I tested it for few hours since i bought it ( appro 80h).

And my conclusion are:

-Everything is well made,with good materials
-The gear shifter holder is very solid and well designed.
-The bucket seat is very confortable (i was a bit sceptical about it at the begining,cuz i have back problems, but it s great. :)
- to be honest, I haven t bought the playseat slider, and it s the only mistake i have made, i create the setup for myself, and when mates wants to plays, it s not easy to adapt the setup for differents sizes.

But to make a long story short, I should have bought it before, when you like to drive, it s a great experience.

After a few weeks of clamping my wheel to desks and chairs I took the plunge on a new designated playseat and it has revolutionised my experience with the wheel.

I no longer have to worry about wobbly mounting and moving pedals, you can 100% concentrate on your game. My laptimes have fallen and I'm able to play in comfort for longer periods of time without losing concentration.

The seat looks great too and has tidy cable routing making things generally look more tidy in the room.

I would 100% recommend the playseat to anyone with a wheel, I don't know how I lasted so long without the a proper set up!

So I just bought one Playseat project cars edition and a floor mat, after searching on the stores in my country and the answer was "we ran Out of that one" in all of them, I went ahead and ordered from Playseatstore. I was counting with 2 days to have my seat but it didnt make it in time because of the weekend. Monday comes and I call envialia and ask them if I can go on their wharehouse and pick the products myself. I was so excited that I didnt wanted to wait any longer. And it all worth it. amazing products and very fast delivery, the only wrong thing was me, I always want everything for yesterday! Lol
After all Set, me and my friends are having a blast on dirty rally. To the staff Thanks for all the help and patience with me. For all of you out there if you have a wheel and no seat, dont think twice. Get yours today and your whole experience will improve tons.

Orderd my playseat Project Cars, with the slider and the floor mat, waited a couple of days and BOOM... Hello mr postman :) Took me a little hour to set everything up. I was really impressed about the quality. My alcantara seat is a dream to sit in (easily adjustable), the stitching is amazing and the feel when I put in Project Cars and started racing is divine. The slider already came to good use, when my daughter wanted to drive on Spa (my favourite track). And the floor mat keeps everything perfectly in place. Best present I bought for myself in a long while.

After a great deal of consideration (I already had a older Playseat Evo) I looked around the racing seat market, but could not find anything close to the Playseat Project Cars Edition.

I wanted an Alcantara material seat - long racing sessions get hot! - and my existing one was vinyl. I also wanted the newer style seat with the head protection.

After a quick online chat with the customer team online, I ordered from Playseat's store online, as I couldn't find this model within the UK.

The unit arrived just a few days later from the Netherlands, packaged in a outer box, with the actual playseat box inside. Superb packaging inside meant nothing was marked or damaged.

Just an hour of assembly to put the seat together, and then fit my Thrustmaster T500 and pedals, and some tidying of the cables (plenty ties are supplied for nice cable management) and I'm racing. Tip: Make sure you have tightened the main bolts, and re-check regularly, as any movement and flex indicates they could use more turns.

The new setup is SUPERB, no other word for it. The seat is comfortable even for long endurance races (my first race was a 2 hour endurance in Project Cars!).

The seat package has met all my hopes and expectations and is amazingly detailed and well designed.

I cannot recommend this enough, such an improvement over desks and wheelstands etc, it really is worth the outlay - it will return it in fun ten times over!

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!

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 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!

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.

The build quality is good. The only issue is the steering holder sits in between your legs which is a little troublesome to access the brake pedal.

My Project Cars themed Playseat arrived just in time for when I would be spending a lot more time indoors to use it. Assembly is easy it took about 30 minutes and needs two people for one bit of it. I fitted a Logitech G920 wheel and pedals to it. They are screwed on so there is no lateral movement no matter how hard you are braking. It is completely adjustable so everybody in my family has used it. Overall it is a great bit of kit and I would recommend it to anybody.

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!

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.

