I was looking for a good quality set up to use for F1 sim driving.
I looked at various options available and decided that a Playseat was the way to go.

Then came the discision of which one to buy.

The range of Playseat products is excellent and there is someting for all budgets and needs.

I finally settled on the Evolution beause the more upright seating position if better for me personally.

It arrived very quickly and was quie easy and quick to set up.
Build quality is very good and it is sturdy without being too heavy.

I use the Fanated CSL Elite F1 and it fitted perfectly.
I have diven many laps on many tracks and find it is extremely comfortable.

My car control and speed has improved significantly since using the Evolution which is a big plus point for me.
I drive every week in a League race which means I am in the seat for quite some time so it is important to be comfortable to be consistent.

Would I recommend the Playseat Evolution?
Yes I would, and I already have!

My Playseat order arrived swiftly and well protected. It was easy to assemble and is very sturdy. Tried it out with my steering wheel as soon as it was up and it is comfortable for a good hour or so. Excellent product, worth the money, would recommend.

I recently brought the evolution white whilst struggling to find a good chair. This chair is perfect for me I love how it feels very similar to the seats in my car. I brought mine with the seat slider and gear shift holder which I would highly recommend to anyone semi serious about doing some sim racing/driving. Moving from a wheel and pedal stand and separate chair to this has been perfect, effortless setup and easy to swap the wheel over. 100% would recommend.

I’ve been sorely missing driving my IRL car, so decided to order a Playseat after trying to use a Logitech G29 without one (pro tip: don’t do this). The seat makes all the difference, and it’s kept me playing Gran Turismo & F1 2019 every evening since it arrived. My sanity is thankful.

I think that the Playseat evolution is a good budget way to enter the sim racing world l. Another upside is that it supports and wheel and is very sturdy. I would recommend my friends to purchase a Playseat because it makes games feel more immersive.

Iv been sim racing a few years, but using a wheel and pedal stand with a pc chair. Desided now was the time to finally get a seat and rig where seat position could be same all the time and so i dont have pain in my lower back if i did a endurance race.
So took the leap and placed my order. Really quick delivery and on time as per the tracker.
The putting it together was pretty straight forward. Id say toughest part is actually getting the pedal and steering colum positions just right but not to difficult.
Seat is lovely both in looks feel and comfort. Since getting the seat in the right positions for me iv even notice my lap times starting to get faster! So even better!
Overall this is a great product which i have no regrets making the leap and getting. If you thinking about this then you should go for it!

This is the 2nd Playseat I own, I have 2 setups in different rooms. They are perfect, plenty of adjustments and suit pretty much all wheel and pedal manufacturers, great value for money

I've had this for a couple of weeks now and I'm really enjoying it. It took around 30 minutes to fully set up and connect my wheel and pedals without any hassle, it even comes with a few extra screws to attach them. The seat is OK even though I'm not a fan of leather seats. All I all it's great value for money, I'd definitely recommend it.

Very pleased with my order from Playseat Store, I bought this as a birthday gift for my partner. It was delivered within the 48 hours as promised which I was surprised about due to the ongoing climate. I had tracking updates all the way up to the item being delivered. The item was double boxed and seemed to be easy to assemble (didn’t do it myself), took a few times for him to get the right seating position but once he had it, it was good to go. Would definitely order from here again and would highly recommend. Thanks.

This is my review of the Playseat Evolution and Gear Shift Holder PRO

By Harry Shreeve aged 14

Playseat Evolution and Gear Shifter PRO review

When the package arrived very shortly after purchase (very fast 48 hour delivery considering it came from another country) I rushed it inside to release it form its box. The wonderful looking seat was packaged perfectly and safely, leaving it impossible to become damaged. I removed the chair from its packaging and with a smile on my face I constructed the fine looking racing simulator. At purchase I was worried of the hours I would have to spend building it; however I soon realised upon installation that this was going to be a very quick task. The instructions were informative and easy to follow. I sat in the seat to test its stability and feel, however found myself struggling to remove myself from the seat due to its sheer comfort. I could sleep in it! I am typing this review whilst sat in it! When using the product you find yourself to feel just like you are sat in a real car, as it gives such a realistic feel, it really is the perfect racing simulator set up, a real 'must have item' for any car enthusiasts. Personally I use a wheel with force feedback (a Logitech G920) and was worried the seat would wobble when the force feedback chirps up like a raging bull, however the whole item is rigid and could take whatever the wheel could throw at it.

To summarise in one sentence I would say: A must have item, rigid, beautiful, comfy and perfect.

Purchasing the seat was simple and quick, you just search your item click on it, add to basket and safely and securely order your fabulous new racing set up. But there is more! You can buy accessories to further improve your already awesome Playseat, for example you could take it up a notch (in terms of realism) and purchase the seat slider which gives you the ability to move your seat back and forth just like a real car! This is also handy if your mates or any visitors fancy a drive on the rig, and they are taller or shorter than you, this is the perfect accessory to easily change the height, so anyone could use it! Also, if like me you have a gear shifter there is the Playseat Gear Shift Holder PRO which is firmly secured onto your Playseat and is adjustable for anyone who wants to use it. The Gear Shift Holder is very stable and refuses to wobble no matter how rough you are with it!

