Next Level Racing F-GT Lite Formula and GT Foldable Simulator Cockpit (NLR-S015)

with this im ready to cook max verstappen fr . im so ready this has taken my game to the next level

Bought retail but figured I'd leave a review since I find this to be a great mid level seat. Pretty useful since you can fold this away real quick and with practice and cable routing it can take you about 2 minutes to set up and put away with your wheel and pedals still attached.The seat is somewhat comfy, can get bothersome after 2 or so hours. Feels like of like a lawnchair but it is not too bad, don't expect to sit up right as a slight slouch is recommended for your butt to be comfy.It is somewhat sturdy and great for 5nm wheels and below (using a t248 rn but have also tried a fanatec csl elite and it was fine on it).Great adjustments for different heights and for setting up accessories. (Make sure that the shift adapter plate is included)If you can get this for $150 it is definitely worth it.

I've had this for over 2 weeks now and am to the point where I can move this out of my closet and build up in 7 minutes and about the same amount of time tearing down and storing. The seat, wheel, and pedals altogether weigh well over 50lbs and need to be carried, unless you're on carpet and have a wide enough path to drag. I initially always removed/installed the pedal assembly to reduce carrying weight since it was just 2 screws but found the folding mechanism too convenient to eliminate.The cam mechanism at the joints is very clever but only provides enough angle adjustment to switch between GT and formula sitting-modes so don't think you can finely adjust the angle of the back and seat. There are 12 detents so you get 30 degrees of adjustment at each joint. There's enough adjustment to get the wheel where you want but not without spending several minutes screwing in/out the wheel and lots of testing.The clip strap for the front-back legs is also very clever giving you confidence in the legs not collapsing on you in GT-position. I do wish they were velcro like the strap stabilizing and strengthening the steering wheel bracket.The seat is much wider than I had hoped which makes fitting in my small 1-bedroom apartment a challenge. The widest part is at the cam joints by your knees: it handles the steering wheel bracket, front legs, and left+right plates (which I don't use... curious if I could remove those cams and save a couple of inches in my closet).I don't have enough room in front of my TV to place the seat so I have this to the side of my couch and angled slightly. This has been fine for several hour-long sessions.All in all, I highly recommend this seat for those looking for a sim rig that they need to fold up and stow away. The price is great for the quality and strength of the pieces. For some the Playseat Challenge is enough but if you're looking for something more, the F-GT Lite is more than worth the extra cost.

UPDATE: Next Level Racing believes that I have received a second-hand/open-box chair through Amazon. FYSA, the item I purchased was (supposed to be) a NEW item and shipped and sold by Amazon, NOT a third-party seller. There is some, evidence to support Next Level Racing’s theory (the mounting plate had some scratches, the wrench that was supposed to be included was missing and, oh, all the other missing parts). Next Level Racing’s suggestion was that I pack this massive thing back and up return it to Amazon for an exchange. First of all, if I wanted to carry this thing, I wouldn’t have had it delivered to my house. I had to roll the box (end over end and very gently) in the front door as it was because, let’s face it, this thing is bulky and heavy. At least it is in pieces when you put it together so the weight, while awkward, is manageable, but hefting this thing back into the box (always a fun Tetris game with any return) and taking it to the post office, to some UPS store, or some Amazon drop center is a definite no-go. I would try to talk to someone at Amazon, but you can never actually talk to someone at Amazon so I’m pretty sure I’m stuck with having paid a retail sticker price for a second-hand chair that the manufacturer won’t take responsibility for (though I see their point on this one) and that, due to the logistical nightmare of a return and inability to reach and actual human at Amazon, I’ll just be stuck with apparently. Off I go to start begging the folks at the hardware store to help me find suitable replacement hardware so I can patch this thing together. Super…Oh I did manage to get the yoke plate on. Not sure the hardware is correct, but it works. Also included a picture of some hardware that was in the box. Absolutely NO idea what any of it goes it. It isn’t in the instruction manual “list of included hardware” or on the box anywhere and Next Level Racing didn’t send me any “you’re an idiot and that goes to [whatever component],” emails so I’m guessing they were stumped too.Just received this today. It’s part of a surprise for my better half along with with MSFS, and new Xbox, Velocity one flight controllers, rudder pedals, etc,, I just got him. Well, that’s shot now. This chair is literally unusable at the moment and since the TV is the monitor and the controllers are wired (a must), none of it usable unless we put it all on a TV tray and he sits on the floor in the middle of the living room. That doesn’t sound like fun. At any rate, back to this should-have/been gaming chair…a good chunk of the hardware (meaning nuts and bolts and screws and such) is missing including one of the installation tools. Even if my boyfriend could put up with not having the legs of the thing secured (and hopefully not falling over) the bolts for the steering wheel/yoke plate are completely missing, so it’s utterly useless. I’m EXTREMELY disappointed. I expected much better. I emailed their customer service so we’ll see what they choose to do about it, but I’m certain any response will take time and that will ruin everything I had planned so anything short of a new one here by tomorrow or the day after is too little too late.
