I just had a GT Lite Pro gifted as a birthday present, and I really wish id seen this review before attempting to put it together. Your video made it a much more simple process than the instruction booklet and my skillset made it! The locking mechanism with red latch that locks the seat in place is really tight on mine, so its hard to loosen and tighten for set up and pack down. Im hoping that regular use will loseen the mechanism up a little. Also, the use of a strap between the front and rear bars of the seat (along the floor) is genius. I've used black electrical tape for cable management rather than the supplied small Velcro straps, which was just personal preference. Overall, its a bit too early to say whether this is going to be a good rig or not, but as I'm a casual gamer on PC (Assetto Corsa) and PS5 (GT7 and EA WRC), so long as it sets up snd packs down between gaming sessions, I'll be happy. My first hour session agrees with your observations that the seat is comfortable to sit in and well ventilated. The padding is more than sufficient, so its an improvement on the kitchen chair I was using up to now... 😅 Overall, this was a really good review. Even though ive already purchased one and set it up, I still found it valuable to show how simple it should be to fold away and store. That was the key factor in why this rig was purchased in the first place.
My son has the GT Lite but this one seems nicer with the cushion seating. His folds up the same as well. Seams the assembly on the Pro is more easy cause I felt attacked assembling his seat😂 Great video!!!!!
@@TheBurleigh22 my son is 11 and he’ll be 5ft the next time he sneezes lol. He’s not really into the racing as much yet, I got it cause I thought I was doing something that was going to shock him. Now I’m introducing him to the VR world.
GT LITE PRO. Great review. Wasn’t sure about how the folding would go with the wheel etc still attached. I’ll probably get one now based on what you’ve shown.
Very fair review. I've TWO of the GT Lite rigs, and using the storage strap to lock the vertical movement of the wheelbase (tying upper horizontal bar - wheelbase - to lower bar - front of chair) really, REALLY adds to stability. I'm thinking I may even manufacture a simple metal (not huge!) bar to completely stop vertical movement, as this seems to be the biggest issue with this rig, tho as you say, it is NOT a real issue when driving. I'd slip a sort of clamp at the front of the wheelbase plate and connect it to a rod or bar, and connect that to the bottom horizontal bar. I can't understand why NLR didn't think of this.
So glad I came across this video. Your attention to detail is amazing and I'm very glad because I just came across one of these through Facebook marketplace for the wonderful price of $180 and for me that was very good considering the owner only had it one month. I'm hoping that I can break it down to store it as easy as you made it look. Once again thank you for such great content.
I'm actually thinking of getting the GT LITE PRO! I'm new to sim racing and finally got a Logitech G29 racing wheel and shifter for my PC and PS4. Great video 👍🏽
Me too, I have the g29 with the pedals and shifter, and no seat, it has been collecting dust, and I have psvr2 with gt7, and now WRC23 is coming out, I am pulling the trigger on this seat.
This seems better than having to use twist ties to run a Playseat Challenge with load cells and a DD. But the PSC looks like it’s more compact when folded.
Great review as always! "GT Lite Pro". Also - question: considering that you've reviewed this AND the Logitech Playseat, do you think the Playseat (Trophy) is worth the extra premium? Both don't have real racecar seats so I'm leaning towards the GT Lite Pro. I'm also getting the Logitech G Pro Wheels...
They're both good seats but you get a bit morr value for money with this one as the frame is slightly more ridge with a normal positionfor the shifter, but the Playseat is best if you're limited for space as once folded it takes up a minimum amount of space.
Nice video it's very detailed and we'll explained, I have a video request, well if you can make it, can you make a video showing how to do cable management in this cockpit and similar one? Thanks!
at about 5:50 minutes you had mentioned that the screws and washers included were too small for the mounting of the pedals. You kind of blew through this critical part of the review. What screws did you use to mount your pedals? Did you go out and buy longer M6 screws to go with the bolts and washers?
I am very interested in this but I am seeing some reviews trickle in about the stitches coming out of the chair bottom. Even for somebody that is 64kg. Have any experience with this? Otherwise, it looks like a banger of a setup for entry level. 'GT Lite Pro'
Hi, I recently purchased an F-Gt lite iRacing edition and was wondering whether this is better to hold DD wheels and if the F-Gt lite is good enough for DD bases. I've been loving the rig so far, but I'm looking forward to upgrading my wheel and I'm wondering if I should return my current rig and get this one instead.
Hello I have a few questions! First I noticed on the left side of the rig that has the strengthening strap when I tighten it like you did, I have some strap left over. Is this normal? Also as far as the shifter plate goes, I just got a th8s but it only has a desk mount. Can a shifter be mounted to this by a clamp or just by a bolt? I'm new at this sim stuff, so I hope I'm asking the questions right.
Have you tried out the Playseat Challenge X? I just bought that one but it arrives tomorrow and after seeing this video I'm not sure which one to go with... I want a foldable one for space but I heard that the shift mounting plate is not adjustable on the Challenge X.
@geekstreet i've got a logitech challenge X and want to mount a Logitech Pro wheel on it. With your experience how do you think they will work well together, is that to much powe (Nm) for a folding seat?
Does anyone know what next operations return policy is, I ordered the gt-lite just about two to three months ago with no knowledge of this coming out I would definitely pay the extra money if I could exchange my gt-lite
I was wondering if u can't send me an Logitech g920 plz I really want one I would really appreciate it plz I really want one but my parents can't afford to buy me one
Great to see a GT Lite Pro review that shows the folding process and gives an idea of the space it uses. Thanks!
You're welcome!
GT LITE PRO
What a great clear, to the point, complete, no nonsense review.
If only all RUclips reviews were this good.
Thank you.

