Appropriate for ages 8 and older, the seat is the perfect accessory for gamers who want to boost their lap times in style.





Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - classic, inexpensive, semi-comfortable
I enjoy my playseat classic after figuring out how to fasten my logitec g25 pedals and wheel to it securely. I ordered the shifter mount and it required me to drill a hole into the side but works great now. The optional seat slider is nice but a pain to put together. I haven't played for longer than a few hours, the seat itself is pretty comfortable but not like a car seat. I store it in 2 sections behind my couch. Its light enough to lift, and easily connected back together. I do recommend this product and the others I've mentioned.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - I think it works fine with no issue's
We bought 2 of these chairs, I think they work fine, they are pretty stable, everything mounts fine and stays put. The chairs after 3 hours of racing still feel comfortable. I think for the price they are worth it.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great if you are setup correctly
There are a few pitfalls with the classic version of this model that have been fixed on the evolution version, but I don think the price is worth it.

This is probably the cheapest seat out there price wise. I am quite tall 6ft3inches and had some trouble with long hours as the back was not supported in the right places.
I used the in built seat cushion to convert it into a lumbar support.
No more back aches after that.

There is also a slight documentation issue with the setup of the seat. connecting the Pedals to the actual set is done through a bar.
I often found this to be slipping hwile driving until I found that the manufacturer has given screws for fitting the rest of the Seat but a different system that requires a screwdriver to turn a socket which fits the pedals base to the seat tightly.
Did not have any issue with that. This is not documented in the manual and got me frustrated very quickly.

The front forks are also not too long hence the steering column can move/tilt a little during intense play
I fixed that by attaching a plywood sheet to the bottom.

All in all a satisfactory product for the price you are paying.




Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Needs adjustments
Loved the seat and the control section but it needs to have a better system for locking in control section. I am an adult of average size and the screw clamp just doesn't lock it in. As I apply pressure to the foot controls it slowly moves them away from me. I am going to drill some holes and use pins to keep it in place so that I can have some adjustment. As for the small cross piece would recommend it be wider and studier to keep it from moving. I will be adding something to it to strengthen it. That said with my few modifications it works great. I have 50 inch plasma that is right at eye level when I use the seat and it puts you right into the game.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good setup for the cost
Good quality racing seat for the cost. Seat is large enough to easily fit a 6", 200 lbs person. It does, however, lack full lower back support for those extended play sessions. Nothing an extra piece of foam or pillow can not fix.

The frame is flexible but still well constructed with plenty of adjustments for player size and reach preference. While it is easy to break it down into two smaller pieces for storage, the seat/frame combination will take up a pretty good chunk of real estate in your room.

I had purchased many "real" racing seats before for costs far higher than this complete seat/frame combination. I definitely recommend this setup for any player.

About TAG Heuer
TAG Heuer traces its roots to the small Swiss village of St-Imier where, in 1860, a watchmaker named Edouard Heuer opened his first shop. His vision was to create remarkable timepieces that pushed the envelope of innovation and precision. The company's reputation grew and Heuer's first patent for a chronograph mechanism in 1882 was followed by a long list of achievements: the first stopwatch accurate to 1/100 of a second, the first dashboard stopwatch for race cars, the first miniature electronic timekeeping device accurate to 1/1000th of a second, and the first automatic movement with a microrotor, to name just a few. Over the years, Heuer's reputation for gold-standard precision earned the company the privilege of providing official timing services for a number of world-class competitive sporting events, including the Olympic Games, the FIS Ski World Cup, and the FIA Formula 1 World Championships. To this day, TAG Heuer maintains a close association with the world of competitive sports and enjoys a devoted following among sports celebrities and enthusiasts. In 1985, Heuer joined the TAG (Techniques D'Avant-Garde) group, and the TAG Heuer name and logo were created. Now one of the most recognized and sought-after watch brands in the world, TAG Heuer continues its reputation of innovative design and technological excellence, creating prestigious timepieces that are always at the cutting edge of precision, reliability and style.
