    I'm 73 years old. I've been a race fan since I was about 6. In those days I would go to the stock car races at our local track once a week with my Dad. I looked forward to it every week. As an adult, I continued my love of racing - even starting to build a car about 40 years ago. I never got to race in a real car on a real track, but my love of racing has been satiated by sim racing. I've been racing for just over a year now, and feel the only thing keeping me away from the podium is the seat I'm sitting in. If I had a GT Omega seat, I'd be on the podium every race. Please help make an old racer's dream come true.

    Can the shifter support rail be mounted on the right hand side out of the box for N.America...and then will the reclining lever for the seat interfere with it? Seems great for UK drivers but im on the fence as a US driver.

    I recently went for a job interview at a furniture removal company. the boss called me into his office, with a little grin he said to me "take a seat".......
    I can only apologise for that terrible joke. but the comp would make me push buy on the Prime frame I have been eying up for the last week. Thanks for all the videos Karl been so helpful in choosing my next upgrades.

  • @simplematters17
    @simplematters17 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Currently rocking a T300 on NLR GT Lite. If for some reason I'm picked for the giveaway, well then I guess I'd have plenty reason to finally upgrade the rig to an 8020 cockpit, and a DD wheelbase, and nicer pedals, and bass shakers, and so on and so on.
    If you want to enable this neverending addiction I'd be very grateful to tumble down the slippery slope of rig upgrades. Thanks for the videos! Always appreciate the honesty!

  • @docd3d

    Karl, I’d like to put my name in the ol’ hat, my reasoning being that I’m currently looking to get something better than the portable beach-chair setup I currently use and get a big-boy setup. My gf does not agree, and living in Norway -our gracious (and stupidly rich) government puts a vat and toll on all things almost doubling the price of anything shipped from abroad, when looking at seats, they are usually 5-600£ by the time I get them, not to mention the rig itself. So basically, saving some cash on the chair might mean my gf doesn’t kick me out, hence might b a lifesaver (as mentioned, live in Norway, going homeless in winter is a bad ida, it’s coooold)
    Thanks for your review and honest and down to earth approach. Much appreciated

    Sup Karl, thanks for your reviews and discount codes, with ur help i decided on a Apex Stand some time ago and now i save for the second part of the rig (frame + seat) your chair would help me tremendously since money are a bit of an issue where i am from, for now im using a shaky old office chair with my Thrustmaster T300 RS GT and when i do a quick feet action on pedals my hips are moving like a do a belly dance sitting and when im hard braking i can see the moon, Karl, THE MOON 😆
    Anyway, ur reviews are v helpful so KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ! 💯

  • @VaGosPtr

    About two months ago i ordered a T300 rs gt and i was searching for a wheelstand, while i was looking for a review video your channel pop up. I end up getting gt omega apex pro with your discount. Since then i watched so many of your videos while im looking for future updates on my beginner simrig. Soon or late i might go for RS6.
    If i win the carbon seat you giving away it will be a huge thing. Anyway thank you for the detailed reviews. Greetings from Greece.

    To give you a little bit of background. My wife wouldn't let me have a rig because of space concerns, she gave me the option to get a cockpit if I sell my sofa-bed, the one I used when she sends me off the bed because of my snoring. Long story short I miss my sofa bed, but there is light coming from your review, when you laid down in the RS12, I saw myself there (without you, just the seat and I) sleeping comfortably. This seat would replace my sofa-bed and also be my race seat! I win my wife losses! Thank you!!!

    Hi Karl, I’m a recent convert to Sim racing. Always been into VR, but not really tried racing in VR. Watched your channel for a while now and with the recent GT7 VR update announcement on PSVR2, thought I’d give it a try. You should not give me the seat because the look my wife gave me when I walked in the door with the Playseat Challenge and a G29 (following your earlier review) was priceless! Keep up the good work pal :)

  • @bfife22
    @bfife22 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Great review! I've had this seat for about a month now, and the only complaint I have is the fabric on the base is loose/folded a bit already. Everything else about it is much better than the RS6, especially the temperature and back support. The fact I can race in jeans and a long sleeve shirt without getting insanely sweaty is so nice. That would've been impossible in the RS6. One thing to note is how wide the seat base is. Depending on where you have your shifter arm it may press against the seat pretty hard

    Once again an honest review, like you I hate my PU leather office chair. Currently waiting for my Prime Lite to arrive after watching your review, first cockpit, finally got the missus on my side. I was on the fence and didn't order a seat yet, I was waiting on your review for this seat this because the dimensions are important for me and like you I get hot when racing and I don't need anymore pleather in my life. This would be a great addition to my new prime lite, I wouldn't need a spatula to pull myself from a PU seat.

