Next Level Racing – New ES3 Elite Sim Racing Seat

Next Level Racing has introduced its new high-end ES3 Elite Sim Racing Seat available as a Full Carbon Fiber Edition and a Fiberglass Edition. These fixed-back sim racing seats are designed for serious sim racers who prioritize structural rigidity, immersion, and hypercar-inspired aesthetics.

Reclining seats are not so good if you have the punishing forces of heavy load-cell brake pedals or the high-torque Direct Drive (DD) wheelbases, so a fixed-back seat is especially useful. Deep, sculpted shoulder supports and articulated side bolsters grace the seat. The cushion of the base is angled on purpose, so your body doesn’t slide forward when you brake hard.

It features precision-molded, high-density foam covered in a hybrid material layout, using soft-touch synthetic suede where your body contacts it, with durable PU leather sides. There are also built-in air channels to dissipate body heat for longer endurance runs. The geometry of the seat is optimized to comfortably fit drivers up to a 36-inch waist size.

Every ES3 seat includes bespoke custom side-mount brackets. These let you adjust the height and tilt angle of the seat to perfectly mimic a GT or hypercar driving position. It is fully compatible with Next Level Racing’s flagship cockpits (like the F-GT Elite and GTElite series) as well as most third-party aluminum profile rigs. It is also structurally reinforced to seamlessly handle tactile transducers, haptic systems, and full-motion platforms.

Pricing:

• The Next Level ES3 Elite Full Carbon Fiber Edition Sim Racing Seat is available for €1,299 / $1,399 / £1,299 + shipping.
• The Next Level ES3 Elite Fiberglass Edition Sim Racing Seat is available for €499 / $599 / £499 + shipping.

Full Carbon Fiber Edition Features:

• Full Carbon Fiber Shell: Unlike the fiberglass variant, the entire structural bucket shell is built out of premium carbon fiber, delivering an incredibly lightweight profile without sacrificing structural strength.
• High-Gloss Finish: The exterior weave of the carbon fiber is treated with a premium high-gloss coating, designed to mirror the luxury appearance of high-end hypercars (such as Pagani or Koenigsegg).
• Zero-Flex Under Extreme Loads: Engineered as a rigid, fixed-back bucket seat to eliminate the natural twisting or creaking points found in reclining seats.
• Built for Advanced Hardware: It is structurally reinforced to perfectly withstand the severe, repetitive forces generated by high-torque Direct Drive (DD) wheelbases, high-pressure load-cell brake pedals, and violent full-motion or tactile haptic platforms.
• Contoured Driver Support: Features deep, articulated side bolsters and heavily sculpted shoulder supports to lock you firmly into a GT-style driving position during intense or high-G simulation movements.
• Angled Seat Base: The lower cushion is strategically tilted upward to naturally mitigate forward body slippage while heavily modulating the brakes.
• Hybrid Material Cushions: Built with precision-molded, high-density foam cushions that feature a dual-surface texture. It utilizes a soft-touch synthetic suede where the driver’s body makes contact and a rugged, wear-resistant PU leather wrapping the high-friction outer edges.
• Removable Pads & Air Channels: Includes integrated ventilation channels embedded into the foam layout to manage and dissipate body heat during grueling endurance sessions. Individual seat pads are also removable.
• Waist Size: Anatomically optimized to comfortably accommodate drivers up to a 36-inch waist.
• Maximum Weight Capacity: Safely supports drivers up to 150 kg (330 lbs).
• Bespoke Side-Mount Brackets: Ships with Next Level Racing’s custom-designed, heavy-duty side-mount brackets, providing highly adjustable height increments and deep tilt/recline angles to tailor your geometry.
• Universal Cockpit Integration: Uses standard side-mounting geometry, meaning it seamlessly adapts to virtually any third-party 8020 aluminum profile sim rig.

Fiberglass Edition Features:

• High-Strength Fiberglass Shell: The bucket frame is crafted using high-strength fiberglass, ensuring long-term durability and immense structural stability.
• Premium Glossy Black Finish: The exterior of the shell features a deep, high-gloss black coating for a clean, luxury motorsport aesthetic.
• Zero-Flex Under Extreme Loads: Engineered as a rigid, fixed-back bucket seat to eliminate the natural twisting or creaking points found in reclining seats.
• Built for Advanced Hardware: It is structurally reinforced to perfectly withstand the severe, repetitive forces generated by high-torque Direct Drive (DD) wheelbases, high-pressure load-cell brake pedals, and violent full-motion or tactile haptic platforms.
• Contoured Driver Support: Features deep, articulated side bolsters and heavily sculpted shoulder supports to lock you firmly into a GT-style driving position during intense or high-G simulation movements.