Tring to work if Fair Review is a good or bad thing 🤔😅 A single bar from the wheel to the pedals would completely stabilize it for sure.
@@GeekStreet I meant to say a VERY good, balanced review. Well done.
@@supercededman thanks buddy

Would you recommend this or the Playseat Challenge?
just ordered mine, can’t wait for it! making the upgrade from a racing stand, this should be enough for me. gt lite pro 👍🏼

Just a question: can you buy extra shifter holder

hi i just wanted to say i love your videos
Thank you so much ❤️
Great review bro 🙏🏽💚

I have 1st generation! Very good!!! 2nd gen is perfect!! Seat is more comfortable!
👌
My main concern was, "Do I need to purchase additional hardware for the steering wheel, shifter, or pedals?", thank you for answering!
Great review really helped me out. Thank you.
I order this last night and a thrustmaster tsxw i can not wait to try it 😀
Nice enjoy!
i think i will buy this chair GT Lite PRO. Perfect review give all information needed

Is it able to go into a formula seating position?
No unfortunately not
GT Lite Pro! Thanks for nice succinct review
I feel like if they added a support bar maybe two to addd stability for the wheel mount would be good. I’m sure they could make a mod or something.
That would definitely help
Thanks for the great video! I just ordered one of these today! I can't wait for it to arrive!!!
I wonder and worries how handling force feed back on wheel. I play Gran Tourismo.
GT lite pro. I’m struggling to choose between this or the playseat trophy
If your limited for space go for this, otherwise i'd say go for the playseat
lovely review. straight to the point!
Thanks for this, by the way how did you connect the Shifter to the G Pro Racing wheel?
Using the Logitech Racing Adapter check this out ruclips.net/video/bcOJ_iGkwKU/видео.html
@@GeekStreet Thank you very much, glad to know they have an adapter now XDD
im putting this together right now and the washers are wayyyy too small for the pedal mounting...now i gotta go out and get bigger ones
hello mate, do you recommended this to all gamers? cheers
If your limited for space then definitely
How do you screw the pedals to the pedal plate without the screw falling off all the time? Did you use bigger washers?
I have this Gaming Rennsitz ARB-F1 from ARB Industriesysteme. Very good.
Looks like 80's exercise equipment.
I am very interested in this but I am seeing some reviews trickle in about the stitches coming out of the chair bottom. Even for somebody that is 64kg. Have any experience with this? Otherwise, it looks like a banger of a setup for entry level.
'GT Lite Pro'
Great great review!! Is there any way we can put the shifter on the right side instead of the left?
Is it possible to position it to make it like an actual car? Like adjust it so that its similar to a real car seat
My desk is twice the height of that stand in the video. Can you possibly raise the chair sitting height? So your not so close to the floor
So with this cockpit it wouldnt be as recommended for a setup for PC with a monitor right? Cause there is no monitor mounting connection?
Just a question can you buy extra shifter holder

I've been loving the rig so far, but I'm looking forward to upgrading my wheel and I'm wondering if I should return my current rig and get this one instead.
If you're going to upgrade to a DD wheel I'd say yes return your current one as the straps at the front provide additional rigidity.
does the flex for the g pro racing wheel really a big issue? am i missing out much by not getting a proper rig to support the G pro DD wheel?
Nice video ! What s the size when folded with wheel base and pedals ?
GT Lite Pro 🤙🏾

my right reclining knob won't budge at all. i assume this isn't normal? my product did come in with a damaged box

This or the challenge x?
This one as a better build
Great review. 🙂
Thanks!

WOW bro, lovely driver seat good play game bro, lud it

Have you tried out the Playseat Challenge X? I just bought that one but it arrives tomorrow and after seeing this video I'm not sure which one to go with... I want a foldable one for space but I heard that the shift mounting plate is not adjustable on the Challenge X.
ruclips.net/video/7MiYvdXt8hg/видео.html - Yes I've reviewed. This is my link to the full review
This vs the playset challenge x?
The playseat takes up less space but this has a better build and a normal location for the shifter mount plus more adjustability.
@@GeekStreet thanks
@geekstreet i've got a logitech challenge X and want to mount a Logitech Pro wheel on it. With your experience how do you think they will work well together, is that to much powe (Nm) for a folding seat?
I've tested and it generally works well there is a video coming out next week to show it in action
does it come with the wheels
GT lite pro or GT Racer
First. I’m thinking about getting this
🥳
but there is no way to buy this thing I'm in Canada and its available only in 2 sores 400$+ tax + shipping which is alot
Excellent review
Can I build this so the door swings open the other way?
No unfortunately not
@@GeekStreet ah. Thanks for the answer.
This rig is quite easy to get into without unlocking it, IMO anyway. I leave mine and just hop in.
Gt lite pro 👌
Is this Sim Cockpit Pro suitable for ATS/ETS2?
Yes
Does it come with steering wheel or no
No
Does anyone know what next operations return policy is, I ordered the gt-lite just about two to three months ago with no knowledge of this coming out I would definitely pay the extra money if I could exchange my gt-lite
Can I position the shifter mount to the right side instead?
Yes
how is this prize
Gt lite pro ❤

What is flex? Im new in racing sim.
People are are refering to movement in the frame while racing as this has a thin frame there with me some 'flex' or movement on the frame when racing
@geekstreet This or playseat gran turismo?
Playseat Gran Turismo
@@GeekStreet thanks. Do ya think the Playseat Gran Turismo headrest height is longer than the NL GT Pro? Or rather can fit an adult 1.76m to 1.81m?
If I get the gt lite pro how high should I have my monitor
Just above the middle of the wheel base
