The seat is about 19 inches wide and around your knees, where the wheel supports come down, is about 16.5 inches. Your legs angle in toward the pedals at that point and it fits me well with a little extra room.
Everybody wanted to take a turn once I got it set up. The immersion is incredible between the force feedback on the wheel being passed onto the chair and the VR goggles. Did I mention this thing is comfortable? I told my wife to come check it out. The VR games made her sick to her stomach, but she comented on how comfortable the chair was. She said she wanted to watch a movie in it. I told her to get out and I got back to driving. She can get her own. For something that looks like a lawn chair in the box the Velcro straps across your back, molded headrest, and sturdy frame give excellent support. The wheel and pedals are held securely and allow you to really muscle them around without them going anywhere.
Storing it away is as easy as the other reviews say. Fold the frame, strap, fold the pedals, strap, and slide it into a corner. No more than two minutes. When you unfold it the side Velcro straps put it right back into the position you had it in previously.
For little more than a quality wheel stand, do yourself a favor and pick this up instead. -

This thing is awesome. Super comfortable, great quality alcantara, great mounting points for the T150 (with Ricmotech adapter), and it even included hardware! The only reason I was frustrated by that was because I went and got the exact same bolts it came with because I didn't realize it had them with it!
You can sit in the chair for hours on end and not worry about it, it doesn't get too hot, and there really isn't any noticable movement in the steering wheel plate.
10/10 would recommend, totally worth the price. Just buy the thing already, you know you want it! -

I do not have a dedicated room to play, so I needed a playseat really easy to install and to put away.
I need not more than 30 seconds to do it and to enjoy my Project cars2 in VR mode with a wonderful Logitech G920 controller.

The Challenge arrived in the USA in less that a week and was well packaged, double boxed, and in perfect condition. Assembly was a simple process and was completed by following the clearly illustrated and diagrams in the manual. There are no language barriers to overcome; just follow the pictures and adjust the seat to position of your choosing. My Thrustmaster 300 wheel fit perfectly with the pre- drilled holes that accommodate most major wheel companies' products. An allen wrench is included along with mounting screws so there is no hunting for tools in the garage.
As far as driving goes, I can drive for much longer and in greater comfort using this seat. It is quite stable, though getting in and out of the seat takes some getting used to especially when the chair is in a steeply reclined position like I use. Once you get some practice egress is easy (I am 65 so...). Once I got to driving I shaved two seconds off my best lap time at Abu Dhabi and I am consistently faster than I was with my wheel stand and chair. The wheel does move up and down a bit, but it is not noticeable while driving and blends with road surface irregularities and bumps quite realistically.
Setting the seat up and taking it down are faster and easier than my previous wheel stand and chair. It requires only one trip to the closet instead of two and everything I need to race is right there. I can't recommend this chair highly enough for anyone who needs portability, comfort, and more speed! -

My only complaint, and this is minor, is the mounting surface for the wheel base. It's fairly sturdy, but even so - when mounting a Thrustmaster T300RS-GT Edition, there is some up/down wobble when steering. I have never used a wheel before so I didn't know the base and wheel would be so heavy to cause this, but to be fair, it's about as sturdy as engineering will allow for a portable/fold-able chair.
It's not problematic when playing because you're immersed in racing and don't really notice, but in the future when I have more space I will absolutely get a full rig so the wheel feels rock solid. I get a bit enthusiastic when driving and tend to push/pull the wheel and I fear I may break the mounting surface eventually on this product.

Space is an issue here, and I was looking for something that I can easily stow away when not playing, and can quickly set up when I have 20-30 minutes to burn on the road. A friend pointed out the Challenge, and I shortly had one ordered.
Shipping was quick, setup was a breeze, and once I sat in and played once I can't seem to get back to the "casually grabbing a controller and racing a couple laps".
Totally worth it, and I was actually surprised by the build and fabric quality. Highly recommended. -

ich habe mir den Playseat wie warscheinlich die meisten gekauft da ich einfach keinen Platz für einen fest installiereten hatte und der Aufbau am Küchentisch
1. zu lang gedauert hat
2. nach einigen Stunden des spielens hatte ich wiederum einige Stunden mit meinem Rücken zu kämpfen
3. einfach keine optimale Sitzposition hin zu kriegen war.
Ich bin von diesem Sitz mehr als begeister !!! Warum?
1. Es ist kein Camping Stuhl !!!
2. Sehr sehr wertig und durchdacht konstuiert
3. ZUSAMMENKLAPBAR innerhalb von 2 Min auf bzw abgebaut
4. Fantastische Einstellmöglichkeiten bieten
5. Man den Sitz inklusive Pedale und Lenkrad einfach in den Schrank schmeißen kann.

