Hi Everybody! I just wanted to write a review and share my thoughts. I hope that someone finds this to be the exact information they were looking for. Assembly - Okay, first and foremost, if you’re not mechanically inclined, I can see how it would be difficult to put together, as some people have expressed. I used to be a motorcycle mechanic, and even I found it a bit tough at times. It’s definitely a slight workout as well, and I was a bit sore the next day. Oddly enough, the two most difficult parts were assembling the steering wheel platform and attaching the upper portion of the seat to the lower portion. That being said, I found the instructions to be easy to follow. Comfort – I’m a big guy. I’m 5’11” and 250 lbs, or 113 kg. I was worried that the seat may be too narrow or uncomfortable. It’s neither of these two things. The back is wider than the Playseat Challenge X that I upgraded from, and once you adjust the seating pads in just the right way, it’s as comfortable as any chair I’ve sat in. In fact, I’m finding it to be more comfortable for long sessions than the Challenge X. Quality – The Formula Instinct feels solid and tight in every way it should. There is no flex in the frame, and I can really thrash it in races without worrying that I’m going to bend or even break it, as was the case with the Challenge X. Additionally, I don’t feel like I’m going to have to replace anything for years. I wasn’t so sure about the seat on the Challenge X. Appearance – The Formula Instinct looks amazing and makes me want to go race every time I look at it. Storage – This is the tricky bit. It fits in the same space I set aside to store my Challenge X. I didn’t fold the Challenge X; I only folded up the pedals and placed them behind the steering wheel, leaving the seating position in place. However, the Formula Instinct is heavy and unwieldy once the pedal and wheels are attached, making moving it by a single individual potentially tough. The combined weight of my new setup comes out to around 62.5 lbs, or about 28 kg. To give you a comparison, the total weight of my previous setup with the Challenge X was about 38 lbs, or 17 kg. I have found that if I release and lower the U-bar that the wheel is mounted on, down to the pedals, I can stand in the middle of the assembly and pick it up from the frame, like picking up a set of dumbbells, walking it over to where its reserved storage space is. Just remember to lift carefully. 🙂 Overall – I love it! It’s the best thing to ever have happened to my sim racing hobby. The seat is a little pricey, but I justified it as an investment that will last me for years to come. Amazon also has payment plans. Assembly was pretty easy in general but time-consuming, and in hindsight, an extra set of hands to assist in holding things in place occasionally would have been the way to go. It’s easy to get in and out of, especially if you lower and raise the U-bar as necessary. The Formula Instinct is comfortable and sturdy, even for a big guy like me. The Playseat Formula Instinct F1 has been a complete upgrade in every way. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I’m enjoying mine! Thanks for reading.

Before assembling, separate your screws and label them. This will make installation much easier. Don’t torque the screws down immediately or you will have difficulty aligning everything. The rig is sturdy and adjustable. It is also surprisingly comfortable.

I’m very happy with this seat. Good quality. Lot of adjustments. Very comfortable for 5,8” tall person. Very durable. Worth the money.

Great entry level simulator chair, comes with everything you need to get your setup right. I have logitec steering wheel and pedals. It even came with the bolts to mount the steering wheel and pedals. There is alot of adjustability as well.

Great sim cockpit. Very solid and very comfortable. However, I knew it would take a long time to build and I personally enjoyed that... I did have to deducted one star as it takes a lot of time to adjust to your liking. Very time consuming and at times frustrating if you're adjusting it solo. The way the seat adjusts front and back while having nonslip feet makes adjusting that part of the cockpit frustrating. Once set up though, adjustments made, it's sturdy as hell. Coming from a folding Next Level Racing rig to this is night a day. This now hold my Moza R16 and CRP 2 pedals. I do wish the way the pedal base connects to the rig was different and more user friendly. This alone to adjust the angle and distance took hours as there are only so many predefined adjustments in the support brackets. So you will adjust the length of the brackets and then sometimes have to mount them higher or lower on the pedal base. That was the most time consuming part after getting the seat adjusted to the right distance. Overall great sim rig. I would recommend it to everyone. But bring a buddy to help adjust quicker.

GREAT purchase for Formula 1 fans. My husband absolutely loves this set up and while it is a pain to put together - instructions are clear and ours came with everything needed and a few extras. It is quite heavy to move. Comfortable enough to sit in for a few hours if in the middle of a race. Great value for the price.

The quality is decent, but when trying to use load cell pedals in the F1 racing position there is signicant flex and the and it actually slides the pedal base forward. I have tried readjusting multiple times, but the clamp that secures to the frame on the left side is the problem and slips regardless of how tight you try to make it. If you don't plan on trying to recreate very firm braking, the cockpit is a decent value. The only other issue is everything has to be adjusted manually and almost requires 2 people. Once configured, it is pretty good, but if you plan on sharing the cockpit with someone else and you want to adjust it you should look at alternative options.

My husband had another seat that didn’t look nice, since it’s out all the time in our playroom I wanted something “attractive” and this hit the mark! It looks cool, is more comfortable, stable, the price for the piece is excellent.
