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! :)

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!

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.

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.

so i got a lot of mixed reviews when i was looking at this an they were good an bad an i am very glad that i bought this an cant wait to buy another one for my other gaming wheels its very comfy i cld literally sit in it all day long an ask for the bad reviews i seen on this product i can only say make sure u tighten the clamping clamps cause i had my 400pnd brother in it for almost 8 hours an with him bouncing around an getting excited it never once loosened or undone it held up great an still is an the adjustment work great for taller an shorter people i can set it up perfectly for my 4ft neice an my 7ft bro inlaw great buy for sim racers

It's a great entry level rig. The only problem is that there is no space to install a shifter and handbrake at the same time. Can be fixed with additional metal plates though.

Comprato in combinata con un Logitech G923, da usare in sala con PS5. Se volete fare l'acquisto di un volante, pensate seriamente di comprare anche un cockpit di questo tipo. Vi svolta il gioco. Avevo precedentemente comprato un supporto in ferro solo per volante e pedali, quindi niente sedile o alcuna zona in cui sedersi. Ho provato varie sedie ma niente, il tutto risultava scomodo e toglieva la voglia di giocare. Con questo supporto, invece, ti immergi. Sono alto 174cm e la regolazione del pedale è perfetta. Ho fatto provare il setup a degli amici più alti di me, attorno al 1.80m, e la situazione iniziava ad essere più complicata: ho dovuto impostare la zona dei pedali "a terra", quindi senza il rialzo finale, e spostare la pedaliera del G920 tutta in fondo. RETTIFICA: Ho notatato tardi che, la "gamba" anteriore del supporto, aveva altre 5 regolazioni di lunghezza. Queste risolvono il problema qui sopra. I ragazzi sono riusciti comunque a giocare, ma la coscia toccava il supporto in ferro dove collegate il volante. Niente di fastidioso, a detta loro, ma percepivo che la comodità veniva meno. Per quanti riguarda la possibilità di ripiegare il sedile, aiuto! Sul sito di Next Level Racing fanno sembrare questa operazione uno scherzo, ma mi sono messo una mezz'ora a capire bene cosa fare e alla fine c'ho rinunciato. Probabilmente c'è, di volta in volta, da ammorbidire notevolmente i due perni che stringono il sedile, che si trovano ad altezza ginocchia quando si è seduti. Solo che questa operazione ti porta via tanto tempo, oltre al fatto che, una volta smollati questi sostegni, al montaggio successivo si dovrà perdere altro tempo per trovare la rotazione esatta dove fermarsi. In breve: anziché chiuderlo completamente, mi limito a portare indietro il supporto del volante e ad alzare la pedaliera verso quest'ultimo. Il setup si riduce abbastanza in dimensione e per me è sufficiente per metterlo in un angolo del salotto. Problema di ripiegaggio a parte, super consigliato. Comdo anche per sezioni di un'ora (se non siete professionisti esport, più di un'ora non ci giocherete, specie se fate delle gare su ACC).

Nachdem ich die Nase voll hatte, mich auf meinem Gaming Sessel in jeder Kurve hin und her zu drehen und beim Rallye fahren immer fast meinen Lenkradständer umzuwerfen, habe ich nach langem Überlegen, für den Next Level Racing GT Lite entschieden. Ich hatte nicht allzu große Erwartungen, aber ich muss sagen, ich bin echt begeistert. Nachdem die österreichische Post den kompletten Versand vermasselt hat, habe ich zwei Tage verspätet mein Paket erhalten. Der Aufbau war sehr problemlos, alleine schon wegen der sehr gut bebilderten Aufbauanleitung, wo auch noch genau beschrieben wird, wie man das Teil zusammen legen kann. Natürlich kann man es nicht mit einem "richtigen" Sim Racing Rig vergleichen, aber der GT-Lite kostet ja auch nur einen Bruchteil. Für die knapp 200€ bekommt man richtig viel GT-Feeling, und haufenweise Einstellmöglichkeiten, um die komplette Sitzposition an die eigenen Bedürfnisse anzupassen. Die Rückenlehne selbst lässt sich nicht einstellen, aber man kann die Neigung, indirekt, durch höher/tiefer stellen der vorderen Füße anpassen. Die hinteren Füße haben auch Schraubenlöcher in zwei verschiedenen Höhen. Insgesamt fühlt sich der GT Lite sehr robust an, und es wackelt auch nix, bei hoher Belastung im Rallyesport. Schrauben für Lenkrad, Pedale, Shifter, etc. sind auch dabei. Das Zusammenklappen funktioniert nach zwei bis dreimal probieren auch recht gut, aber anfangs sollte man sich doch an die Anleitung halten. Alles in Allem eine optimale Sim Racing Lösung für Leute, die ihr Equipment nicht permanent im Raum stehen lassen wollen/können. Ich gebe eine klare Kaufempfehlung. Ich werde den GT-Lite die nächsten Monate testen, und gegebenenfalls meine Rezension anpassen.

Chair is comfortable and solid. Folds up nicely. Fit my wheel and pedals perfectly (Logitech G29) Update! I recently upgraded my wheel and pedals to an 8Nm wheel and load cell (75kg) pedals. This chair handles the wheel torque with no issues, but the seat flexes a bit when applying the brakes, as I expected. Still loving the GT Lite, but might need to upgrade eventually.
