Was it worth paying $1000 for a sim/racing seat?

  • I recently went to Sparco's southern California location to pick up a new racing seat for my sim racing rig and hopefully future track car. At $1000, it's very pricey but is comfort and safety (if using in a real car) ultimately worth it?

    Haha, I'm a Cuban lady sim racer and I haven't found a seat to fit my hips yet! 😂

      So much this, as a very tall woman, finding a seat that isn't for the average median male, it's infuriating. Leg support is missing for me along with way too tight hips/sides and also not tall enough back/torso. I think the sizing for these seats is to to keep out women ;) just kidding, but it is really annoying and making some seats with better back heights and widths and bases with adjustable length and width is long overdue.

    Great video! I've been considering a Sparco seat to upgrade my ASR one; this helped a lot! This Sparco store looks really cool!

    For my first DIY rig I had a Honda Prelude seat.Got it from the junk yard. It was great! Wouldn't mind getting a SL Benz or Corvette seat. Needs to be able to recline nowadays 😂

    Pickup up a floor model of this seat at Summit Racing outlet for $450. Loving it so far! And I had the same thought about switching this into a future track car to justify the price.

    That's exactly my experience with the sparco formula seat. I replaced it with the lusomotors mk8 2s and it's awesome.

    I use an FIA grid Q and absolutely love it. I have the same seats in my E36 M3 track car. I'm not a big guy and its fits snug 34 waist so not sure why you said it's to wide. Besides in the QRT range the differences between the seats are very minor mostly the cushions change but yeah 1500$ is quite an investment for just a seat lol my back thanks me everyday since I had 3 operations so this seat is very comfortable. Great choice NRG are bargain seats mostly and it shows.

      The sparco rep basically told me to skip that one based on my size if I remember correctly so I really didn’t spend a lot of time with it. And similar to the formula, I quickly knew it wasn’t for me when I sat in it briefly. But that could have been my mistake and perhaps should’ve given it more time.
      One thing I forgot to put in the video is the importance of the size of the seat and physically having it fit into smaller cars which was a factor he told me to consider too with his recommendations being the either the EVO or the QRT so that’s also where I spent most of my time comparing. Also the two that felt the best for me.
      I hear you on being way better on the back. That makes the price worth it no matter what haha.

      @Aero Veloce yeah for the car fitment I understand. All I wished is where you sit it was thicker I replaced so many in my car lol

    Great channel. At 55 years old, I am going all out with an lime green ASR Pro rig with DBox motion. Finding a comfy seat is extra important to me due to daily low-back pain from military injuries back in the early 90's. With some time gone by now since you made this video, could you recommend me a comfy low-back friendly seat....up to $1200 I am willing to spend if needed. Thanks! :)

    Your cert will be expired by the time you put it in a real car. Better to get the non cert if not racing.

    Buying a seat tomorrow I’m stuck between NRG primes $500 Canadian ha Sparco evo QRT $1200 Canadian if this really worth double the money for a sim rig

    • @AeroVeloce
      @AeroVeloce  ปีที่แล้ว

      If you can get the nrg from somewhere like Amazon with really easy returns in case you don’t like it, I’d try that first.

    • @AeroVeloce
      @AeroVeloce  ปีที่แล้ว

      The highest tier gpu you can fit into your budget will always be the best. But I would recommend 4070 tier at least or better.

    You could've bought a better used real car seat for a tenth of the price.

      Not sure what decade you live in but you can’t buy a better used car seat for $100.
