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!

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 !