Die Sitzposition ist gut, vielleicht etwas zu nah am Lenkrad. Das eigentlocje Problem sind jedoch die Pedale. Wenn man richtig hart auf das Loadcell Bremspedal tritt kann es schonmal vorkommen, dass aich die Pedale trotz Befestigung nach vorne, und sich der komplette Sitz nach hinten neigt. Etwas nervig, aber ich werde demnächst Mal etwas mit der Software einspielen, evtl kann man die Bremsen noch feinjustieren. -

Done. Yep. Assembly was a breeze. The instructions are illustrations only but it’s really pretty self-explanatory. Now that the chair was assembled it was time to adjust. A word to the wise: Do NOT attempt to adjust the chair whilst sitting in it. Unless you WANT to be splayed out on the floor with your girlfriend laughing at you. With that lesson learned I tried out several positions until I settled on a very laid back stance with my feet far in front of me. It’s amazing. I feel like a champion when I race now and my lap times have already improved. The fine alcantra suede really makes it a comfortable “ride” too. So far, I have zero complaints. Well, it’s a little hard to get out of sometimes but that’s not the chair’s fault. It’s my fault for making the position so low and for being 6 feet 2 inches tall and for not wanting to stop racing.
You know what else is great? I had a party the other day and needed space so I just rotated the steering wheel down and folded everything up and moved it into the closet. Easy peezy.
This is a great product and I encourage anyone that doesn’t have the space or money for a fully actuated racing dungeon to try this product. Tell ‘em I sent ya. (it won’t help you out, but they’re pretty nice anyway)

The Challenge seat was not much more than the stand in cost, but it was a life changer. It is very comfortable, you can play the game for much longer (the wife loves that...no she doesn't...) and it takes up less space (she does love that!). It folds up easily, can be tucked into a closet or behind a chair and it out of sight. It folds out in seconds, I slide it into place and I am locked into a 1,000 HP track monster tearing up Willow Springs. The feel is incredible, it is a night and day improvement, so much more realistic.
Someday we all hope to have a full sim setup with a nice Recaro seat, but until I hit the lottery and can afford that full blown set up with a house large enough to hold it, this Challenge seat is the winner winner chicken dinner! Race on! -

Decided to go on the internet and do some research. Long story short I found the Playseat Challenge read and saw countless reviews, some technical some not so much, got to the website and fired the trigger to get one.
Best decision ever!!! The Playseat Challenge is very well made, the fabric feels and looks amazing and it is incredibly comfortable for long driving sessions. It also has the benefit of being very easy to store under the bed or in a closet, so the girlfriend does not complain of your stuff being in front of the TV all the time.
So if you just got a wheel, want to properly drive your favorite super car and take it for a proper spin around SPA, don't even think about it and get this bad boy. NOW! -