So finally what would I rate this perfect product on a scale of 1 to 10? 1000000000000000 is what I would rate it. It really is the perfect racing simulator from Playseat.

Thank you Playseat for this wonderful package, with amazing value for money. It is the best birthday present money could buy.

I finally decided to go for it and order myself a playseat, not knowing that 2 days later the whole country would go into lock down due to the coronavirus pandemic! Somehow it still arrived the following week, one day ahead of schedule even, and it certainly has got some good use already during this strange period.

I've had a steering wheel and pedals for almost 2 years now, but due to not having anywhere suitable to mount them and not finding time, I have barely been able to enjoy them. Now thanks to Playseat I finally can do that, and I really am enjoying it so much, maybe even more than I thought I would. I only now wonder why I waited so long to buy one...

Regarding the seat itself, I am very happy with the product. It is comfortable, it's got full adjustability to get the right position, and it's very sturdy despite being more towards the lower end of the market in pricing. I do fully recommend it to anyone considering buying one, particularly if you are not able to or don't want to spend the money on a more expensive setup.

As others have said, the assembly was very straight forward and I had it all ready to go in under an hour, including with the seat slider that I purchased additionally. It handily comes with all the tools you need (a couple of Allen keys) and even extra bolts for mounting the pedals. That part was the only bit that I had a little difficultly with, which was aligning the holes of the pedal plate to my pedal unit (g29) but for now I have attached it through the lower row of bolts only (there are 2 rows on this unit) and it feels very strong and secure.

Overall, a very happy customer!

This totally changes how you play and enjoy the game. The very best value in simulator setups, hands down. You simply can't beat the quality for the price. Smart design, well built, simple.

After doing research and deciding on the Evolution there are no regrets. The seat just plain works. The seat is comfortable. The set up was easy, the Logitec G29 fits, though 2 holes for the pedal didn’t quite line up- no big deal. I share the seat with my kids and it takes seconds to change/adjust the seat for driver changes. We got the seat sliders as well and fell that completes the setup nicely.

First I would like to say this is my second playseat. My previous seat was the challenge i love this seat because it was foldable and it huge me. It was very comfortable. That said the playseat Evolution is very strong and sturdy and easy to assemble. The instructions was easy to follow. But take a little time getting ues to, the seat is wider and easy to get in and out of. I also love that you can adjust the pedals. Overall my racing lap times have decreased, i don't know if it's because of the new seat but i do think it probably because I am very comfortable. Love it!!

I was after a gaming seat to suit a rather unique set-up and the specification of the playseat evo looked (and is) perfect. The seat is comfortable for extended periods of time, the build quality is very good, no wobble or play in anything. The assembly instructions were easy to follow and it didn't take long to put together. Oh and it looks great.

On a side note I found the customer service team to be friendly and helpful.

Highly recommended

When the 1st shipment arrived I think the Fed Ex Driver was more excited than me. I has able to put it together with a little help in less than 1 hour. The seat slider was a little tricky but got it done and it works like a charm.
I had ordered the mat but I didn't arrive with the 1st shipment, but was there the next day by the same Fed Ex driver. He was excited to know how I liked the seat, so I invited him in to check it out!
He loved the seat and mentioned that he did flight simulation and was gonna check out Playseat!
The mat really finished it all nicely and will save my flooring.
GREAT PRODUCT

After many years of non playing video game, this year is a Reborn for me with E-racing. I was playing Gran Turismo, 20 years ago, and now i re discover Gran Turismo with a Playseat Evolution and a T300RS GT.
A New Era of video game is in front of me with this kind of equipment.
All the material is installed since 2 days, so it is a little bit too early to have a right opinion.
I already have ideas to upgrade my Playseat.
I will share my upgrade soon...

Cant believe the difference having this wheels makes. Times on the track are getting better and better and I was good on the controller before the wheel. More realistic feel especially with the feed back the wheel gives. Build quality is excellent really sturdy and comfortable, can sit on the chair for hours. It's a must buy for anyone that's into racing games. Wish I bought it sooner

I’ve been using the playseat for about 1 month now. Setting it up was straightforward and took me about 30 min. Thrustmaster T300rs could be mounted on it easily.
The racing experience got so much better with this Playseat. No more back- or legpain after multiple hours of racing. The seat barely moves while driving.
Materials used are very decent and durable. This is a one-time buy (until you want to upgrade ofcourse).
The seat can easily be adjusted from small kids to tall adults.

Super excited to have this. The price was great especially as I compared to many other options on the market. Even shipping from 'over the pond' was quick and not super expensive.

The seat arrived more promptly than expected. It was a little tricky to put together, I could have used an extra pair of hands. The seat slider made it harder but was worth it.
The driving position is good and my logitec wheel and pedals attach to it firmly.
The centre post impedes the brake pedal very slightly but thats a minor gripe.
I haven’t used it at length and I’m a heavy guy so can’t vouch to how it stands up yet but so far, i would recommend this product and i would buy it again.

Aconselho vivamente a quem tenha algum espaço em casa e goste de simulação. A posição de condução é extremamente importante para uma condução rápida... e é muito mais divertida!
Eu uso o meu G29 da Logitech e adapta-se mesmo muito bem ao Playseat. Muito contente com a compra. Recomendo a todos este produto!
