@@chaseshadow the next level seems to have wider range of motion and the shifter plate over the challenge, anything made you recommend the challenge over the GT lite? Like quality wise?
@@sixx1095 I manufacture the Playseat Challenge Accessory Range for global distribution. So I might be a tad biased and perhaps not the best person to ask about the Next Level GT-Lite/F Lite. The only things to consider are: 1. Cost 2. Build quality 3. Function and design 4. Practicality There are pro's & Cons with both products. Until the launch of Lowdownshifter.com, the Playseat Challenge was not a very immersive experience. Next Level learnt from Playseat's costly mistake by manufacturing a place to add on mods. Yes limited, but at least they had the conscious thought to provide where Playseat failed. Next Level customers however, do shop with Lowdown Shifter. Why ?? Because Lowdown Shifter manufactures/ supplies the only detachable mod mount system in the world, worthy of it's title 'THE Solution'. Next Level customers, like Playseat Challenge, are now able to apply specific products to their experience. Though mountable area is limited on the Next Level over the Playseat Challenge. Playseat Challenge - Limitless Next Level Racing - Limited Personal choice I guess.
Did you pause it 😂 but with what you said is the last thing that a normal person shupd be saying obviously he could trick you very easily because you think he's a good person after 60 seconds let's hope you are not in charge or any carer of tiny persons/babies 😮😂
What a great channel very articulate. Don’t waste time with unneeded info. Really picks out info that you need. Professionally done. Really great reviews. Much appreciated
I've got this cockpit. After a couple of times doing it it's really easy to fold it away. 1. open wheel deck 2. lift pedal deck and place close to seat. 3. re-secure wheel deck, locking pedal deck in place. 4. loosen the sides and let everything fold forwards. 5. put it on it's back. 6. move the wheel deck as far back as possible. 7. secure with the strap that secures the bottom of the cockpit when in use. Once you get it, it takes about 30 seconds to fold away and another 30 seconds set up. Another way, if you don't need it completely flat; 1. open the wheel deck. 2. fold up the pedal deck to the chair. 3 re-secure the wheel deck, locking pedal deck in place. 4. loosen clips at the back of the chair and push back rest forward. That takes about 10 seconds. The total footprint of that is about 70 CMs deep. Not too bad and you don't have to piss about with loosening the side clamps and getting everything lined up perfectly.
That good quality construction manual really shows just how much they care about the quality of their products, even down to the instruction manual. Awesome.
First video i've found of yours Karl; absolutely love your vibe and how soft spoken you are. 20:35 also cracked me up, keep up the great, honest content.
Love this video man you really thought ahead and thought of all possible scenarios a consumer would run into when using this thing. Most reviews may talk about things they noticed during set up but then just talk about the seat itself and nothing more..Putting it away was what was most important to me so glad you talked about it!
Joined an f1 league a few months ago and quickly got the bug 😂, was playing on pad but after watching your reviews and in depth analysis of products I've decided to branch out and get myself this seat and the t300. Now to find a decent price for t3pa pedals . Thanks again for all the info it's been priceless in my choices 👌🏼👌🏼
In exactly the same boat, after watching these videos and getting more and more obessed.. I've now just purchased a fanatec f1 wheel and system - but can't get a table clamp so on to the next thing which is cockpits haha.. help!
Only just discovered your channel Karl but it has proved an invaluable source of information for me. And thanks to this review (and the folding video) I have just ordered a GT Lite! Keep up the good work
There's something really funny about your videos, I think it's just how detailed you go about every little niggle or good thing you find. Nice manual paper for example lol
Thank you so very much for this video sir. Just purchased one and it's arriving soon and your video is awesome cause it answered all my concerns. Especially if it would wiggle around when driving. When I saw that it barely moved when you used it I was happy cause your a big dude and it was fine lol lol. New subscriber and looking forward to watching your other videos. Thank you again for the video and stay safe
I just bought this and I’m looks at all the reviews bc I found out I got the gt lite and not f gt. I also play dirt so seeing you play shows how rigid it is and how it will last
I also thought the same on minute 11:44. But now that I tested it myself, I realized those little pieces on your left and right prevent the back of the seat to move to the front. Not really sure the purpose of it but that’s what I found out after a couple hours of playing.