From the couch if I setup the proper FOV in game, there was no way that I could play. So, my FOV was never correct.
In addition, sitting on the couch was uncomfortable and my back would hurt after a short while. I never played for more than 45 minutes because of that.
I also couldn't use a set of loadcell pedals I have on the wheel stand b/c there was nothing holding the stand so it would slide when I pressed hard on the breaks.
I finally decided that I would spend the money and buy the Challenge.
WOW. Now, life is different. Here are the highlights:
1) So much more comfortable. Be aware. Time will pass and it will be hours later before you decide to stop playing and that's probably b/c you must go to bed so you can get up and go to work the next day. Boy, I wish my work was to sim race :)
2) Setting up the correct FOV. Again WOW. In some tracks, my time has improved by over 2 seconds. In one particular track, I am over 3 seconds faster. Now, this is not a feature of the seat per se since you could do that by just sitting closer to your monitor on a regular seat, but for me, it is because I now have the Challenge that I can use in my living room and put away when I'm done (may hours later) and have my wife still be happy.
3) Who needs a butt shaker when you have this seat. Because of the construction of the seat, you feel the vibration coming from the wheel on your entire body. I find that so engaging and I believe it even helps with my driving since I know with my entire body what's happening with the car. But don't mistake the feeling of the vibration as a sign that the Challenge is poorly constructed. I've found the construction to be top notch.
4) I can use my loadcell pedals again. This in combination with the proper FOV is what has, I believe, contributed to the better lap times.
Here is the only negative that I found with the seat. There is no built-in way to place a shifter. I knew this so I bought the adapter with the Challenge. However, once I got it, I realized that the position of the shifter with this adapter would not be ideal. I decided to make my own mount. Ram Mounts to the rescue. I purchased the following items: Ram Zinc U-Bold 1-inch ball, Ram Mount Double Socket Arm for 1-inch Ball Bases, Ram Mount Motorcycle Brake/Clutch Reservoir Cover Base with 1-inch Ball.
Once I had these items, I placed the U-Bolt between the seat on the clamp on the right-hand side. I attached the double socket mount and the motorcycle mount to that. Then I attached the shifter to that using the table clamp that came with the shifter.
Final thoughts. Are you short of space and want to have a rig that is easy to setup and put away when done? BUY THE PLAYSET CHALLENGE. Is it better than your couch? Heck yes. Is it better than a desk chair? Heck yes. Is it better than a full-blown rig? If you don't have the space like I don't, heck yes.
BTW, it arrived to my house 2 business days (4 days early total) before the scheduled delivery date. I received it all the way here to the US in 4 days.
My current equipment:
Rig: Playseat Challenge
PC: Intel i5-6500, 16GB memory. 500GB SSD, 2TB HDD, GTX 1016 OC 6GB video card.
Wheel base: Thurstmaster T300RS
Rims: All Thurstmaster: Ferrari F1 Wheel, Ferrari 599XX Evo Alcantara, VG TX (never gets used)
Shifter: Thrustmatger TH8A
Pedals: Fanatec CSR Elite (oldies but goodies)
Sims I play in no particular order: Assetto Corsa, rFactor 2, Race Room Racing Experience, Automobilista, iRacing, and I'm looking forward to Project Cars 2.
Racing Level: I'm an average player. In every World Faster Gamer rFactor 2 trials I placed a bit better than 1/2 way every time. In iRacing I have a C license with a 4.97 safety rating and a ~1800 iRating (road, I don't do oval) after 2.5 months. -

Unfortunately the CSL wheel base has only one screw hole that matches with the template on the metal base, but the Playseat Challanges shipped with two huge strips of excellent adhesive velcro tape and that is enough to keep the base in place while driving and when I store it folded.
The seat is very comfortable. After spending about 6 consecutive hours in it (this says a lot about how much fun it is), the only thing that hurt were my hands!
The seat has many degrees of adjustability, so I'd really recommend that you take your time figuring out what works for you. My only complaint is that I wish that the pedal board could be positioned a bit higher above the ground.
The design is great, you can tell that every single detail has been thought out with the user in mind; whether it was to make it comfortable or easy to store or enjoyable, they didn't cut corners.
The alcantara is a nice touch!
Storing it away is extremely easy, it takes just few seconds after developing the muscle memory :) If your wheel base is bulky like mine, make sure to tilt the steering wheel all the way in, if not almost upside down. The only downside of folding it is that you will loose the pedals setting, but I'm thinking that with the right marker I could mark the position on the rods.
Enough for now, let's race!

It is perfect designed for small space and can be folded into a very small size. The best about this rig is that all the peripherals (i.e. the wheel, pedels) stay attached to the ri, even when folded.
I was also very suprized to see how stable it was. There is no movement that would feel wierd. I sit comfotrably in this chair even though i'm 2 meteres big.
The only thing that bothers me is the price. I would love to see that rig at a price of 150 €, that way it could fit perfectly between the higher positioned playseat evolution and conventional wheelstands.
I would recommend this product as an entry- Level rig and as a console rig. It is stable and drilled for most wheels on the market. I would definetly buy this product again and the shipment was fast and reliable. It only took two days to deliver to Germany. Great Product!!! -

