- www.insidesimra... presents our review of the RS Formula sim racing chassis. This is the latest creation by RSeat and is a move in a completely new direction. This rig has featured never before seen in a racing rig. It also comes in at a price point a little higher then you might expect. Will this premium rig hold up to the rigors of Darin and Shaun? We put this incredible rig through some vigorous testing and let you know how it holds up. When we are done you will know the pros, the cons and our final score.
We covered Power and Glory mod and the Monsta Display as well. Also talked Project Cars and Raceroom experience last month. What would you like to hear about or see us cover ?
This is one of those rigs where a large vertical FOV would be most helpful...imagine a 6-monitor eyefinity setup! You guys should test that out!
Thanks again for a great video. You guys are the best. Thanks to y'all I now own a brand new rSeat GTR. As you know, it's virtually the same rig as the EVO except some pre-drills for the fan/Thr wh/ped patterns. I own a g27. I am new to this and am showing many people how much fun it is. My wife's boss is an atty and loves FI. He went to Tx and I'm sure saw this rig. He can afford one. I'm gonna get'm hooked by leaving my rig for a rainy weekend. Thanks again, masters of the wheel!
Speaking of F1. For the past 10yrs, for me this is the best season.
It took some getting used to.. Once I relaxed and realized how much better it felt, I put my head back. - Darin
I just watched this for the second time. What a rig. I believe this was the best video you guys have ever made. I bought the GTR after watching your vids. rSeat rocks. So does Dimitri.
I have been racing this rig for two years. I agree with the 9 of 10 only if you also race using a shifter for GTE or Nascar races. I do have the Fanatec shifter but had to put the rig on a plastic pallette(s) to mount the shifter forward of normal location. The seat structure does not have clearance for your elbow movement if the shifter is in the normal location. The Fanatec shifter is too tall for the Rseat factory shifter mount to work without covering the triple monitor on the right. If you need a shifter get the situp rig version.
2 things
1. You could use the mouse mount for a shifter mount
2. F1 will be on NBC sports next year
Can't wait for the FoFoFu One review that you guys mentioned! $1600 vs $100ish... :)
Actually I'd love to see something about the new & improved EVO V3 you've been talking about. I was on the fence since it seems one of the best rigs for it's price but you've mentioned that the seat comfort wasn't that good and the pedal plate could come down but now that these minor problems seem to be ironed out I might buy it now. Btw. I love your work and appreciate what you're doing for the sim racing community. You're my #1 source of information. Keep it going, guys!
Tried a VisionRacer Vr3 carbon ..with a pre fixed g27 ..felt very comfortable and sturdy, though I certainly have not tired as many rigs as u ..but amongst the few i had the playseats, the rennsport and the Vr3 ..i felt the Vr3 serves the best value for money ... and I thing i forgot to mention since I own multiple wheels n pedals too ..i loved the pre drilled wheel and pedal plates ..its a superb touch .. but see all comes down to that Niche sitting posture !! lolz ..keep up ..u guys rock
It was Webber talking about it, it was on SPEED. Only thing I can think is that only taller drivers have to deal with it on entry and exit or something. Not sure where I can look to find that clip. It was either on F1 debrief or a clip played before the race. I wish I could remember which race it was.
I just saw a cutaway schematic pic on f1technical net and it looks like the column goes straight through the cockpit about level with the ground. I don't see how their legs wouldn't be any where near that column. maybe some are different than others, but I'd like to see a pic of where the driver's legs are in the cockpit. I know they were talking about it this year on SPEED like I said. Board index » Formula One » Aerodynamics, chassis and tyres >Basic principles of an F1 steering mechanism
Think about where the steering wheel is. Look at the angle and the center of rotation, just follow that. Also they were talking about it, calling it a column, not a "post" obviously, and how they have to deal with it between their knees while driving. I believe it was Webber in the '12 Red Bull, but not sure who it was. It was on SPEED channel this year. I'll have to find that clip- but it was on TV, so it'll be hard to do. Believe me when I tell you, they have to deal with the steering column.
Good work on the video guys. You look really professional now.
F1 cars have a center post... so a center post wold be more realistic in this case. Nice rig, but it should be able to quickly adjust to a normal position AND have a shifter mount for that kind of scratch. Nice review.. getting off topic makes the reviews better BTW.
