![]() On many rigs, you can adjust the wheel deck quite freely, tilting it up and down to create a comfortable wheel position which matches the seat position and your driving style. The only aspect of this rig which isn’t customisable enough is the wheel angle. I found that I had to raise my TV slightly to create the best viewing angle from the CSL Seat. However, keep in mind that, because the seat is so low, you may need to adjust your screen setup. ![]() If you haven’t used a sim racing seat, or sat in a race car before, it might well take some getting used to, but it creates a very authentic racing experience. Regardless of how you adjust the seat for your personal comfort, most of the seating positions are very low. The seat supports weight of up to 200kg, 400 lbs or 41 stone. However, if you’re at the top end of this height scale you are definitely going to find it a little less comfortable. Fanatec say the seat supports heights of 155 to 210cm or 5, 11″ to 6, 10″. You can mount your pedals at a distance comfortable to you and easily adjust the seating position by sliding it forwards or backwards to find your preferred angle. Thankfully, once you get the core elements assembled, there is plenty of adjustability to help you get comfortable. This makes it much easier to see how everything fits together correctly and will definitely reduce the construction time and any frustration caused by using the paper instructions. Update: Thankfully though, Fanatec has responded to criticism of the printed instructions by introducing a video manual for the CSL Seat, which you can find on YouTube embeded below. Unfortunately, issues with fittings and instructions have tended to be common place with Fanatec products (my CSR Elite Wheel had screw holes which had not been properly threaded) and the CSL Seat continues this tradition. The seat frame is particularly poor, requiring some serious brute force to get the metal tubes into place. ![]() This gets more frustrating when some of the parts do not fit together as easily as depicted by the instructions. The illustrations are tiny, making them very difficult to follow, especially if you are inexperienced with flat pack furniture. Unfortunately, the printed instructions are not very well presented. All of the parts come in labelled bags, which correspond with the instructions to help you quickly find the correct parts you need for each step. The seat arrives neatly packaged, but requires a lot of assembly before it’s ready to play. Now, with Fanatec’s backing, the potential is there for this fantastic seat to find its way into many more living rooms. Racing fans have always been interested in Markovic’s unique design, but supply problems prevented his product from taking off. ![]() Their only previous attempt at a sim rig was a $1200 monster, so in order to create a product for a wider market they have taken on some expert help.įanatec has been working closely with engineer Renato Markovic and licensed his Rinoseat GTR, a seat which Markovic previously designed and manufactured himself. The racing community normally associates Fanatec with high-end steering wheels and pedals. Many of these gaming seats cost well over $1000, but Fanatec has now come along with a new product with a much friendlier price tag of $299/ €299. Today, more and more sim racers are going one step further by installing a ‘sim rig’ in their home. ![]() Shipping worldwide: Available from įor many racing game fans around the world, a good steering wheel has always been a must-have accessory. ![]()
