Product Information

Know how race cars have the gear shift next to the seat? That’s the way it should be with sim racing. That’s why the Playseat® Trophy – Gearshift and Handbrake Holder’s right for you. It will help put you in the right position for a podium finish. Assembling the Playseat Trophy – Logitech G Edition took me about an hour to do by myself. The instructions are pretty straightforward and all the pieces required, and a few extras, are included. The seat consists of thirteen pieces in total, as well as various bolts, knobs, and washers. Oh, and it comes with white gloves to help protect the frame during installation.

Looking from the side of the Playseat Trophy, the frame starts under the wheel plate and angles down at roughly 45°. The first leg, so to speak, is about 25″ in length before curving down into a rounded 90° corner for another 9 1/2″ before curving upward for another 27 1/2″ (extendable to ~32 1/2″) then a final 90° corner down for the final 24″ of the frame underneath the seat. At both the top by the wheel plate and under the seat, the main frame tubing curves inwards and joins together with the other half of the seat frame.

Once positioned properly, tighten the knobs and you are good to go.

The chassis is rigid and strong and built for high-end direct drive wheelbases and pedal sets. So, is a seat frame worth it for racing games? In the past, I’ve gotten away with a simple wheel stand and based on the wheels I was using, it was more than suitable. However, with the direct drive wheel, something more substantial is definitely needed. When reviewing the PRO Wheel and Pedals, I found that it did tend to vibrate my computer desk or table when used on PC or Xbox. With the wheel stand, it wasn’t much better.