So I was left with a fully foldable cheap racing seat option, and in the whole market Playseat Challenge was the one and only choice.
So I researched and bought it.
After 2 weeks of testing, I can give my pros and cons:
+ amazing stability, the wheel and the pedals are firmly in their place, neglegible moving/bouncing.
+ I can feel force feedback through all the seat construction
+ from fully folded to fully installed in less than 2 minutes
+ amazing foldability, very easy to store, even self-standing when folded
+ quite comfortable, I use it not only for racing, but also for other gaming and general PC usage
+ Quality of the materials looks very good
- the seat sometimes squeaks a little bit when not sitting still
- even with discounted price (200€) and despite the good build quality, it is still a little expensive. But hey, it's not mass produced so we can't expect amazing prices. -

With respect to price, being from Canada I purchased the seat from Playseatstore.com directly in USD. I thought it would be shipped from the US but it was actually shipped from the Netherlands. The shipping was about $40USD via FedEx which resulted in another ~$30USD of customs and brokerage charges. So be aware of this depending on your country.
On receipt it was packaged nicely in a large box. Instructions to assemble were straight forward and I had it setup in about 10 minutes. The hook-and-loop straps (Velcro) are thick and strong but the little cloth red tabs used to grip and separate the straps are flimsy. They ripped off immediately. So top tip, don't use those to undo the straps, just grab the edge of the strap and pull.
Once assembled the overall design and construction is well executed. It's much beefier than a fold-up camping chair. I like the small rod that extends from the left side to potentially offer added stability. The rotating hinge for the wheel mount bar is a substantial piece of plastic, but plastic nonetheless. As is the locking collar that secures the bar in place. I will be sure to be gentle on those pieces as a failure would render the steering wheel mount useless.
In terms of ergonomics there is a lot of adjustability but you cannot adjust the height of the steering wheel, only the plane or tilt of the wheel face. The pedal holder feels solid and offers nice fore and aft adjustability but no tilt. I did like that additional hook-and-loop straps were provided to secure the wires and keep things looking clean. Also the additional straps to hold it in the fold-up position are well placed.
In terms of adjusting the seat position it does require you to get out of the seat, adjust the arm straps and sit back down to test it out. A few times doing this can be tiring but once set it was set in a comfortable position and it won't need to be reset, unless for a different person.
The seat is much firmer than I thought it would be. With the straps holding the seat material to the frame taut it feels firm, almost on the hard side. I like the Alcantara but once you're playing you don't notice it. Time will tell if I experience any fatigue on longer sessions.
Overall, I'm satisfied and happy with the quality and performance of the Playseat Challenge, but given the price, shipping, and brokerage I'm blown away with the value. It's good, but not a steal. -

Enter the Playseat Challenge!!
Perfectly compact to store under the spare room bed yet sturdy enough to enjoy hours of gaming and repeated bashings from the dual motor force feedback in my Logitech G29 wheel, with no one to distract me or offer their unwanted reviews on my driving mastery!
The alcantara seat material offers a very soft and comfortable seat with a perfect driving position and strong pedal support, and all this with the ability to hide the seat away when your parents visit and may be fooled into thinking your still a teenager with your own gaming setup.
All in all, a great piece of kit and will transform any driving game you play whilst making you feel like you could smash any F1 driver on a good day!
Top-TIP!! Add a strong door lock to your man cave for an even better, uninterrupted gaming experience and while you are at that, clip on a cup holder to the frame to keep hydrated and cool!
Must buy for any gamer!! -

Wheels. Price points. Models, etc.
then I wondered, as I have always... "what about racing seats? aren't they huge, bulky and expensive?"... just a bit of clicking around and bam, I found this. The Playseat Challenge.
At first glance, just perfect. And it's not because of room - I have room for anything. But, it had all the potential. A great price point (that is, if you add a Challenge and a reasonable wheel it adds up to a comfortable price), the space saving always comes in handy (in terms of storage) and dare I say I was really actually intrigued, and pleased to see that it was .. well, looks great, comfy, with the smart materials where they matter. Soft touch at the top; that's where you'll touch. Strong yet just-right velcro straps where needed, and the right plastic/metal tube mix needed to offer you the lightweight and great price product.
Even the shopping experience (US east coast here). One day earlier than anticipated, so I was very pleasantly surprised when it arrived!
For reference, I use it with a Thrustmaster TMX with the better pedals, no shifter at the moment (happy paddle shifting but might get the shifter some day).
I hate to say I'm not sure I'd tell anybody dabbling lightly into this hobby to get any other seat than this one! (and if you already know more and lean to the higher end stuff, go ahead!)
Installation and packaging was top notch. Packaging was in my opinion above the price point. Every corner that could be damaged/knicked had foam or other protection on it. Installation is straightforward and for me perfect (maybe some people might want words not just pictures? but I think if you are capable of configuring wheel controls for video games you go this ;).
Finally, a data point. An eight year old is able to use it (with some pillows), as well as me (average height/build).
Kudos to Playseat for making this product! -

