Know before you buy
The ES1 is designed for universal compatibility with most major sim racing cockpits, though it is specifically optimized for the Next Level Racing Elite series. We recommend checking your cockpit's mounting points to ensure alignment with the seat's base.
The high-density PU foam is engineered specifically for extended gaming sessions. It provides firm, consistent lumbar support that resists sagging, ensuring you remain comfortable and properly positioned even during multi-hour endurance events.
Yes, the custom-fit floor mat is designed to sit securely under your rig. It provides a stable, non-slip surface that protects your flooring from scratches while keeping your setup firmly in place during intense braking or steering inputs.
The Ford GT Edition shares the same ergonomic geometry and structural dimensions as the standard ELITE ES1 seat. The primary difference is the aesthetic branding and finish, which reflects the Ford GT styling.
The seat itself is a fixed-back bucket design, which provides the rigidity required for high-performance sim racing. Adjustability for driver height and reach is typically handled through the mounting brackets and the sliding rails of your specific cockpit setup.
