Reviewed in Australia on 1 July 2021

Great cockpit when you want something that you can fold away to save some space. It is also light enough to move it around. Pedals may move a little at times during very hard sudden braking. Overall, satiafied with this GT lite.

Postazione eccezionale, ma occhio alle viti della pedaliera.

Prima di tutto veniamo al voto, 4 su 5. Per me poteva anche essere 5 su 5, ma ho dato una stella in meno per questi motivi.

Non si tratta di una postazione portatile o comunque richiudibile. Se avete la fantasia di richiuderla ogni volta dopo l'uso e ficcarla in un armadio o nello sgabuzzino, scordatevelo.

Per chiudersi completamente si chiude, ma la procedura è complicata, al limite dell'assurdo. Soprattutto se avete montato il cambio manuale, quest'ultimo sembra avere una sua volontà di ostacolarvi in ogni modo. E in ogni caso, anche completamente chiusa è decisamente ingombrante. A mio avviso, una volta chiusa e riposta in un armadio, ma serve un armadio bello grande, smetterete di giocare, piuttosto che cercare di riaprirla.

Limitarsi ad abbassare lo schienale e alzare la pedaliera, è più che sufficiente a permettervi di posizionare la postazione accanto a scrivanie o TV. Ed é in quest'ottica che va acquistata. È una postazione mobile compatta.

Secondo difetto, le viti della pedaliera. Attenzione a non spanarle. Hanno delle lunghe leve per stringerle, il che sembra suggerire che una certa forza sia necessaria. Niente di più sbagliato! È sufficiente usare un dito per stringerle. Nulla si muove nemmeno durante le frenate più disperate, anche se le viti sembrano apparentemente tutt'altro che serrate. Purtroppo la lunghezza di queste leve fa troppa forza sui filetti, e dopo giusto un paio di regolazioni una delle 4 viti della mia postazione risulta ora completamente inutilizzabile, e gira a vuoto. Sarebbe stato più opportuno mettere una piccola manopola tonda, che avrebbe anche evitato la nefasta tendenza che hanno queste leve di agganciarsi ai cavi durante l'apertura.

A parte questi difetti la postazione è a dir poco fantastica.

È ampia, comoda, personalizzabile e soprattutto estremamente stabile. Oltretutto costa meno delle più economiche postazioni fisse. Postazioni che hanno il difetto di avere un palo in mezzo, e limitano il movimento dei piedi sulla pedaliera. Questa è veramente stabile, nulla si muove o si stacca durante la guida. È quasi come guidare in una postazione fissa.

Si tratta di un prodotto adatto non solo a chi vuole una postazione mobile e poco ingombrante, ma anche a tutti coloro che, pur non avendo problemi di spazio, desiderano un vero posto di guida ad un prezzo accessibile.

Da quando la uso, in una sola settimana, nelle gare online di ACC mi ritrovo a lottare spesso per le prime posizioni, mentre solo una settimana fa lottavo sempre intorno alla 15a-20a posizione.

Good But....

...be careful! I'm a bit chunky to say the least and after a thrilling first race in the racing seat playing GT7 I somehow ended up sat on the floor, still sat in the seat! Legs partly crushed and wheel pushing into my belly!
Not sure how it happened but it wasn't a pleasant experience. Managed to free myself out of the seat and it looks like I hadn't locked off the cams properly.

Make sure you lock them off fully and the levers facing down to avoid knocking them loose.

Seat is quite hard on the bot but overall, a good experience and at a good price for the casual racer.

