Great product to add on to your digital racing experience.

The seat is made and feels just like that of a top of the line automotive seat manufacture (Sparco or Recaro). It's just too bad that I can't mount this up to my car.

I wish I could give a four-and-a-half star rating to this because the only problem I have is in figuring out how the replay mode works. I have only seen replays at the end of races and the graphics quality is not nearly as  good as the in car view. The owners manual doesn't help much in this area.  Everything else in this sim, except the A1 drivers, is superb. There are  enough car tuning parameters to make even a GPL fan happy. The tracks look  exactly like they do in the real life on-board camera shots(except for the  sun-glare). The lack of adverse weather didn't hurt GPL, and it doesn't  really hurt F1 2000. It does require a lot of hardware to run this sim.  I've got 160m RAM and a Voodoo3 card and it works just fine. I've got  Eidos' "Official" F1 sim and this annihilates it in every area,  especially in graphics lighting and car tuning.

If you're into sportscar racing you'll enjoy this. The physics engine is good, and the structure of the game is well-thought out. It's not strictly linear, but does makes it pretty clear what you need to do at any given time. The tracks are well-rendered. Having been to a number of them, I can say that they did a good job of capturing the feel and atmosphere, especially of the Le Mans track. Highly recommended.

Forza Motorsport is Microsoft's  grand attempt at breaking the strangle hold that Grand Turismo has had on the racing simulation.  The attempt is certainly a very impressive one and quite welcome as well.  First of all we start with vehicle selection of over 200 cars from Ford, Nissan, Porsche, Mecedes and more that will be available through content download off X-Box Live.  With this many cars to choose from, it makes for great replay capability.  The game features several different modes of play including Arcade, career and of course multi-player online, also greatly adding to the replay value.

In Arcade mode you can compete in six different vehicle classes.  Most of the cars are selectable but many have to be unlocked through gameplay.  In all the arcade mode offers 186 races in 31 different events making it a tremendous challenge.  But Forza Motorsport really shines with the tremendous career mode option.  You start by selecting your home region which dictates the cars that are available for use with a starting number of six in each region.  From there you start your career at the bottom in the amateur circuit to race and build credits towards buying new cars, buying parts or making modifications to your existing ride.  Just the paint and decal selections to modify your car's look offers hundreds of options.  Credits are also used to unlock higher levels of competition to get more challenges.  There is also a pretty cool reward system where you can gain discounts on parts from certain manufacturers.  When it comes right down to it, the sheer number of option and modifications that you have available to you can be pretty overwhelming, but if you're looking for depth in this department then this is the game for you.

The graphics and sound are just fabulous and top Grand Turismo in every way.  The cars look showroom accurate and the various tracks and locations you race on are just stunning!  The music offers several options including adding your own custom soundtracks.  With it's sheer number of options and great play Forza Motorsport is a fantastic race simulation.

This was something my dad wanted me to order for him.  If you have the money for this particular one, then I very highly recommend getting this one.  The older version is probably good too, but this model has games to race against and keeps track of your progress as you go.  You can also see where you rank amongst others which is pretty cool.

I love this product. I've had it almost a week. I have no issues so far except mounting. The wheel mounts no problem but the pedals are the tricky part. I made a mount for the pedals. Look at images. Btw works with all Xbox one racing games. It's just not as accurate on some games.

Bought two of these to time competitive races.  because the races were held only once per year, it was somewhat difficult to remember the details of the watch operation which is why I used two - one as a backup.
The memory function was very helpful and proved to be reliable.
I would buy it again.

Excellent Game for the Money, bought this for my console after playing it a friends place. Its a great racing game with a twist. Plus there is downloadable content from the XBOX market place, that will make this game even more enjoyable. Note that the downloadable content is not free, but does not cost that much... around $5 for the new content.

If you want to customize your car, and make tweaks etc before racing then this game is not for you. I have forza motorsport as well, but I am enjoying this game a lot more. Thats just me personally. What I like is how unpredicted the game is, with all the action that is going on.

For a fun enjoyable game, purchase this, you will not be disappointed.

I purchased this after a going through a lot of reviews and recommendations online. It was not my first choice as I was looking at a wheel like Thurstmaster Ferrari but in the end settled for this.

Am I glad that I did go ahead and purchase this. It is a great product and we (me and my kids) love it. The controls and force feedback are accurate. It has made playing racing games more enjoyable.

As an avid racing game fan, I always wanted a racing cockpit. I had looked at some in the past, but found them to be on the expensive side ($700+). Race Driver Grid was recently released so I purchased the Logitech G25 wheel from amazon and it was then I noticed the Playseat Evolution cockpit for an affordable price. I did a couple weeks of research, browsing various forums and tons of reviews to find the quality and opinion of others first; all of which were positive. I went ahead and ordered the seat and within a few days it arrived. It was packaged extremely well and installation was a breeze. After only a few minutes the chair was assembled and ready for the G25. Upon mounting the G25 I realized just how much the seat was configured for it. The package came with extra bolts that mount up through the bottom of the wheel and pedals and hold them securely. I then spent a little while directing the cables for the wheel around the bars with zip ties. The seat is extremely stable, comfortable, and really feels like an actual racing seat. It is fully adjustable so any size person can quickly set it to their height. I later ordered the shifter adapter and once installed that completely finished the cockpit off. The seat also can quickly fold down to a smaller size to be put away, another feature I really like a lot.

