Bsimracing Sim Racing Resources and News for the racing enthousiast.
Next Level Racing extended its lineup of Sim Racing Seats with the new PRS1 and PRS2 models.
In their own words, the PRS1 and PSR2 seats combine the secure feel of a motorsport bucket seat with the adjustability of reclining adjustability and comfort supporting users up to 38” (PRS1) and 40” (PRS2) waist. The design mimics the contours and support lines similar to those found in high-performance supercar interiors.
Key Differences:
The main distinction between the PRS1 and PRS2 is related to the supported waist size and overall width, which impacts the “fit” of the seat:
- Next Level Racing PRS1:
- Fit Type: Described as a “Performance Fit” or “Supportive Fit for Serious Racers.”
- Supported Waist Size: Designed to comfortably accommodate users up to a 38-inch waist. This indicates a slightly more snug or “race-focused” fit.
- Product Dimensions (Width): The PRS1 has a width of 49 cm (19.3 inches).
- Next Level Racing PRS2:
- Fit Type: Described as a “Comfort-Fit Design for Wider Range of Users.”
- Supported Waist Size: Designed to comfortably accommodate users up to a 40-inch waist. This means it offers a slightly wider profile compared to the PRS1.
- Product Dimensions (Width): The PRS2 has a width of 53 cm (20.9 inches), making it 4 cm wider than the PRS1.

PRS2 Features:
- Immersive Bucket Seat Feel with Reclining Comfort: The PRS2 is engineered to provide the “locked-in” sensation of a true GT-style racing bucket seat, giving you maximum immersion and connection to your sim. However, it combines this with the adjustability and comfort of a reclining seat, making it suitable for long racing sessions without compromising on support or performance.
- Comfort-Fit Design for Wider Range of Users: A notable difference from the PRS1, the PRS2 features a “Comfort-Fit” design. This means it offers a slightly wider profile to comfortably accommodate users up to a 40-inch waist (compared to 38 inches for the PRS1), without sacrificing the supportive feel.
- Industry-First Adjustable Lumbar Support: Like the PRS1, the PRS2 includes an innovative, integrated lumbar support system. This allows racers to quickly and easily adjust the lower-back support to their personal preference, promoting better posture and reducing fatigue during extended sim racing.
- Smooth Double Reclining Mechanism: The seat utilizes dual recliners, providing precise and stable adjustment of the seat angle. This robust mechanism ensures durability and allows for fine-tuning your seating position.
- Dual Seat Sliders: Equipped with dual seat sliders, the PRS2 allows for effortless forward and backward movement. This is highly beneficial for finding the perfect racing posture and makes the rig easily adaptable for multiple users.
- Breathable Performance Mesh: The seat is upholstered with high-quality, breathable mesh fabric. This material enhances airflow, helping to keep you cool and focused even during intense and prolonged racing sessions.
- Supercar-Inspired Design: The aesthetic of the PRS2 is inspired by the sculpted seats found in high-end supercars, featuring contours and support lines that contribute to both its visual appeal and ergonomic design.
