I wear a simple cap on my head for TrackIR v5 It's related to VR in a sense. I used to use it in my Flight sim gig. But once I got turned on to cars, I hung up my wings, but I still employ the head tracker in Race Sims. I can also recalibrate it and position myself quite well in the car. Back forward , up or down within plenty of reason. This stuff here sure is cool! Nice vid!
Awesome review. We always get the straight information from your channel. That my friend, makes you a trustworthy source and when racers are spending hard earned cash on peripherals, it is nice to know you can trust the reviewer. I almost have my rig complete. Looking forward to sharing a video of it with you. Thanks brother and be safe!
What surprises me is from your footage, the back of the seat actually flexes quite a bit more than i thought it would when pressing the brake pedal. This surprises me because I would have thought that would add a lot of hysteresis to the brake pedal input, affecting brake input accuracy and consistency. For comparison, Versteppen uses the Recaro Podium carbon fibre seat which i think he uses so he has a very stiff yet still comfortable enough seat for minimal hysteresis with brake input.
Are you sure that what you see as seat flex isn’t his motion system. That said motion systems will make you slower, so on balance, your core point is still probably correct, but it may not be the seat that’s the cause.
The pollster glass seats have that flex and I have the same with the Sabelt as well! I was pressing hard with both legs for the video just to sow clearly the movement of the fans but even pressing 60kg brake pedal I can see like 1cm flex on every seat I ever tested! I think Kevlar and carbon are with minimum flex but the prices there are stupidly expensive 😁 About brake performance, I don’t know if that will make any difference for GT cars. For F1 it may but I’m not sure!
Main problem with the seat, according to many people who've had it, is that after a year the mesh gets a bit "clogged" and it doesn't ventilate as well.
I will check that in the next months as I’m seating a lot in the seat. I think it makes sense to have the problem but the question is if it will totally bottleneck the air or will just need higher rpm’s as right now 2 out of 6 stages is mere then enough to me ! Let’s see how it goes
This is a great feature, it really gets hot on long races. Im currently looking for a solution, this looks great, ill be checking prices. Its crazy how much work you put into your viedeos, swaping a seat can get pretty tricky.
@@chepilevski yeah I perfectly relate to that, it is as fun as driving itself, but you must get tired of how much you do it. It is worth it for all of us though! Btw, did you go to the races this weekend?
@@jufejufinho that’s true, sometimes is too much 🙈 About the races, do you mean on Nordschleife? I haven’t go anywhere but I sow Jimmy Bilstein team won with the new BMW GT4 in there class 😃
Hi ! First of all. Your setup is gorgeous !!! I started simracing 1-2 month ago, and I LOVE IT !!! Your content gave me an idea. I want to create an immersive setup just like yours ! The only problem I have is that I run a single 34inch monitor atm…do you think it is possible for me to create an immersive setup like yours ? Thanks !
great vid as always ! you realy make your vids like mini movies . i just got a Next Level Racing ERS3 it was in my price range and its great i like sweeting it makes it a little more real but also i dont make long races . off topic what are your monitors please , thanks
nice video! heyy i remember a long time ago, you uploaded a video where you put a dashboard on a steering wheel? im not sure, but i just want to do the same for my wheel and im looking for inspiration :(
i wonder if anyone will design a seat that had a mesh back like a office does. i think thatll be more ideal in terms of air flow for our backs from seating for a long period of time.
My seat is like a torture device, sit in it for 2 hours my lower back is locked solid when i get up. Didn't pay getting a seat on sliders as they are a nightmare to setup
Yeh man, you need lumbar support and you will solve that problem! Just make sure to fill the gap there with some memory foam and you will be surprised how much better will become 🤛
I'm still using the seat that my Rseat S1 came with...not great for a big (big not heavy) guy...I want to take the plunge, but I worry that it won't last...I would like a seat that can take at least three years of daily pounding...thoughts on this?
Honestly i mostly look at the car’s dashes and all the DDUs around are gimmicky just for fun😁 Definitely most of the cars in iRacing have the info I personally need 🤛
look is awesome , but i´m not a huge fan of full racecar like bucket seats , maybe my ass is too fat 🤣. i have an halfbucket sports seat from an merc. slk , which i got on used market for cheap, on my rig.😊
im inbetween mirco rs1 3D and omp ars-r, but i get so hot in the current velour seat that i need a towel on the seat. but i hear the fabric on the o rouge doesnt last long
I can’t report that right now and I guess there will be some difference in one year from now but for the last two months it works just as day one 🤛 Let’s see after few more months! I will definitely revisit that
As I’ve said I have that habit to put my head ahead and then turn around and was very natural movement for me which I created from my helmet being attached to hans system but I guess without head protection must be more optimal! I personally like seats with head protection as I can rest my head 😁
@chepilevski love that too.. makes it even more realistic. However my headset is the pimax crystal and that thing sticks out like the wings of a plane. And leaning with the back of your head against the seat is also a no no... making it heavy on your neck when doing long races.
@@channelvr1293 man, that headset is monster 😁 Definitely go for open seat. I hope to get the chance to test that headset soon and I’ve heard is the best from visual quality. Still on RTX3090 but ones the RTX 5090 is out hope no headset will have problems anymore
Hello! Im pretty new to sim racing and im building my very first sim racing “desk” setup with table clamp. And im not quite experienced so i wanted to ask if there is any DD wheelbase + GT3 wheel + any pair pf pedals for under 700€ (im poor student working only on weekends). Nice video!
There are many options like Fanatec, Moza and right now I’m testing the Camus C12 with there new pedals which can be super good option for your case for around that price and still having 12nm torque with nice wheel and load cell pedals !
Enjoy the sun in the summer with NO RACING and then this seat is not needed BUT we can’t stop racing. Racing 24/7 🏁😅
We can’t bro 😁
What a great looking seat with unique features. I've just got a new VW polo seat in my DIY rig. A bit different to this beauty.
Thanks for your work! Didn't thought, that ahere are ventilated sim seats. As always learned something new from your videos :)
Yeh man, sim is going crazy 😁