PLAYING GAMES:

Playing racing games in the seat has moved to a whole new level for me. The level of immersion and realism is outrageous. I ended up playing all kinds of games on the PC and PS3; Grid, Grand Turismo, Need for Speed Carbon, Most Wanted, TrackMania were all awesome to play. Even my old racing games felt completely new! Every single friend of mine that has come over to try it out claims it feels they're at GameWorks playing a massive arcade racing game. I definitely know that now I will be spending many many hours playing every new racing game released for quite some time. I highly recommend the seat to anyone who enjoys racing games. Also, make sure you purchase the shifter adapter, it really completes one hell of a cockpit.

And the software is awesome too! This thing is helping me train for marathon #2 and so far it's helping me run faster than I was before. The software allows me to add my schedule online and see all the details of all my runs on the dashboard.

I love motorsports, especially F1, but this is my first racing game and I love it. I have been playing it all day and am really impressed by all the different cars and the realism of the racing. The scenery is great, but your hands are so full just racing, you don't have time to enjoy it. I play with the Xbox 360 wireless wheel and it works great. Great game that truly lives up to all the great reviews.

Update 17 May 2013. A already gave it five stars, but this racing game is so much fun. I love the choice of cars and how realistic they look and sound as you are racing. As you are driving down long straights at 170+ mph, you can feel the impression of speed and danger. I really hope they come out with a Forza 5 and add all the F-1 circuits. This game is so much fun, I am considering getting one of the more expensive racing wheels with pedals.

You can get a terrific jump start into the slot racing hobby with this set. There is so much that can be done with it. It comes with 6 digital cars and 6 hand controllers. Folks, that's a lot right there. The power base and display have great capability. You can program for timed races, lap races, and just having fun going around and around by yourself and trying to get the best time. For those of you who remember the original versions of slot car sets you remember you could only put one car in a slot. If you put the car on backwards it would try to run backward. If, somehow, two cars managed to get onto the same slot one controller worked them both and the other racer had no control at all. Not so with digital! Each car is assigned to a controller which has independent control over that car. You can overtake cars, or leave them in the dust if you are in front. The action is so much more exciting than the old sets from the '70s. An important feature of this set, to me, is that you can program the car to run slower. This is great in setting up the car for younger players who get exuberant and spend most of their races spinning out and putting the cars back on the track. It's not fun to see a child get frustrated with something like this and walk away hating the game. The controllers can be calibrated (equalized) so that nobody gets a fast or slow controller. You can set up a "pace" car (or cars) that runs all by itself. This can add excitement to a race and is nice if you just want to have an "opponent" to complicate matters when you are playing by yourself. The controllers are very sturdy and quite simple in design but they do the job wonderfully. The cars are sturdy. If you want to play demolition derby style I suppose some parts would come off with abuse. However, the loss of a side mirror or spoiler is just cosmetic. The car still looks great without it and will still run well. We've not broken anything yet because we play by rules and intentional crashing and banging is discouraged. But hey, if you like demolition derby and have fun like that, then by all means go for it. You'll lose some trim pieces off the car and probably bang up the finishes a bit but these sturdy cars will still run fine. This set is expensive, that's for sure. But if you add up the costs of all the parts if bought separately you will save a ton of money getting started with this set. It's pretty tough to find a car with a digital chip installed for less than 50 bucks so there's 300 right there for cars. Controllers are about 25 bucks each so chalk up another 150. The power base and display is about 150 purchased separately. You need two power supplies to run 6 cars so that's about 150 dollars there. Track averages about 7 dollars a piece and often much more. You get two switching tracks in this set and they would run about 70 dollars. Well, you get the idea. This expensive set is really the cheapest and most substantial start to get into this hobby.

The only negative I have is that the instructions for programming the power base are really terse (lousy, actually). I had to go online and find explanations for what everything meant. There are some great videos on the Scalextric site that really opened my eyes. So that took a couple of hours and then actually practicing with the programming and going through all of its features and testing took a few more hours. The funny thing is, is that it is all so easy now. If you don't want to program anything you can just push a button and start racing. If you want to geek out and set up every  little detail, you can do that too with not much trouble once you learn how to do it. Also, I wish the display were lighted. In a well lit room there's no problem though.

My final thought is that this is a terrific set with high quality parts and it is fun. It's not inexpensive, but it is a great value if you expect you are really going to get "into" this sport.

Good quality wheel with resistance that feels close to real driving without spending a buttload on force resistance wheels. All the buttons function well and the unit is easy to hook up. It would be nice to have a slightly longer cable for the wheel so that I do not have to sit so close to the TV. Also, the pedals are attached to a baseplate that, while looking nice and having good grip on top, is very light and lifts up off the ground when pressing the pedals. If you don't have a full racing chair setup, you may want to either weigh it down/attach it to something heavy, or look at alternatives. Overall, really good product and is fun to drive with, rather than a joystick on a controller.

This product is great for creating a fun competition for yourself. Because it tracks and compares as you go you not only want to beat your previous day, but you can track larger goals. It's easy to setup and I keep it with my cell phone so that I don't forget to put it on in the morning. Setup was simple with easy to follow instructions and I look forward to tracking even more exercise goals. As someone who does not exercise regularly, this motivates me to create more exercise in my day, take that extra set of stairs instead of the escalator, walk around an extra block on my way home, etc.