I agree, I wanted to buy the VR3 but it's adjustability is just nowhere near the top-range of rigs. I still prefer my HumanRacing GT Chassis though, it has more adjustability than this RS Formula (except for the pedal-angle everything else is better on the HumanRacing). Seat is very comfortable and as it is now below 1000 $ it is a lot cheaper too.
I've been in love with formula 1 and rally all my live and this is a cool rig; but I would like to see a rig that you can change to all the different racing positions, that would be awwsome!!!!
Thank you!!! I wanted to see a review of this driving seat!
If there was a shifter on this, it should be like in junior single seaters that still got a seq gearbox where the shifter is mounted to the right of your knee, where the nick of the legs are, that would be superb! :)
Great review. Seating position doesn't bother me. The cost is not easy to swallow, I agree. But I would prefer more cost cutting of materials so that the price is not so high. $1,000 is my limit. It could do without the fiberglass and custom paint. All that really matters is the structural bits. The bodywork should be sold separately. I am kind of bummed there is no shifter mount too.
The pedal base flexes on that fiberglass nose. That's worrying. Also the fiberglass is prone to easy damage.
I hope more companies come out with F1 Rigs for N.America so it will drive the prices down.
Looks like there's quite a bit of pedal plate deflection, surprised they didn't say anything about that.
Love the show guys.
Also props to Washington for legalizing it.
Would be great as a second rig allowing you to swap to a full open wheel experience but sadly not an affordable option, not to mention the space needed. I also would not want to give up on having a shifter which would indeed not be comfortable on this if it was your only rig. Interesting review and product nevertheless, I hope they sell this too which is great for the simracing industry so bring this level of quality/customisation to a standard rig RS!
I would like a shifter mount on this I think its just another option to take it to the next level. Not all open wheel cars use paddle shifting such as the Lotus 79/49, Star Mazda, Skip Barber 2000 as wheel as a few others. But over all this rig looks intense and I think I would rather have this over a motion sim rig just because of the seating position. I am more of an open wheel racer and sitting in the upright position racing a Williams F1 just lacks the authenticity. This is just my .02's
I dont know weather any one else has said this, but the colours represent the F1 trams well some of them i.e the black and gold Lotus, the silver and red McLaren
That depends on what you prefer. Latest liveries(licensed material etc) or an actual simulator. I think this exclusive rig deserves a real simulator and not a game IMHO.
Not only for open wheel cars guys, the HPD and every modern Prototype car going back to the 1960's? they've all used this sitting possition!
In a Formula Renault (02-08 car) they had a seq shifter it was positioned on the right side of your knee a littlebit futher back so I guess some formula cars still have seq shifters aswell as H-paddern like the USF 2000 car they run as a stepping stone in the road to indy.
What an awesome rig. If I had the room AND the budget, it is a no brainer. But until then my GT Omega EVO will suffice.
i meant the wheel n pedal plates of the rseat RS formula which u reviewed ..not in vr3 ..juss in case people get confused
Update on how rFactor 2 is going would be interesting.
A little imagination, a sports car seat from the junk yard 25$. (Leather covered and adjustable. A few scrap pieces of lumber. And you have just a fine racing setup as anyone. Oh, I have a G25 wheel and a new Thrust master H shifter. Use the old broken Logitec shifter for buttons and shifter for emergency break.
I wish Versaro would send you guys a rig to review.
Disagree there bud.. When we tested the Vision Racer it was not even close to being the best. If they made some significant changes, we'd like to see them.
This is what i heard,"We don't want to piss off rseat because I want them to keep sending us their stuff, (even if it's used.) However, this is the most ridiculously priced rig we have ever tested and it only "feels good" with F1 cars.We would really only give this a 6 or 7 but our options are limited so we will rate it a 9 like everything else.You guys start speaking what you REALLY feel and these companies will start worrying about what YOU think because the racing community listens to SRT!!!
If I had the money, I'd buy it.
I have to buy one of these now !
Although this looks pretty sweet, I can't possibly justify getting this over an Obutto R3volution. A little less than a thousand dollars is still more than I want to spend but it seems very well worth the price.
You missed Darin's classic crash and walking away in a slight huff at the end of the show :P
its because of this review that I bought the rs-formula
The pro's & cons are legitimate.- Shaun & Darin are just trying to put themselves in the audiences position. Once you have sat in the rig it all makes sense. The quality is excellent and going to last many years.
Starting with your top pick, hands down what are your top 3 favorite rigs or best rigs you've ever tested?