My Playseat Project Cars has been the best purchase towards my sim setup. I recieved it yesterday (right on time) and set it up. Putting it together was incredibly easy and took only about 20 minutes. Once I set it to my driving position I knew it was a game changer. It's very stable, so I was more confident in being able to press the brake pedal harder, fight the force feedback harder, and every time I get in, it's all exactly where I left it. After a couple sessions both me and my buddy noticed a huge cut in our lap times, along with an incredible amount of consistency. He hit the brakes to his comfort, and found himself at a dead stop by the time he hit the corner he could hardly make before. I noticed myself that my lap times on GT3 racing were cut by approximately 6 seconds while he cut 12 off his F1 racing. Its comfortable, looks amazing in my living room, and has made my sim racing feel that much more realistic and enjoyable. I would suggest this sim seat for any casual sim racer that wants to up their game. Plus the alcantara feels A1! You will forget about the money you spent by the second lap, believe me.

ENGLISH (by google :P)
Tempted by two my fiends (who also have a PlaySeat), I decided to buy me one. Driving with a chair with wheels was becoming unnerving (not to mention the pedals going for its facts), so the transition to something more specific was inevitable.
Well, I was expecting a lot from this product (even if, looking at how it was done, I had some doubts), but I think it is slightly overpriced. Ok that Playseat is practically the only one that makes similar positions and that the sponsor obviously wants its percentage, but 400€ are undoubtedly a lot.
- Beginning with the seat, I find it very uncomfortable: putting an adjustment for the inclination it had to be a must (not so much of the backrest, but of the whole seat, with the legs much higher than the seat, like the F1 version). When you "lie down", in a racing position, you have to bring your butt forward, and after a while this causes discomfort in the back.
One of the sliders makes a little noise when you lean back with a certain intensity on the backrest, but it rarely happens while driving.
- The design is very nice, perhaps the most beautiful of all the "racing" PSs. But maybe I would have put the covers back and forth too: seeing that hole under the seat is not the best.
- There are many adjustments: it is possible to adjust the position of the pedalboard from the seat and its inclination, as well as the steering wheel that can go back and forth and up and down (or to be precise, diagonally). With the slides, included in the bundle, there is an additional possibility of adjustment, but I think it is more useful to facilitate access to the seat. In my opinion, as written before, there is missing something that makes the seat tilt to make the seat more comfortable.
- It is possible to put the cables inside the tubes to avoid keeping the wires exposed, even if I would have opted for a slightly more practical system, so you don't have to dismantle everything if you change a some components.
- Stability is a little weak: when you do some sharp maneuvering, the structure tends to move, and I only have a G25 ... let alone with a Fanatec! Surely the seat is not made to be kept on the floor but on a fixed structure.
- The possibility of transport is good, being able to disassemble (unscrewing) the part of the steering wheel/pedals so as to divide it into two pieces. It is also possible to recline the backrest forward for an eventual car transport. Of course, for what it weighs there is to be careful not to get hurt in the back: they had to use some lighter materials for some pieces ...
- The resistance seems to me very good: it will surely last all my life even using it every day.
- Commendable the possibility of being able to remove the covering of the back and of the cushion for a possible cleaning (or eventually for a further personalization)
- In general, however, it is a good position: in addition to the whim, it seems to have given me a little more consistency throughout the race, not having to think about the chair, the pedals, the gearbox and the steering wheel instability and being in a more comfortable position. They have only to improve something here and there to make it perfect (and to be worth what it costs).

