Next Level Racing ES3 Elite Fiberglass Sim Racing Seat
Built around Next Level Racing’s ES3 platform, this seat combines a hypercar-inspired shape with sculpted side bolsters, shoulder support and precision-moulded cushions. The upholstery combines high-density foam, soft-touch synthetic suede, PU leather sides and integrated air channels. An angled seat-base cushion helps limit forward movement under hard braking, while the fixed shell is intended for demanding simulator setups rather than road or vehicle use.
Why choose this product?
- The high-strength fiberglass shell with a premium high-gloss finish provides a rigid foundation for high-end Direct Drive, load-cell, motion and haptic simulator configurations.
- Included bespoke side-mount brackets provide multiple angle and height positions, allowing the driving position to be adjusted without a recliner mechanism.
Product details
Construction and support
The ES3 uses a fixed-back shell with articulated side bolsters and sculpted shoulder support. Its moulded cushion system is shaped for a secure driving position, while the combination of suede, PU leather and high-density foam balances support with comfort during longer sessions.
Fit and adjustment
The seat is designed for users up to a approximately 91.4 cm waist. Next Level Racing also specifies a supported user-height range of 150 to 210 cm and a maximum supported load of 150 kg. Seat angle and height are adjusted through the included side-mount brackets.
Mounting and simulator use
Next Level Racing verifies the ES3 for advanced setups including heavy load-cell pedals, motion platforms and haptic systems. Because fit depends on cockpit mounting points, side-mount compatibility should always be checked before installation.
