Throw in a highly attractive price and the convenience of being able to fold it away, and you have a certified winner. I have some space. But still, I wanted to use the Challenge right now. I will see what will happen when I get everything here. Compatible with all steering wheels and pedals currently available, including Logitech, Thrustmaster and Fanatec The seat is secure, with the adjustable hubs rated to support up to 330 lbs (150 kg). This means you can adjust things like the angles and heights of each part without fear of the seat crumbling beneath you.

It should match your medium-term or long-term aims for your setup. Are you hoping that your rig will hold a Direct Drive or hydraulic pedals once you’re ready to make the step up? This is a good option for those that want a comfortable seat with adjustable mounting options. It's designed to be easy to set up, and it's a comfortable choice for longer sim racing sessions.