I have the F-GT Lite and while I love my F1 sims and open wheel racing, I dont really find myself ever if at all putting it into the Formula position. Its nice to know I can put it into a Formula position but its not really needed. My opinion just go with the GT-Lite. It cost less, folds up quicker and easier and takes up way less space both opened up and folded away and you can still add a H-pattern shifter if and when you want.
Nice review, wish I'd seen it earlier as I bought the kids a X Rocker circuit that has broken after several uses since Christmas day. The screw that holds the steering wheel plate is threaded into thin tube and wobbles and strips out. That set up is now useless. Should have just put the extra money towards a Next Level GT lite of F-GT lite. Will wait to see if there are any price drops in the next few months. Keep the reviews coming.
@@KarlGosling yes, indeed. My mum bought my first pair of decks when I was 17. They was average belt drives. Thought best to learn on the cheaper set and if I like it, buy technics 1210s. Bought my 1210’s when I was 19. When I was about 14-15 U.K. garage was huge in London. So I started buying garage vinyl when I got decks. Over the years , I’ve been buying garage, grime, dubstep, U.K. funky, soulful house, reggae Vinyl. Buying decks was best thing I’ve ever bought. Buying 1210’s and pioneer djm600 out of my wages, felt great.
I have 60 inches to work with. Can anyone fully measure from the bottom back bar to the front bar where the pedals go? I know it says 69" on amazon, but wondering if that includes where the seat is leaned back? thanks
Decent review mate, looking at this and the review of the r-gt lite i think im gunna go for the playseat challenge. looks in my opinion the better set up overall for what I need and cheaper aswell so win win. Keep up the good work mate cracking content
Hey! Thanks for the review, do you know if you can put the shifter panel to the right side of the seat ? Or do we have to buy another piece especially for the right side?
Good review Karl, glad you still stick to your guns and tell it how it is. Hopefully NLR go back and tackle the back rest clips and rethink how these things fold.
Great videos and reviews, I really I hope you have lots of success with your channel, it has been really helpful in a lot of things like VR and sim racing, I just got this G lite unit, for 299 us, and watching your review made me think that I did the right choice, also Im a big dude and you mention that on your review that was helpful, I had a reduce budget, but doing VR this will work in my tiny apartment, thanks, it was really helpful!
Just tried to put mines together, none of the pieces fit , the hole for the seat wasn’t drilled correctly, the back leg is too big, and the wheel bar is too small , also the clamps are so tight I had to use a hammer to loosen them , the seat I got gets a big 👎👎👎
Im super late to this but im sick of not getting my wheel out because of the faff attaching everything to my desk. Im very torn due to height of seat possibly causing issues with seeing my monitor on my desk. Is the gt lite much taller than the playseat challenge
I'm looking at entry level cockpits and wheels I was between this one and a playseat challenge with logitech wheel and shifter any recommendations I'm only 5'2
Well after a short little google, I can see what the GT Lite has that the Playseat Challenge doesn't. A shifter mount. And that's all I need to know. GT lite it is.
Waiting on my GT Lite with high anticipation, almost got the Playseat but no shift plate was a complete deal breaker. Don't mind the folding as I have my own apartment and don't need to fold it all the way, so space isn't an extreme issue as I can put it wherever I want but a dedicated rig still isn't an option (yet). Enough space for me to put it beside my desk but not enough to where I can just leave it out in my bedroom unless I decide to move my PC into my living room at some point. It'll be nice to not swivel in my chair playing DR 2.0/WRC 10 when I go for a hairpin/hard brake, or my keyboard tray sliding in and out lmao
When you fold it, if you tilt down the wheel platform and open it before lifting the pedals? Then once the pedals are up, could the wheel clamp close? It seems like they could have thought of it
I'm going to try, that would actually look a little more like the picture on the front of the manual if it works, but it's not what they show in their video! lol
Well I figured I would post this here since no one has a fix for the seat/ pedal lifting that happens under hard braking. The way I solved this was by cutting sheet of plywood the width and length of the rig when It's set to my liking. Drilled holes after marking the spots on plywood. Then bolted it down with "T-nuts", screws with washers (or bolts if you prefer) and metal conduit "U" clamps to hold down the front leg bar and the rear pedal bar to keep it nice and steady. Hope this helps!