Comes with all the fittings needed to mount your wheel and pedals, all adjustable. Just take your time setting it up and your good to go

Good item, well built and comfortable

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 April 2022

It’s shown as easy to build and assemble.
In theory it is, the instructions are good and clear, and I found good Old You Tube a great place to watch others.
The chair is good quality and made from strong robust materials and I’m well over 100kg and it supports me just fine.
After a few hours of use, it still was comfortable and stood up to enthusiastic gaming.
Cons
The build is not easy on your own and I would recommend that you have someone else to help you as once almost constructed it’s frustrating that it needs support whilst you tighten and adjust, as it collapsed several times whilst I made these adjustments.
That said, if you have the extra pair of hands problem solved.
Storage .. the instructions are useless and the video that is linked to this is incorrect and it’s really confusing how to collapse it down to store it.
But after watching several videos I worked out the best way for me to put it into a position to fold it and stand it up in a cupboard when not in use.
Once you get the hang of it again it wouldn’t be a problem.
The seat is adjustable for lean angles and make sure you understand that it’s a GT chair not an F1 racing position, so if your looking for a true F1 experience then the next model in the range will be the right one.
Pedals and wheel once mounted and infinitely adjustable and I got to perfect positioning within a few mins and once set folding it away for storage will not affect this once you come to set it up again.
All in all a great piece of kit for starting out and those like me who just want to have fun and don’t take their sims too seriously and just want a more involved experience.
I love mine, happy I made the choice to buy this one and would recommend it

Can’t recommend this enough. Really stable, if your serious about improving your times stability is key.

I live in a tiny flat so a bigger rig is not an option. This is the perfect solution. Even when I do buy a house and can have a dedicated games room I will absolutely keep this as a guest setup.

Quality construction and easy folding for storage. I’m expecting this to last years.

Take the time to get it set up right👍

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 April 2022

I was a little sceptical as similar rigs are significantly higher priced, but you can't argue with a decent review. Unless you just like to argue!!
It's pretty well assembled straight out of the box. Just a few screws and easily slotted in stands and attachments.
Take time to align and secure the adjuster joints in which configuration you desire. This makes it much easier to set the wheel and pedals to suit your seating position.
I would say, I am 5'9" and can configure it just right. If you are over 6', you may struggle to get the wheel far enough away to be comfy.
Excellent product and thoroughly delighted with bringing my lap times down.

Ya he tenido otras marcas y este en definitiva es la mejor opción

Paso una buena parte del día en el asiento ya que soy streamer y es muy cómodo y firme. Antes tenía el playseat challenge y si estás preguntándote cuál de los 2 comprar, yo que ya pude comparar ambos, definitivo el Next Level Racing GT Lite es el ganador. Tienes una postura más cómoda, mayor firmeza y estabilidad, además de que viene con la base para la palanca de cambios a diferencia del otro que no la tiene.

Me llegó antes de lo estimado y muy bien protegido, le doy 5 estrellas en todo.

Nice but firm... so so firm

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 March 2022

The rig itself is pretty good. But the seat itself is so firm its like sitting on the floor for half an hour after 10mins of racing...so sore you have to stand up and rub your cheeks back to life frequently. The supports on the back rest are so wide apart I sit between them with room to spare. I've had to buy a separate back support and seat pad so no more numb bum.

Actually took an hour to setup!

Reviewed in Canada on 2 May 2021

It took almost exactly an hour to setup! 😂

I tried to set it up as fast as I could but there's certain parts that take a minute to "warm up" I guess haha. The top part of the chair was one. It has to be aligned perfectly for it to slide into the wall of the chair.

The longest part for me was putting in the shifter mount. It wouldn't align properly until I just spun it back and forth as deep as it goes a few times.

I'm a hefty dude at 5'11 245lbs but I seem to fit in it just right. I will add a photo of the set up later but I thought I'd add in another positive comment.

I was sick of my desk and office chair arms getting in the way of everything and I finally have a good way to move everything around without ruining the positioning of the pedals and everything so it's ergonomically sound.

FYI for bonus immersion a subpac is pretty sweet to feel the cars vibrations. With vr you might poop yourself flipping a car in Dirt Rally 😂🤘🤘 happy racing everyone!

Incomodo para mi.

El producto en sí está bastante bien. El problema "mio" es que tengo una doble hernia discal. He probado varios ajuste del asiento, pero a las 1.5 o 2 h jugando,se me carga mucho la espalda. Se unde bastante en el respaldo y te quedas encorvado. Hay que poner una almohada a la parte lumbar. No tiene nada que ver con un asiento real de coche. Pero para una persona sana, esta bien,supongo.
