Waited to make a review of this rig to put it to the test. The rig itself is pretty sturdy and stable. I've done hundreds of hours of sim racing on it so far and the only complaints I have is how low to the ground it is to get into and the rubber washers that go on the back metal tube that the back of the chair sits on. The rubber washers have been worn out already and scuffed up and scratched the back of the chair. Other than that. I would definitely recommend the purchase. Pretty comfortable chair and pads that are removable and washable if needed. Pretty easy to assemble and overall a solid rig. I have a Fanatec wheel base mounted on it and haven't had any issues.

Upgrading from a wheel stand, I’m thoroughly enjoying the aesthetic appeal and feel of this seat. The platform offers a good degree of adjustability, and the materials used give it a solid and durable feel. As a larger person, the seat comfortably accommodated me, and the foam material made longer sessions feel great. However, I have a minor concern for VR users with bulky headsets like the PSVR2. The headrest might cause some discomfort during use. Fortunately, the setup was straightforward, and the tools were conveniently included in the package.

Really well made. Easy to put together. Pedals could be a bit higher, but just nitpicking now.

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.

Very happy with this. If I have one complaint it's that you cannot easily adjust the seat. (main reason it's not 5 star) Otherwise, it is comfortable and works great. I Can sit and race in this thing for hours! I would definitely recommend.

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.

Very solid rig. Looking at the pictures, I assumed the chair would have been a hard plastic, was happy to see it’s made of metal. Feels very sturdy with hard braking as well. Many options for pedal adjustment, tried a couple configurations to find the one I liked.
