Hi,

If you do get a playseat, let me know what you think to it, as I am thinking about get one, sometime this year hopefully.

My only worry is I am 6ft 5" and heavy, so would I fit in it height and would it take my weight, but currently on diet.

Anyway let me know if you get one

I dont like the centering pole were the wheel is attached, it makes it hard to reach the brakepedal when its there, but anyway i will order one seat today becouse its the only one out there that i have tryed and it seems to hold up good even after a while, and i think the G25 pedalrack can be adjusted to fit good on playseat, at least i hope.

Just dont know if i will go black or white, white looks better but i think it may look used very fast, the black i think will last for years of racing.

Hehe one dissapointment is that after some hours my ass starts to hurt, playseat is quite hard in the padding but i must say that i still love the chair.
One nice thing is when going over curbs or similar the whole seat shakes if the ff is high on the wheel. I dont think i will ever miss my officechair again

Havent test the old one myself but i heard that its not quite as "solid" and flex more then the new one. But at least you dont get that anoying pole betwen your feets.

Playseat was developed for G25, they even have a special edition where you can have the shifter special holder, but from my side i would not go for the version where you have the frame middle consol inbetween your legs, i think it is too much disturing the driving.

The frame in the middle is the new version, But on the website it says i doesn't support the g25 because it doesn't fit the gear shift and buttons on the metal plate.
Attija do you use paddles or the gear shift on your g25

Paddles all the time, simply because this is the fastest possible way to shift gears.

Nope, maybe with brute force it can be done, but you can change it to left and right so that take away the centering pole problem pretty much.
About G25 fitting, in the new playseat you even got screws to mount the pedals and the steeringwheel with so its a perfect match.