He earned me as a subscriber when he said 21:19 “like that maybe? I mean.. Nah thats just crap” 😂 this came right in time as i was looking for a rig for my new fanatec equipment coming in thanks!!
Not sure if I'm the only one but I have the FGT lite and my seat is the same as the GT version..I have mesh on the back but swede finish on seat..I see most FGT lites chairs have mesh..any one else has the same?
I have a desk that is 76cm high and was wondering how far off the ground the seat is. Would it be too low for my desk? Also what is the maximum height you can have it adjusted to
You seemed to have more leg room in this one then the F-GT Lite in the GT position. Could you or anyone else confirm this? I'm 6'2" and really want the F-GT Lite but I fear I won't be comfortable in it. However this one seems better for taller folks
Great review. I think i'll stick to the playseat challenge looking at your folding attempt. If u got any good ways to eliminate 'lift off' on the Challenge, would be amazing to hear. I'm playing with seat rake and pedal angle, and trying to anchor the pedal board with a line but its clunky at best. I'm really struggling with the TrueBrake on the Challenge but want to make it work. Keep up the good work!
Aside from fitting braces to either side there' no real way, it needs to be that way to fold away of course. The Truebrake mod is not really suited to this type of cockpit as you can tell.
@@KarlGosling Thank you for the quick answer (you got a new subscriber ! :) ). So if I understand, this playseat will not be able to handle a 15Nm forcefeedback as it will move too much. And Last question, I'm 1m90 for 115kgs, solid enough ?
I bought one of those to test out and sent it back. It was a royal pain in the ass if I'm honest lol. I decided not to make a video because I was afraid i would sound like I was bashing it. For me I'd rather pay slightly more for something like an ART any day of the week!
Nothing wrong with bashing things if you have a good reason to mate! :) What was it you didn't like? Aside from the questionable folding away method it's decent enough. Obviously an ART (whilst much better) doesn't fold away so is for a different market.
Spinował, zanim do niego dojechałeś, więc zwiększył kat, wytracił prędkość i się spotkaliście. Oglądałem powtórki wielokrotnie...najlepiej widać to chyba Atego ujęcia z drona. Pozdrawiam ;)
I'm torn between this and the playseat. This is more readily available to me but the folding situation really puts me off as it has to sit tidily where my gt omega (copy) wheelstand does currently in the corner of the living room.

Alright appreciate it does the playsest have a shifter mount too by any chance?
Karl has videos on hoy to mount one yourself, cheers!
Well after a short little google, I can see what the GT Lite has that the Playseat Challenge doesn't. A shifter mount.
And that's all I need to know. GT lite it is.
Direct drive wheel cockpit seat budget one which you recommend €1000 wheel and least £500 playseat?
What is the best foldaway then if this isn't it?
There isn't really a "best" as everyone has slightly different needs... body type and size etc, easy of folding, floor and storage space.
how big is your house and how do you contain all these rigs?
I sell them on when I' m done mate! lol
Waiting on my GT Lite with high anticipation, almost got the Playseat but no shift plate was a complete deal breaker. Don't mind the folding as I have my own apartment and don't need to fold it all the way, so space isn't an extreme issue as I can put it wherever I want but a dedicated rig still isn't an option (yet).

how adjustable is the pedal mount? Could it adjust to a little kid using it?

Not sure if I'm the only one but I have the FGT lite and my seat is the same as the GT version..I have mesh on the back but swede finish on seat..I see most FGT lites chairs have mesh..any one else has the same?
I wonder , how is the wheel wobble compared to the Playseat
Very similar mate.
@@KarlGosling Karl would you Prefer the Playseat evolution over the challenge in terms of wobble?