    Hey Karl, great review as always and really agree with you regarding cloth vs PU Leather. I have an Extreme Sim Racing rig and the seat that came with it is very lacking (no slider, minimum padding - pressure on my legs, etc.) I have a separate lumber support from my real car and an additional foam pillow I sit on, so I really, really, really, need your giveaway GTOmega seat. Thank you for considering me!

    Good review as always! Karl, I need the seat because I am in the process of upgrading my rig, been upgrading everything else first since no one has ever said 'upgrade the seat first' and I've been blindly following advice given by random TH-camrs. So I've been forced to use makeshift choices as a seat and by now using my sequential as a seat is getting a bit painful. So a proper seat would appreciated. Thanks!

  • @Mediocrity_In_Action
    @Mediocrity_In_Action ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Karl, I love the channel. I bought the GT Omega ART off your review. Also, did your upgrades stiffen it. I need that seat so I can give it to my buddy. I have a buddy who wanted to get into sim racing. I had a Moza R5 bundle and decided to upgrade to an R9, GS wheel, and Asetek pedals. I gave my R5 bundle to my buddy and recommended he look into getting at least a wheel stand. He ended up buying a GT Omega ART... but without a seat to save money. So he is racing with the full frame assembled, and an office chair plopped all tippsy turvey on top, lol.

    Hi Karl I'm very new to the sim racing world and currently have a folding NLR GT-lite and I have to use your foldaway video every time I have to fold it away because its so damn complicated 😂 I feel as if I'm getting better in fact I think my best foldaway time is faster than my PB around the Nordschliefe at the moment (probably something I should not boast about) anyway enough waffle. I think you should give me the seat because I'm trying to persuade my wife to come on board with the idea of me upgrading to a prime lite when we move in to our new home if i get the free seat she will have no choice in the matter and you will forever be my hero. I watch every one of your vids because frankly your product reviews are the most truthful and relatable thanks for reading and whether you choose me or not please keep the great content coming because you're the best!

    @CoryRexford ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hey Karl,
    Totally agree that fabric seats are superior to leather or fake leather seats in all aspects. I finally upgraded from having my wheel mounted on my desk and pedals on the floor to having a wheel stand, GT Omega Apex. When I'm using it with my desk chair it feels like I'm missing something that the GT Omega RS12 (planning on getting the Apex Rear Seat Frame at some point) would solve by allowing me to sit lower and have a more appropriate driving angle. This should give me more confidence on the brakes that I'm not going to roll backwards and left off the brakes.

Thx again Karl

    Nice mate, I recently bought the R12. I got the Carbon PVC which part PU Leather and part fabric (fabric in the centre where it needs to be). With the current discount + ur discount code it came to around £177 which isnt too bad. Not the best seat in the world but for the price its decent (the next seat options are around £300)

    Thanks for the review Karl, I've got the Prime Lite on order after your review of that. Here's my pitch for the RS12 seat. To the tune of 'One piece at a time' by Johnny Cash
    I'm getting it one piece at a time,
    Hopefully the chair won't cost a dime
    You'll see my rig if you come to my town,
    I'm gonna ride my Omega Prime Lite,
    DC2's on the left and right,
    And an RS12 when Karl sends it around,
    Well it's a 21, 22, 23, hopefully not a 24,
    Gt Omega Prime Lite .............
    Fingers crossed 🤞

    Karl, Thanks for the review. I have been waiting for a review since these appeared on the GT Omega website. SHould have known you would be first.
    Why should give me the GT OMega RS12 seat is because I will be getting a GT Omega Prime rig, yes I will be using your link, for my 15 years long service award but the pennies in the company do not stretch to include a seat. So a rig without a seat and only an apple box to sit on will be... 1. Not very comfortable. 2. Not very practical for sim racing and 3. I would then have to put a video of my rig on YT for people to slate my rig, so I would end up being a laughing stock more than I am now 🤣
    I live in the UK and willing to collect if needed. Saves you delivery costs.
    Once again thank you for this review and the other reviews you do on your channel.

    Got one with the Prime Lite. I'm not small, 110kg and 180cm tall and it feels a big seat to me with loads of room so if you're on the chunky side you've no issues fitting in this. I also have back problems, had 2 lumbar spinal ops, and managed 4 to 5hr sessions with no issues although I do find it a bit more comfier using the lumbar support but in real life both in the car and the truck I drive I do have lumbar raised to the max in those.