Thx for the supportive words buddy 🍻
Great video like always really enjoyed it 👍
Thanks buddy 🤛
Have a great week 😃
Ah, now i want to get that seat. This morning i was just dreaming of getting Simucube active pedal :D
nice seat, make sure you don't fall asleep in it while driving long races😉
🤣🤣🤣
Too much action to do that bro 😁

@@JonFestinger at 5:22 there is no motion system active when he's pressing the brake pedal.
@@DrR1pper Yikes then.

Real seats in real cars move under braking and handling. Watch any cockpit videos. C'mon 🙄
Interesting video as usual. For visualising airflow, I like using a lit incense stick.
That’s great idea 😃

Absolutely buddy!
It is all about isolating your self from the room and add few things to feel you are in a car🤛
great vid as always ! you realy make your vids like mini movies . i just got a Next Level Racing ERS3 it was in my price range and its great i like sweeting it makes it a little more real but also i dont make long races . off topic what are your monitors please , thanks
Sweating can be also healthy 😁
The monitors are Iiayma 32 1440p 144hz curved 🤛
@@chepilevski thank you .
nice video! heyy i remember a long time ago, you uploaded a video where you put a dashboard on a steering wheel? im not sure, but i just want to do the same for my wheel and im looking for inspiration :(
Did you have the video planned before I shot you the messages about seats on facebook mate? 😄 Nice vid, as always!
😁 happy if that helped buddy 🍻
I got the trakracer GT seat... it's not that great. It's ok when it is tilted back but I will be getting a new seat at some point.
i wonder if anyone will design a seat that had a mesh back like a office does. i think thatll be more ideal in terms of air flow for our backs from seating for a long period of time.
That’s interesting idea indeed 😃
@@chepilevski
please, i beg you, tell your industry friends!
#1:00 isend that just more immersion u canot turn ur head when u have helmet and hans and u are strapped to the car
True
My seat is like a torture device, sit in it for 2 hours my lower back is locked solid when i get up. Didn't pay getting a seat on sliders as they are a nightmare to setup
Put a lumbar support on your lower back

As always pleasure to watch your reviews,you put so much work in to make these videos
Thank you👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
🤗
Do you still have this setup with the back slot of the side brackets being at the lowest point and the front the highest?
Do you feel the in game dash is good enough in most cars on IRacing etc instead of a DDU mate?
Honestly i mostly look at the car’s dashes and all the DDUs around are gimmicky just for fun😁
Definitely most of the cars in iRacing have the info I personally need 🤛
@@chepilevski nice. Thanks
jeez €850… this sim racing rigging is turning out to be crazy expensive
look is awesome , but i´m not a huge fan of full racecar like bucket seats , maybe my ass is too fat 🤣.

Conversational seats can be good choice as well buddy 😃

Need a seat for my 6dof build...but using VR all the time not sure if the side skirts next to your head will hamper me..
