Another great review. I have been delayed in any modifications to my NLR F-GT as my company has moved to a new facility and customer work is priority. Personal projects have to wait lol. Hope to build my own extruded aluminum rig eventually
Perhaps the plastic covers need to be stuck down with bubble gun. So bad that Wrigley‘s Spearmint has been cancelled. Great review as always. The profile covers could be a very nice touch.
Great video, thank you for your input :) Have you had the chance to test the gt1 pro from simlab? I think you dont have a video for it, but I wanted to ask anyway. I find simlab very interesting, as their build quality seems to be one of the best. though the gt1 pro is quite a bit more expensive than the gt1 evo, they fixed pretty much all of your complaints about the evo (wheel attached to a horizontal plate between aluminium profiles; vertical profile included at the shifter position). Do you have a opinion on the gt1 pro? Would be my first proper sim rig (was racing at a desk for years) and I want it to last and be good quality.
No unfortunately I have not. And you are absolutely correct. Sim-Lab is a known and reputable company known over the world for the quality of their hardware. I did have a look at the GT1 pro and like you say, the culprits I saw in the evo seem solved . With its configuration it seems a good alternative for the NLR FGT. Not sure about the inclination of the vertical beams though. I was not a fan of those of the FGT. But nonetheless, without even testing it, it looks a very decent piece of hardware. If it is worth the increase over the GT1 Evo... I would need to see it in detail.
Those bucket seats are not really suitable for a sim rig. They are designed to hold a driver in place under high G's so just sitting in one for even a slightly extended session gives me terrible pains in my hips and lower ribs. I think the GT Omega has this rig beat in all aspects.
It depends I guess.. they feel more snug.. but I am no fan of them either. For my purposes too, I prefer a good comfortable more desk-chair type. And yes it seems so... I wonder what rig of this type I still can test that will be better bang/buck than the Prime Lite. 🤔
@@olivierverhaegen3240 That's my whole point. Being restricted from moving in a sim rig is not ergonomic and absolutely unnecessary since we aren't pulling any G's of any kind in any direction.
@@boxboxbox624 Oh yeah I got your point, I just think not moving around when e.g. putting 50kg+ pressure on a loadcell brake is a big factor in ergonomics and avoiding back pain down the line as well. And the not moving around part is within reason of course.

Ehmmmm... that is going to be a very very sticky mess then ☹️ thank you my friend!

You should always try a seat before buying one really, but a good bucket seat that fits you will stop you from moving around even in the simrig.
I feel old now because i prefer comfort over immersion 😏