The Problem is , what is If you are Not driving a Formula Car ? Street Cars or gt Cars in this seat Position , omg
For me the best rig on the market is the gt Academy rig , its Perfect . When will you guys Test this rig?
Want one, but I lack a gaming computer...
Gotta win the lottery!
This is 10 years old. How would it handle the newer highter torque wheel bases? How about pedals like VRS? Is that pedal plate stiff?
Con: no speaker mount option without the dbox motion platform.
Hey, the MP4/4 had this driving position with 3 pedals and an H Pattern
Can you guys do a video on your real life cars?
That is definitely car porn but I'm not into that position and I need a stand alone shifter mount. For that kind of cash I can get a Vesaro. That looks to be the best rig out there for all around types.
Good honest review.
are you talking about the humanracing rig? that one is nice rig!!!
I have noticed the way the buttkicker is attached to this rig,I have a buttkicker and it tells you in the instruction manual NEVER to mount it on its side as this can cause damage to the internals of the device ??
What is that button box?
I would hardly call it boring, I had never even heard about this rig and as a simracer I would consider this to be excellent information, sorry mate but I certainly would hate to see them stop doing these types of reviews so SRT take take note that you almost have 8K reviews on this!
If you take a moment googling to find out what people in the business consider is a good simulation of the real thing you will find out that F12012 is not very close to being a "good" simulator. But if you want to drive just for fun, without needing to practice a lot, F12012 may be a good choice(for most people).
It looks pretty bad ass though.
Well I know there is a center post there.. I saw it.
F1 cars definitely don't have a center post that's for sure the tub is tiny as it is and made of CF, there would be no reason to have a post in the middle, I have been in the Mclaren cockpit and there definitely wasn't one there
From the netherlands i am in for a night race i love the rig looks amazing but that price WOW dear dear dear Santa....
Any planned coverage on the rally expansion for Forza Horizon?
Speaking of Sebastian Vettel: he obviously prefers the Playseat RBR1 ;-)
see this video on youtube: "Sebastian Vettel testing the new formula 1 driving simulator Playseat RBR 1"
Can I fit Heusinkveld pedals to the rigs plate and will the plate withstand heavy brake pedal pressure?
guys is there a chance of you reviewing the playseat f1? i couldn't find any reviews
Are we going to get a mouse and keyboard add on for us EVO users? Someone please let me know or link to some other option.
Is it just me or does every review score a 9/10? Please try and get another number for once.
Tritton AX Pro I think ... not sure
at 2:43 what was the button panel next to the thrustmaster formula wheel?
Simrig are just like cars, all kind of prices and models. SO WE JUST FOUND OUT THAT EUROPEAN SUPERCARS ARRIVED AT THE MARKETS, if you want to have one of those you have to pay the PRICE of perfection, not the overpriced profit.
Ok, that price includes wheel screens etc, fair enough.seat only ?1599 au
Now you guys need to find a $1600 wheel to go with it! So glad I'm a freakin millionaire......
Is the simucube 2 going to be compatible with this rig?
21:53 May I see your license and registration please, sir? You are under arrest :P
Are they any US dealers who sell this?
could you tell me the monitors you use in the ring plz ?
That's £300 worth of equipment, tops.
What wheel are you using there?
i want one in carbon fiber!
5:23 What headset is that?
Too bad no games support multiview for 6 screens yet.
by the way the price has dropped to $1,297.00
What type of games are use playing
$1599 bargain, on the rseat website it's listed $4999?.
Insane amount of money....
Or.. They can use a simulator like rFactor or iRacing instead.
Gamers cockpit website Australia, sorry, $4999? Why the big pride tag? I'll import from states
New for 2013 driving simulator
ok.. we will.. lol
Tritton
a lil too expensive ..considering u wont enjoy driving street legal production cars sitting on this one .. only recommended to hardcore fans of open wheel racing cars ..for other the VisionRacer Vr3 is still the best all round option .
At £1000 this is a very expensive toy. I have read a few reviews and a lot have downgraded this seat because of the flexing on the pedals. I noticed this flexing at around 17:13 - 17:16 on this video. Does the flexing notice/interfere in game play? For the money surely everything should be solid and extremely high quality. With a noticeable fault that has not been commented on, can the cost really be justified?
+Race Line the rig has a D-Box which also simulates the motion, hence the flexing.
ha.. you could sleep in that
kkk.. Cole have a funny voice!!!
