The ActiFit fabric is thick and spongy but still breathable, so you can do lap after lap in it without overheating. The actual cockpit of a racing car is often a hot, sweaty, uncomfortable place to be, but you could almost fall asleep in the Playseat Challenge. A raised bar at the end of the pedal mount stops them sliding away when you stamp on the brakes, but there’s also a separate strap included in the box for holding them in place laterally – it looks a bit DIY but does the job.īy default the seating position is slightly reclined but still fairly upright, a bit like a bucket seat you’d find in a high-performance car, but it’s easy to loosen off the straps on either side for a lower, more laid back, F1-style driving position. It took me about 15 minutes to put the Playseat together, but it’s only really a case of slotting in the headrest, securing the seat with the heavy duty Velcro straps, and inserting the (slightly stubborn) pivoting metal platform for your steering wheel. But if it’s tenths you’re fishing for rather than tench, this racing chair is ideal for anyone who doesn’t have a lounge the size of a Formula 1 pit garage. With its metal frame that folds down to about the size of an ironing board, the Playseat Challenge ( £199/$250) looks a bit like something you’d take for a long day sitting on the river bank.
