Next Level Racing GT Lite Foldable Simulator Cockpit NLR-S021

This setup is great for anybody who wants to get a little more serious with sim racing, I have probably about 100 hours in the seat with multiple games and I don’t have many complaints! I’m 6 feet tall and it is slightly cramped for my legs even on the farthest settings but it never gets uncomfortable. This thing is great build quality and I haven’t noticed much flexing besides forwards and backwards if you’re to pull or push on the wheel with some force but nothing left to right. I’d like to see some backrest adjustability as it’s a little too far leaned back for my taste but my fix is putting a pillow between me and the chair and it brings me to the perfect level of lean. There are no cushions so your butt will get a little sore during long sessions but for the price point it’s definitely something I wouldn’t be concerned over. The folding aspect could be better if you keep your wheel mounted but it’s better than not being able to fold it up. I would have also liked an extension on the shifter plate for a hand brake but if you’re creative you can make it work with some heavy duty zipties LOL. All around a great racing sim for the price and Id definitely recommend to ANYBODY looking to get more serious about sim racing! Hope this helps somebody make a decision! :) Read more

My very first rig; delivered earlier than expected; no damages and no missing parts from the package, extra fittings provided for mounting the wheel, pedals and shifter; straightforward assembly as long as you know how to follow instructions; very sturdy and leveled, no wobbles during gameplay; the steering wheel mounting bracket actually swings out to the left for entry into the cockpit, which I think is pretty cool; a world of difference from using a controller when playing Gran Turismo Sport & 7. There's quite a few rigs out there to choose from, but I'm really glad I chose this one - not too expensive and doesn't seem to be cheaply made either. I highly recommend this to those of you who are seeking a decent rig. Just a few things to be aware of: The seat isn't designed to be comfortable especially after a few hours of gaming. Use pillows or seat cushions to remedy this, or you can get up and do some house chores before getting back in there again. Make sure that everything is tightened just enough and locked in before getting in the cockpit, pay close attention to details on the instruction booklet. If you have cats or dogs...well, you'll find out ;) Read more

I purchased an entire sim racing setup for my PS5 which included the Thrustmaster T300 with Pedals, PSVR2, and this as my chair. While on the budget end, I do think the chair holds up quite well. I say this having not used other sim racing gear at home before. Pros: Cheap price, decent adjustability, comfortable seating, easy in-and-out usage. Cons: Feels slightly cheap, adjustability, slightly less stable than I would have liked, setup was simple on paper but some parts were difficult to put together. I think you really get what you pay for with this. Obviously, there are much better options out there, but on the budget end of things it's hard to find something that really works. My cons list is fairly long, but as long as you know what you're signing up for I do think this chair serves its purpose. I use it quite regularly and have not run into any notable issues. Read more

This is the best folding racing chair, period. Super solid construction, no wobble when you're using it, it's easy to get in and out of, and is fairly customizable to fit players of many different sizes. If you've got the Logitech shifter, it doesn't REALLY fit that well because the folding hub is in the way of the shifter mounting point. Some other shifters probably fit better, but I was able to mount my logitech with a single bolt and the clamps keep it in place. Not an issue, just seems like an oversight. The hubs are really easy to use but they do make folding the chair a bit more difficult than I'd like. Next Level Racing offers a video instructional on how to fold the seat, but they don't fold it the same way as it's folded on the marketing, which is strange. It DOES fold up nearly flat with the wheel and pedals mounted, but it is awkward. Again, it's not a major issue because it does work, but its confusing that they would photograph it folded a certain way and then give instructions to fold it in a different way that makes it less compact. Wire management is lacking, but I'm not sure there's much to do differently. I used small velcro straps. TL;DR - this is a FOLDING chair so there are going to be compromises made. It will never be as good as a stationary setup, but this is the BEST product for anyone who doesn't have enough space to devote to a permanent solution. Compared to 'other' folding chairs, this is an amazing value. Some suggestions for the manufacturer: A lumbar pillow would make a great accessory, I find that I am much more comfortable with a pillow, this could just be a personal preference but the option of adding a matching pillow would've been great. Would LOVE to have a nylon drawstring bag to slide over the seat when it is folded up. The included strap helps keep it from coming unfolded but a drawstring bag would be a cleaner way to store this when not in use. Read more

I was not expecting it to be this sturdy . I am a smaller guy but still very strong long lasting construction. Was a little worried at some of reviews saying pieces wouldn’t fit right. Mine went together perfectly. Some pieces were a little work but that’s so they fit right and won’t wobble later after years of use . I love the ability to swing wheel over and hop out anytime. Folds up nice too. Exactly what I was looking for! Read more
