Yeah, ok, I don't have a Youtube anymore, but I'm sure a few people reading this will still recognize the name. 5 years since my retirement from 'Focke-Wulfing' and I'm still 'Turbo-Lotusing', and this seat is where I'm at right now with hardware. I'm actually more enthusiastic about this racing seat than I've been about any piece of sim hardware since CH products or even Track IR, and the support the company puts behind the product is the primary reason why -- it's a great product with unbeatable customer support. I tried to repair my previous seat (a Bob Earl V1) but the damage to the fiberglass was too great for a patch. Seeing as Bob Earl is out of the racing seat business these days (making spares or replacement parts difficult) new options were needed. I investigated several options, quickly settling on this Openwheeler as checking all the right boxes for me: close to the open wheel sitting position, durable heavy steel adjustable hardware, and a comfortable, realistic, adjustable seat. I was looking for "functional simplicity", and sight unseen I made a very good choice. These seats are very well made, comfortable, and solid. The padding and especially the foam molding design could be better (it feels like years of use could cause them to detach), but for the price it is quite acceptable (and I'll be back to update over the years if I have problems). The seat is not a genuine Sparco or anything like that -- it's just a generic "racing seat" meant to imitate the more expensive ones, but for a "generic racing seat" it largely feels nice and well made. The welding on the frame is a bit sloppy in places but the entire system is very sturdy and easy to adjust. Very, very solid. The knobs used to adjust the entire system are very well made and comfortable on the hands (a huge improvement from my old Bob Earl). The first seat I received (the blue one) came with a bent/defective base and Openwheeler shipped me a replacement very quickly with a simple email. All they requested were some pictures and they quickly expedited me a replacement (complete with tools). Overall the design is of very high quality, and, more importantly, it's very functional. I was originally going to dock them at least one star for these seats not being compatible with Fanatec racing hardware, but after quickly dashing off an email to customer service they went out of their way to ship me, unexpectedly and completely for free, a bunch of prototype parts and beta designs they were working on that added Fanatec hardware compatibility. They were quick, pleasant, very professional, and actually listened to me and responded to my feedback. For example when the first pedal mount bracket they sent wasn't aligned properly I drew a diagram of what was wrong and they immediately fabricated and sent me a fix for it. This type of back and forth happened for several months and they ended up sending me numerous pieces to test and feedback. They clearly care about their product, and their customers. I've got a direct relationship now with their customer support (positive energy and shouts go out to Dimitar!) virtually guaranteeing 100% of my future business in this purchasing category (mid level racing seats and related hardware). It's a pity more companies don't recognize the positive and long lasting relationships they could cultivate with their customers if they'd simply make a little effort. Now I'm totally satisfied, sitting in a comfortable racing seat, very close to an accurate open wheel sitting position, with hard mounted Fanatec CSR wheel and hard mounted Fanatec Clubsport V2 pedals, totally immersed in my favourite racing sims, hanging on to the limit of grip in all my favourite race cars. It's too bad PCARS development never went anywhere (an example of a company going out of their way to cultivate bad relationships with their customers, those guys), but at least the future of rFactor 2 is looking exceedingly bright. Bring on the next 5 or 10 years of sim racing, because I'm ready!

Fun when you can get it to connect to games.

Five stars with the caveat that the pedal plate angle is not adjustable. I knew this from the pictures when I bought it but after using the whole set-up, it would be much more comfortable for me (and a more realistic seating position) if the angle was adjustable so I could angle it down. Other than that I love it. The seat has MUCH more padding than I expected and is very comfortable. I do need to use a small pillow as a lumbar support because of my back but the seat itself is great. Assembly was very easy, the seat adjusts as advertised, I love the looks, and again the seat has much more padding than expected and is very comfortable. I don't know who created the instruction pamphlet but it is top-notch with clear color pictures showing each step of assembly. The packing job was great also. The manufacturer really put time and effort into planning the packing and creating the assembly instructions. I highly recommend this product.

This racing seat has been a ton of fun for us. Kudos to the company for actually including everything you need to build it, regardless of which wheel / pedal set you have. I half expected to need to a tool box and a run to the store for a part or two. Nope! This kit has everything you need to build the chair including the wrenches and even Velcro to keep the wires tidy. I expected terrible build instructions but these were detailed and even included step by step color pictures. We had this out of the box, built and our wheel setup added in minutes, which was awesome on a busy Christmas morning. Great job to the team responsible for parting this out and having it all included in the box. You thought of everything!

Absolutely fantastic. Easily adjustable with regular slide back and reclining seat along with an adjustable frame works for anyone 4 foot to 6 foot with ease. Wheels on front with lock make moving rig seamless and easy. Holes on steering wheeL mount lined up perfectly with Logitech products. Seat itself is very high quality. Wheel assembly doesn’t shake or move from side to side like other products, very sturdy. Came with all hardware AND tools. The sides of the seat that are supposed to “hug” your legs have no brace so they’re kind of flimsy but granted, you’re not actually moving so they serve their purpose just fine. All in all fantastic design. Would recommend to anyone looking for a rig. Worth the investment. Maybe I’ll reupholster in leather just for kicks :)
