Next Level Racing PRS1 NLR-E057 reclining sim racing seat, up to 150 kg

The PRS1 backrest reclines, so the same seat lets you sit more upright as in a GT car or lie further back as in a formula car. The manufacturer does not give the exact recline angle here. The backrest angle changes how far away the wheel and pedals need to be, so it pays to set up seat and cockpit together.

According to the manufacturer the seat is designed to comfortably accommodate users with up to a 38″ waist, and the maximum load is 150 kg. Sim racing seats are often narrow like those in real race cars, so the waist figure helps you judge beforehand whether the seat will be wide enough for you.

Sim Racing Seat in the name means a seat that bolts to a simulator frame, not an office or gaming chair. It gives the cockpit a stable, repeatable seating position, which is the basis for consistent braking and lap times. Whether your frame has matching mounting points is something to check against the manufacturer compatibility list.

If your cockpit has a basic or worn seat, or came without one at all, PRS1 lets you improve your driving position without replacing the whole simulator. The reclining backrest helps you adjust the seat for both a short sprint and a longer endurance race.

PRS1 suits sim racers who already own a cockpit and need a seat with a reclining backrest for it. The 38″ waist figure and 150 kg load limit help you judge whether it fits your build. The cockpit, wheel and pedals are chosen separately.