I'm looking to upgrade from a wheel stand with armchair to a full rig but a bit hesitant to order something I can't really try out, especially since, even for a dutch person, I'm quite a bit bigger than average 😅 and my back is messed up as well, so the chair had to be good.

      I do have a problem with the seat being to flat on the bottom part and no way to angle up the thigh part of the seat. I'm going to have to modify the mount at the front of the seat to get angle up.

    I would imagine one could mod it to make the chair swivel by mounting on a board and mounting the board to the chassis. This would be ideal for me if the chair is comfy. You could easily clip it in so it wont move whilst driving. Turning it around to use for other vr games would save me alot of space. (I sit alot playing as I have lower back issues).

      @@hoopdaboop Yeah Ill see when it arrives Friday (Titan). Short on space so It would be nice to be able to. But hey, Ill probably only play GT7 when I get it, so for me...probably unnecessary. What I did realize was how easy ANY office chair, taken off its wheel base can easily be modded to fit these rigs. A 300$ office leather chair is way more comfy than a 600$ racing seat.

    Karl, great review as always. One question if I may, are other seats easily compatible with a Prime Lite rig / aluminium profile? Ie does an All profile rig make it compatible with any seat on the market?
    I'm at the stage of getting into sim racing properly. I've just sold my play seat challenge and thrust master set up and have a Fanatec kit needing a proper rig!
    Also, I need you to please give me that carbon seat because my two children, my cat and I (I'm a lone single parent) are about to move in with my girlfriend who has a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy. Put simply I NEED A COMFY PLACE TO HIDE and this will do just nicely!
    Cheers and keep those videos coming :)

    Your review made the new seat sound really appealing. I wish it had been available when I bought my setup from GT Omega. The best reason I can think of for you to send the Carbon Edition to me is that I'm too cheap to buy it for myself.
    I love your videos, Karl. Take care 🙂

  • @HerkusMantas

    1. Great review as always. 2. Why I should get the seat....The good lord above saw fit to bless me with quite possibly the sweatiest posterior he's ever built (almost impressive) that said me and leather dont tend to get along and i'm looking to upgrade from my NLR GT Lite to something aluminum profile and this seat 100% fits the bill. So no pressure but you have a unique opportunity to save a budding sim racer from some backne problems and likely some strange looks from his wife and kids.

    Karl please give me the RS12 - I'm putting together my first full proper rig and struggling to justify the costs to my long-term partner... So far I've justified my second-hand T-GT ii and T-LCM pedals by saying it's going to be useful for teaching her to drive! Obviously not 100% true... but she's bought the excuse so far and kinda shrugged it off! She is about to start driving lessons but as you can see I'm scraping the barrel a touch, and could use a freebie to help justify the rest of the cockpit. Aiming to get a GT Omega Titan or similar to go with it ideally. Love your content either way - keep up the good work 👍

    Well, I think I deserve to win the GT Omega Sim Racing Car Seat because not only am I an avid sim racer, but my cat also happens to have impeccable taste in furniture materials. As a discerning feline, my cat has made it clear that PVC plastic simply won't cut it in our home. So, in order to keep both myself and my cat happy, I need a high-quality racing seat like the GT Omega RS12 to ensure that we can both enjoy the ultimate sim racing experience in comfort and style

  • @KyoshoLP

    Currently I've got a one-armed bucket seat from the back of a minivan I picked up off the side of the road. It's leathery (likely pleather). Got a Driving Force GT with MOMO pedals (the wheel was missing its pedals, and they were cheap and work with it) clamped to a basic wheel stand I built out of an old shelf and some MDF. Took me a while to put that setup together (originally had a Driving Force Pro, which is identical to the GT but has an even smaller wheel), and I'm trying to upgrade the whole setup over time on very little budget. You should give it to me because, uh, my setup kinda sucks, and let's be honest here, the real reason is because I'd have less sweaty balls. No one likes sweaty balls. Except your mom.

    I went from a Honda Accord adjustable seat to a fixed back NRG Prism. I was worried about not having the adjustability, but it’s so amazing. No flex, insanely comfortable, and looks so much cooler. Take my advice and skip these cheap seats that every rig company sells and get a full bucket seat. It’s worth the extra money! Also with an adjustable seat you set it once and never move it again, so what’s the point? 😂

    • @racdude01

    The rs12 carbon seat would make a great addition to my non existing sim rig, Fairly new to sim racing so currently have my setup on a desk but i am planning on upgrading eventually(with your codes of course) to a Prime lite as i have not a lot of room and the prime lite seems to be a perfect size to fit, however i believe that my cat would love another chair to make hairy whilst i'm not using it and when i want to sit down give me a look of absolute disgust!