I have a desk that is 76cm high and was wondering how far off the ground the seat is. Would it be too low for my desk? Also what is the maximum height you can have it adjusted to
Dos it have somwhere to mount a handbrake
Karl, is getting crowded over there man, send me some stuff for safe keeping :)
lol ;)
What are the dimensions? I've seen different dimensions on different websites so I am unsure.
You seemed to have more leg room in this one then the F-GT Lite in the GT position. Could you or anyone else confirm this? I'm 6'2" and really want the F-GT Lite but I fear I won't be comfortable in it. However this one seems better for taller folks
Can you invert your Logitech g90 pedals with this cockpit?
Fanatec ClubSport v3 would be too much (pressure you have to apply to brake wise) to use with this rig? Thanks
No, you can make them very soft if needed.
@@KarlGosling Thanks!

Aside from fitting braces to either side there' no real way, it needs to be that way to fold away of course.
The Truebrake mod is not really suited to this type of cockpit as you can tell.
To be honest you don't really ever fold up the gt lite
Hej. can the F-GT be assembled in the same way?
Did you test this with a stronger wheel? Like a t300 or another belt driven wheel?
No mate.
Karl Gosling, A relatively wide individual.
Do you think this will hold up the CSL DD 8Nm base well?
It will be ok but yes there will be movement.
How do you compare this one to the playseat challenge?
See my video on just that mate! :)
Nice video mate keep up the good work!!
Thanks, will do!
Would you recommend this with a DD wheel?
I would never recommend a foldable cockpit for a DD wheel, a full static cockpit is best... but if you have to have one then it will work yes.
I have this cockpit, your supposed to open the swing arm the put the pedals up close the arm then fold!!
Thats nice mate.
Thanks for the review, i am about to buy à DD1 but i got space issue, would you recommend this foldable playseat ?
I would not recommend a DD1 on a foldable cockpit, the CSL DD would be a far better choice mate.
@@KarlGosling Thank you for the quick answer (you got a new subscriber ! :) ).
So if I understand, this playseat will not be able to handle a 15Nm forcefeedback as it will move too much.
And Last question, I'm 1m90 for 115kgs, solid enough ?
can the shifter mount be on the right side?
Afaik (but please doublecheck before buying) you can attach the tray on both sides and the empty clamp you see at 8:50 is for that.
Thanks so much just order mine :) very nice review
Have fun!
Awesome review thanks. Is it possible to fit a shifter and handbrake on this. I’m asking because I need both for drifting
can you put the shifter on the right?
Which is the better seat? F GT or GT?
Good video! Lol when it smashed you in the head. The look you gave, like you wanted to break it in half😂
I wasn't happy! lol
This is the STRAP ON comment you been looking for :)
like your video and your style of describing chair. Is it worth to spend extra on FGT rather than GT lite?
I bought one of those to test out and sent it back. It was a royal pain in the ass if I'm honest lol. I decided not to make a video because I was afraid i would sound like I was bashing it. For me I'd rather pay slightly more for something like an ART any day of the week!
Nothing wrong with bashing things if you have a good reason to mate! :) What was it you didn't like? Aside from the questionable folding away method it's decent enough.
Obviously an ART (whilst much better) doesn't fold away so is for a different market.
Spinował, zanim do niego dojechałeś, więc zwiększył kat, wytracił prędkość i się spotkaliście. Oglądałem powtórki wielokrotnie...najlepiej widać to chyba Atego ujęcia z drona.
Pozdrawiam ;)
Can you swing the steering wheel out fold chair then swing it back over the top 👍
That’s what I was thinking
I'll try! :)
Did we get an answer to this? I'm fat and this would help me out 🤣
I'm torn between this and the playseat. This is more readily available to me but the folding situation really puts me off as it has to sit tidily where my gt omega (copy) wheelstand does currently in the corner of the living room.
Once you set it up you will never fold it dude no point
Great review. Do you know what the total length of the seat is? Idk if it fits my room so please someone who knows?
How do like this compared to the play seat challenge? Same opinion as the f gt?
Pretty much, just no F position! lol