Setting the seat up was a breeze, it folds easily and takes up surprisingly little space. The directions weren't bad, although it might be good to add some descriptions of things since it all is pictures. It's totally comfortable during racing although long sessions start to cause slight pressure points right above my knees where my thighs contact the chair, but if I lower the angle any further to reduce that pressure then the headrest is in an awkward position and has too steep an angle. Still comfortable though, just take a break every hour or so you'll have no problems. With that said, it's very adjustable which is cool. I haven't had anyone else race on it besides myself but I know that I'd be able to adjust it to their height, etc.
I'm already experiencing the fabric popping out from behind the small plastic windows near the headrest and I've had to use a pointy object to kinda cram it back in there which was annoying to see after only a few weeks of it sitting around and maybe seeing 20 hours of use. Only a cosmetic issue but still, not a great sign considering my other qualms with this seat.
Also the latch point of the wheel mount cross bar immediately starts showing wear due to it making very solid contact when in the locked driving position. I don't think it'll cause any problems but I'm mildly concerned about the long term durability since there are metal parts contacting plastic parts.
Same goes for the wheel rotation position adjustment. Even when firmly in place there's a fair amount of wiggle room. It makes me feel slightly nervous about racing roughly (hard corners and whatnot) and I end up re-tightening the knob every 30 minutes or so just to make sure it's still in place. With that said, it's cool that this seat can adjust the wheel angle since plenty of mounts cannot.
Cord management is fine, and there are plenty of extra velcro pieces that you can use to tie cords where you want them to be.
The seat might feel flimsy and start to tip easily when you aren't sitting in it, but don't let that fool you. That's part of what makes this rig's overall design cool because it's solid as a rock when you're sitting in it. Your weight is vital to the stability of the seat.
I'm not the biggest fan of the way the chair adjusts the distance to the pedals. It appears to be just a single plastic pin on each side that "screws" down to hold the bars in place at the desired extension. I would much prefer a more concrete setting like it was locking into a hole in the metal bar (similar to the way the rotation wheel mount secures to the left side of the seat). I say this because I didn't turn them enough the first time and when I hit the brakes hard at one point during a race the whole thing started to lurch forward a bit and I had to pause in order to tighten things down into the correct position again. When I tightened the pins down harder than the first time it just didn't feel right because I feel like I'm gonna break the small plastic part. And they could still come loose easily and cause the same issue. Maybe I'm missing something obvious which solves that problem. I guess just beware, make sure you've got everything secured.
Solid seat, but I do think this thing is kinda pricey. I got it on sale, but the suggested retail is $270. If you can spare the extra ~$100 just get one of the Evolution seats unless the storage space of the Challenge is a must for you, since I bet the full seat rigs are much sturdier and solid. But if space is the concern you cannot go wrong with this seat.
I'm happy with the purchase. It definitely solidified my love of racing games since driving with a real wheel in a real seat is super awesome. -

Firstly, it arrived before the anticipated arrival date.
The seat build quality is surprisingly good. The many levels of adjustability means everyone - family and friends - can find a comfortable position. It is sturdy and stable - made all the more so, thanks to your body weight holding it down. It doesn't feel like a "portable" rig, but the fact that it folds out of the way is a major bonus!
My one criticism is minor - the manual uses pictograms, which are generally self-explanatory. But it comes with a bag of accessories (bolts, straps, velcro strips) whose functions are not necessarily obvious, if you've never used a steering wheel before. The manual could be a bit more explicit about their functions.
Overall, excellent value, without compromising quality and stability. I highly recommend it. All my mates who've given it a go are planning to purchase one too. -

But the challenge is super comfortable it sits up a little higher and you don't have a bar between your knees,
pretty solid, if I could change one thing it would like to be able to adjust the angle of the pedal stand but other than that for the price better than anything on the market. -