_____________________________________________________

ITALIAN:
Invogliato da due miei "colleghi" di un torneo esport, decido di comprarmene uno anche io. Guidare con una sedia con le rotelle stava diventando snervante (per non parlare della pedaliera che se ne andava per fatti suoi), quindi il passaggio a qualcosa di più specifico era inevitabile. Beh, mi aspettavo molto da questo prodotto (anche se, guardando come era fatto, nutrivo un po' di dubbi), ma reputo invece che sia leggermente sovrapprezzo. Ok che la Playseat praticamente è l'unica che fa postazioni simili e che lo sponsor ovviamente vuole la sua percentuale, ma 400€ sono indubbiamente tanti... troppi.
- Cominciando dal sedile, io lo trovo scomodissimo: mettere una regolazione per l'inclinazione era un must (non tanto dello schienale, ma proprio di tutto il sedile, con le gambe più alte rispetto al sedere). Quando ti metti "lungo", in posizione racing, devi portare il sedere in avanti, e questo dopo un po' di tempo da' fastidio alla schiena.
Una delle slitte poi fa un po' di rumore quando ci si appoggia con una certa intensità sullo schienale, ma capita raramente quando si guida.
- Il design è molto carino, forse il più bello di tutte le PS della stessa fascia di prezzo. Però io magari avrei messo le coperture anche avanti e dietro: vedere quel buco sotto il sedile non è il massimo.
- Le possibilità di regolazione sono tante: è possibile regolare la posizione della pedaliera dal sedile e l'inclinazione, così come il volante che può andare avanti e indietro e su e giù (o più che altro in diagonale). Con le slitte, incluse nel bundle, si ha un'ulteriore possibilità di regolazione, ma secondo me serve più per facilitare l'accesso al sedile. Manca secondo me, come scritto prima, qualcosa che faccia inclinare il sedile per rendere la seduta più confortevole.
- E' possibile far passare i cavi dentro i tubolari per evitare di tenere i fili a vista, anche se io avrei optato per un sistema un po' più pratico, così non si è costretti a smontare tutto se si cambia qualche componente.
- La stabilità non è granché: quando fai qualche manovra brusca si muove tutto, e ho solo un G25... figuriamoci con un Fanatec! Ecco probabilmente perché hanno tolto la possibilità di comprarne uno in bundle. Sicuramente la postazione non è fatta per essere tenuta a pavimento ma su una struttura fissa.
- La possibilità di trasporto è buona, potendo smontare (svitando) la parte del volante/pedali così da dividerla in due pezzi. E' possibile inoltre reclinare in avanti lo schienale per un eventuale trasporto in macchina. Certo, per quel che pesa c'è da stare attenti a non farsi male alla schiena: dovevano usare dei materiali un po' più leggeri per alcuni pezzi...
- La resistenza mi sembra molto buona: sicuramente mi durerà tutta la vita anche utilizzandola tutti i giorni.
- Lodevole la possibilità di poter togliere il rivestimento dello schienale e del cuscino per un'eventuale pulizia (od eventualmente per un'ulteriore personalizzazione)
- In generale comunque è una buona postazione: ti permette di toglierti un bel sfizio (anche se a caro prezzo) e darti un po' più di costanza lungo l'arco della gara, non dovendo pensare alla sedia , alla pedaliera, al cambio e al volante che si muovono (e anche al fatto che se li stringi troppo rischi di spaccare qualcosa) e stando in una posizione più confortevole. C'è solo da migliorare qualcosa qua e là per farla diventare perfetta (e valere quel che costa).

Beh, era da tempo che cercavo di realizzare la mia postazione racing definitiva, dopo aver visto quella di un amico sempre basata su Playseat Evolution Alcantara, ma con l'aggiunta del sistema di movimento con attuatori... troppo bello ma troppo costoso.

Acquistato Oculus Rift per un'immersione TOTALE nella simulazione, a questo punto ho trovato il sito PlayseatStore e ho cominciato a cercare di capire quale sedile fosse adatto a me, considerando anche il prezzo. Mettendo a confronto i vari prodotti anche con altri store online, ho alla fine scelto la versione Evolution, griffata Project Cars, dato che amo quella simulazione. Inoltre mi sembrava avesse un look molto "racing".
Ho quindi scelto di prendere il sedile, e come accessori aggiuntivi, il supporto per il cambio e il tappetino, per non danneggiare il pavimento durante le sessioni più accese di gaming.
L'ordine è stato velocissimo, la comunicazione con lo staff pure, e incredibilmente l'ordine è partito come dicono nelle 24 ore successive all'ordine.
Qualche giorno di attesa e il corriere FedEx ha bussato alla mia porta.

Meraviglia, la confezione contiene tutto, ma proprio tutto ed è incredibile che il sedile e i suoi accessori possano stare tranquillamente dentro quella scatolina.

Che dire di più, montare il tutto ha richiesto circa un ora di lavoro piacevole, il settaggio dei cavi del mio volante Logitech G920 e del cambio, una mezz'oretta circa e alla fine il risultato è stato ottimo.

Il sedile è bellissimo e la qualità costruttiva dei vai componenti è top.

Adesso sto aspettando di completare il tutto con il Buttkicker per avere le vibrazione del motore e rendere la simulazione TOTALE !
