What G25 cockpit?

[v1paul]

I've had my G25 for nearly 2 years now and have been using it with a playseat classic which has been pretty crap for the money. I would get a playseat evolution but they are £330 in the UK which is about $530 and I think this is a rip off. What decent g25 seats are available in the UK for about £200 - £250?

As far as I'm aware, that's usually how it is (though some of the Lay-Z-Boy - or whatever they are - models can be had for under your budget). For what it's worth, I spent a bit of time myself on this subject and ended up loading out with a Wheel Stand Pro and a good-old-fashioned bean bag (although space was a factor for me, so this might be a more appropriate for people reading my response with that concern)!

I can adjust it how I want and it set me back only £65 for the bag, with beans (the stand was £110). The bean bag does require 'puffing' for a comfortable sit; but get it right and it's as good as any racing cockpit out there (wanting perhaps only extra height for those that require it)! Getting a good-sized bean bag is important though, as you'll likely want to be comfortable and have support where you need it (such as the back and neck). Plus, they're also versatile, which is great if your set-up requires a bit of flexibility and/or space-saving.

Otherwise, seats can offer the rigidity and convenience of just sliding into your cockpit, but I too was put off by the fact that you'll have to pay up big-time to get it.

If you don't need to fold your rig away and have a little space, I highly recomend building your own from wood, cheapest, most sturdy and customizable method.
