What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly view the NEXT LEVEL RACING® ELITE ES1 SCUDERIA FERRARI EDITION as a pinnacle of sim racing seating, blending elite performance with iconic aesthetics. The sentiment is highly positive, driven primarily by the exceptional build quality and the striking, authentic Ferrari branding. Users frequently praise the seat's rigidity, noting its ability to handle high forces from direct drive wheels and powerful load cell pedals without any noticeable flex, which is crucial for maintaining immersion and consistency during competitive racing. Comfort is generally rated highly, even during extended racing sessions, thanks to the ergonomic design and the use of high-quality materials, often featuring a mix of durable PU leather and suede-like fabric. The Ferrari detailing, including the meticulously embroidered logos and signature red stitching, is a major selling point, successfully justifying the premium price point for dedicated enthusiasts and brand loyalists. While the cost is acknowledged as high—often referred to as the 'Ferrari tax'—most serious sim racers feel the investment is worthwhile for the combination of uncompromising performance and visual appeal that elevates the entire cockpit setup. Minor criticisms occasionally surface regarding the specialized nature of the seat, requiring an existing Elite cockpit frame, or the fit for users at the extreme ends of the size spectrum, but these are generally minor concerns overshadowed by the overall satisfaction with the product's premium feel and performance capabilities. The product successfully delivers a high-end, immersive racing experience that strongly appeals to both performance seekers and those desiring an exclusive, branded setup.
Know before you buy
The Elite ES1 features a fixed-back, single-piece design to ensure maximum rigidity and eliminate flex during intense racing. While the seat itself does not recline, it is designed to be mounted to compatible cockpits that allow for angle and position adjustments.
The seat is engineered for durability and supports a maximum user weight of 551.16 lbs, making it a robust option for a wide range of sim racers.
The seat is designed for compatibility with most major sim racing cockpits. However, depending on your specific rig, you may need to ensure you have the appropriate seat brackets or sliders, as these are typically sold separately.
The seat is constructed with ergonomically contoured PU foam and finished with premium suede, which provides both comfort and breathability. The five-axis roto-molded polymer shell ensures the seat remains rigid and supportive even during long-duration endurance racing.
The seat features integrated ergonomic contouring designed to provide consistent lumbar support. Unlike some office chairs, this is a fixed-geometry racing seat, so the support is built into the shell's shape rather than being mechanically adjustable.
