A complete GT-style cockpit with ActiFit upholstery and adjustable wheel and pedal positions. Direct Drive can be mounted in some setups, but is not recommended by Sim Race Webshop. The Playseat Evolution ActiFit creates an authentic GT and rally-style driving position with an integrated seat, adjustable steering plate and adjustable pedal plate. Its steel structure, ActiFit upholstery and compact footprint make it suitable for racers who want a complete cockpit without moving their wheel and pedals back to a desk after every session. Why choose this product? An integrated GT-style cockpit keeps the seat, steering wheel and pedals aligned as one adjustable setup. ActiFit upholstery and adjustable control positions support a comfortable driving posture for users of different sizes. Product details Driving position and adjustment The Evolution is designed around a low GT and rally seating position. The steering-wheel plate and pedal plate can be adjusted to suit the driver's reach and leg position. Playseat specifies a recommended driver-height range of 120–220 cm and a recommended driver-weight range of 20–120 kg. The centre-post layout keeps the footprint narrow, but customers using three pedals should consider their preferred foot placement before purchase. Construction and upholstery The cockpit uses a lightweight carbon quality steel frame and breathable ActiFit upholstery. The assembled dimensions are 130 × 50 × 98 cm and the product weighs 21 kg. The seat is intended for racing hardware from major brands, although the exact mounting-hole pattern and the physical size of the wheelbase and pedals should always be checked. Direct Drive advice from Sim Race Webshop A Direct Drive wheelbase can technically be mounted and used on the Playseat Evolution. However, the stronger force feedback can introduce movement, instability and creaking noises in this frame design. Sim Race Webshop therefore does not recommend the Playseat Evolution as a Direct Drive cockpit. For a more rigid Playseat alternative, consider the Playseat Trophy Black or Playseat Trophy Red, both officially recommended for Direct Drive wheels. Compatibility Cockpit platform: platform-independent; console or PC support is determined by the installed wheelbase and controls. Racing hardware: intended for steering wheels and pedals from major brands; verify the exact mounting pattern before ordering. Direct Drive: physically possible in some configurations, but not recommended by Sim Race Webshop for this cockpit.

A Direct Drive base may be mountable, but Sim Race Webshop does not recommend this combination because strong force feedback can make the frame move and may cause creaking. What is the recommended Playseat alternative for Direct Drive? The Playseat Trophy is the closest alternative in this range and is officially recommended for Direct Drive wheels. Which driving position does it provide? The cockpit is designed around an authentic GT and rally-style seating position. Will my steering wheel and pedals fit? The plates support many major brands, but the exact wheelbase and pedal mounting pattern should be checked before purchase. Are the steering wheel and pedals included? No. The product is the cockpit only; the wheelbase, steering wheel, pedals and other controls are sold separately. Please note: we make every effort to display products as accurately as possible.
