Got this cockpit, I can finally call it a "rig" right? Here's the start of many more expensive things to come!

As a fellow Playseat Challenge owner I can recommend seatbelt-pads for the straps on the side for extra comfort.

I'm surprised reviews have been so overwhelmingly positive. I find the wheel base to shake all over the place when I'm driving, although the pedals stay put nicely. Seat adjustments are limited by the strap system, for instance you can't really adjust your height relative the wheel without also chan...

I present the "it's not much but it still took me 100 hours to put together" rig

Quality metal wheel “table” that folds out of the way, pedal bar with that adjusts. Really, you could do much wor...

When I first viewed our current property with my partner, I opened this closet and joked “if I ever get into sim-racing, I’ll turn this into a racing den”. Over a year later, I did, so I have.

Nice one 👍🏻 As a fellow Playseat Challenge owner I can recommend seatbelt-pads for the straps on the side for extra comfort.

Perfect sim seat for the space conscious.

Seat is fairly comfortable after some adjustment using pretty good quality velcro straps. But the best part about this seat is how small it folds. As someone with a very small play area, the playseat challenge is a life saver. It takes all of 2 minutes for me to slide it out of where I keep it, unfo...

F-GT Lite is uncomfortable. Am I the only one?

If that makes you feel better, Playseat Challenge was terrible for me, had to part with it. Unless you fit in the “average” crowd those things are made for, adjustable rigs are the only way to go.

Good foldable cockpit with one flaw

It's very nice for the price and folding functionality. Only complaint is that if you press the brake hard enough, the middle of the chair will lift off the ground.
