Playseat® Evolution PRO - Red Bull Racing eSports

Product Information

The R9 produces 9Nm of torque from its direct drive motor. It features a much smaller form factor than the R21 as it uses the exterior casing as heat sync allowing it to remove internal fans. You will require a racing wheel and set of pedals at the very minimum to get yourself up and racing. Beyond these peripherals, you can look at additional peripherals such as button boxes for extra control in-game, or manual shifter add-ons. Although, if you’re racing modern-day F1 cars in a game such as iRacing or F1 22, you won’t be needing an additional shifter peripheral as you’ll be using the paddle shifters on your sim steering wheel. Wheel base One of the additional benefits of this sim rig over the previous Playseat sim rig is additional adjustability. You can change the driving position much more on the Formula Intelligence allowing you to replicate the driving position from various motorsport series.

It’s a high price to pay, but you’re getting an extremely high quality seat with the Playseat F1 Ultimate Edition. Pair it with a quality wheel and pedals (we chose Thrustmaster for that), and you’re giving yourself the best chance of a good lap time.

Next Level Racing has increasingly increased its presence in the world of 8020 sim rigs by releasing more and more 8020 products. The inside of this racing seat is covered in padding to give you a comfortable sim racing experience even after hours behind the wheel. The padding wraps up the side of the racing seat to cacoon you in, giving you an immersive sim racing experience. At the end of the sim rig, the pedal mounting solution doesn’t feature a traditional pedal plate. Instead, Treq has opted for using various strips of aluminium profile to give you greater control over how you mount your sim racing pedals. On the side there are a series of different mounting points. Most racing seats include a single mounting point allowing for limited customisation. However, the ES1 seat features multiple mounting holes. He produces and hosts two popular podcasts, EFTM and Two Blokes Talking Tech. He also appears on over 50 radio stations across Australia weekly, and is the resident Tech Expert on Channel 9’s Today Show each day and appears regularly on A Current Affair.

Often the trade-off of being able to attach almost any peripheral to an 8020 rig outweighs the aesthetics and design of the rig itself. Next Level Racing F-GT Elite This screen is used to showcase a range of live telemetry from in-game including lap times, tyre temperatures and more. This addition really helps immerse you into your sim racing. And it makes this one of the best formula-style steering wheels available currently. Next I’ll take a look at a set of sim rigs which are often referred to as 8020 rigs. This is a reference to the size of the aluminium profile that is used in their construction. Despite the name, many of these sim rigs actually utilise aluminium extrusion which is much larger than 80x20mm. Red Bull Racing are holding an auction for an NFT collection over the weekend of the Monaco Grand Prix. A special one-off Monaco-edition Playseat simulator rig will be on display, and seeing some racing action with drivers and Red Bull Athletes during the race weekend.

Perhaps critically, the Playseat F1 Ultimate Edition is suited more to those homes or places where there is more than one driver. With our Red Bull seat, my kids need to adjust the Pedal length, steering column distance and the reach of the steering column. Each adjustment is really tight and quite hard to do – impossible for an 8-11 year old frankly.However, I would recommend the MOZAZ R9 wheel base if choosing a new wheel base to act as a hub for my setup.
