My son on the other hands, a teenager of 15, is deeply in love with Formula1 and eSports. Your Playseat PRO Formula - Mercedes was his dream and once we got it home, I can certainly say it is a dream seat. And the look on my son's face seating on it for the first time, was priceless!
So, if you are a parent like me looking for a playseat, just go for this one! It is the best, as your kid will tell!
Last but not least, beside the comfortability and classy look, you'll benefit from fast delivery and a nice customer service.
A pleasure to be your customer, thank you! -

Delivery:
Although it was very busy with all online delivery’s all over the world, I got the whole package within a week, and that is with all Xmas days counting! So very speedy delivery. I couldn't wait to start unpacking and start the assembly.
Assembly:
The assembly went very smooth. The instructions were very clear (like Ikea :-) ) and it took me about 45 minutes to set it all up. I did it alone, but there are some moments where 2 people would be easier.
Comfort and adjustability:
I tried the seat and it felt like heaven!! The support is so much better than my previous seat. After setting it up with the Thrustmaster T300 I was ready for some racing. The adjustability of both wheel and pedalrest with the new Forcelock system is soooo easy and smooth! so setting up my preferred position was a breeze.
Using it in-game:
After doing a couple of races and driving for about 1.5h my back felt so much better because of the support it gets from the seat. Also the position you are in makes it much more realistic and immersive.
I changed to my stronger Fanatec set to test the strenght of the rig and it was more than I hoped for. No movement at all in the rig! not even with the pedalrest, while I installed the loadcell brakes with strongest resistance.
Positives:
Easy setup, comfortable, more immersive, strong, looks good
Negatives:
No real negatives, but some wishes :-)
Wishes:
Adjustable support legs would be very nice!
It is an investment, no denying that...but the only thing I regret with this buy is not buying it a year ago!

Due to the very detailed instructions, the assembly was completed in about 30min and I was able to try it out for the first time. What can I say; no comparison to the previous version. The stiffness of the complete frame is absolutely perfect, no warping or wobbling. The adjustment screws allow to adjust the seat to the size of the rider in a few seconds. The quality of workmanship is second to none, absolutely perfect and worth every euro.
So if you are planning to buy a racing seat and you have the necessary change, make sure you choose the Pro version of the Playseat F1.
Meanwhile I have already spent several comfortable hours improving my lap times in F1-2020, and thanks to the new seat I have already succeeded. -

We invested in a PC and Fanatec at Christmas and his seat had clearly become dated. He did a fair amount of research on the best seat.
Got to say, the seat is truly outstanding. Delivery and order process equally slick. Placed the order on a Wednesday at 10, and it was delivered before 10 on the Friday. Top drawer service.
Putting it together was both very quick, simple and fun. My son was racing within 45 mins.
He has a set up now with PC, a series of games including F1 and Assetto Corsa.
Basically, its absolutely knock-out all round! Really top drawer.
Looking at buying a second one so I can race him now.....

Upon arrival assembly was a piece of cake and the Fanatec parts fitted perfectly.
We are using it in the office to chill out inbetween work and got a lot of very positive feedback.
In average people spent 20-30 minutes on it (but they are free to use it ant any time) and see that it actually motivates them and helps to focus afterwards on their work even better then just a walk outside
Great investment -

Really well made and easy to assemble
I was surprised at how strong it is and the adjustment system for the pedals and steering system is brilliant -

My only negative comment is that there is no guidance on mounting the steering wheel/pedals. I worked out that the extra leftover screws were to mount those bits and how to position them is relatively self explanatory once the seat is assembled.
Set up and positioning of the wheel and pedals is easy using the rails and the locks are very sturdy, be careful when setting the height of the wheel as I could see this as chance to easily scratch the paintwork.
Overall I’m really impressed with my playseat, using it is is great fun, it’s really comfortable driving position and it looks fantastic. -

The first great surprise I had is that the frame is made of metal. The Fanatec DD1 bolted on straight out of the box and the pedals. The unit is more than strong enough to provide the rigidity for the DD1 and the Clubsport V3 pedals. My height is 188cm and I would appreciate a higher seat option but seat base padding is removable and without this the seat is great and comfortable. My brother worked in motorsports, both in F1 and F3, and he said this is what all drivers do in real race cars. Looking forward to many hours of iRacing in this cockpit. -

The quality of the build of the Playseat is really very impressive and even though it's a little pricey, I would say based on how sexy it is, it's totally worth it :)
If you love F1/F2 F10,000 THIS IS THE SEAT! -

This seat paired with an F1 styled steering wheel brings an ultimate sensation of driving an Formula style car.
The fit for me (6'4") is comfortable, only issue I can find with the seat is that the headrest digs a little into the base of my neck.
That aside this seat was relatively easy to put together having all the tools included in the box. My wife and I enjoyed putting it all together and then setting up the adjustable steering wheel and pedal bases to best suit us.
The Red Bull Racing livery on the seat gives the seat a high quality feel and looks great sitting in our living room.
Other thing I would recommend to any new buyers is to get a screen stand, as a monitor stand really adds to the immersion feel & experience.
Summary: This product is great for anyone wanting to experience what it is like to drive a formula car, without having to shell out the cash for an actual car. The fit and finish of the seat is second to none, along with friendly and supportive staff from the Playseat Store willing to assist with any questions about the product. -
