Review: Trust your Instinct - Hi Everybody! I just wanted to write a review and share my thoughts. I hope that someone finds this to be the exact information they were looking for. Assembly - Okay, first and foremost, if you’re not mechanically inclined, I can see how it would be difficult to put together, as some people have expressed. I used to be a motorcycle mechanic, and even I found it a bit tough at times. It’s definitely a slight workout as well, and I was a bit sore the next day. Oddly enough, the two most difficult parts were assembling the steering wheel platform and attaching the upper portion of the seat to the lower portion. That being said, I found the instructions to be easy to follow. Comfort – I’m a big guy. I’m 5’11” and 250 lbs, or 113 kg. I was worried that the seat may be too narrow or uncomfortable. It’s neither of these two things. The back is wider than the Playseat Challenge X that I upgraded from, and once you adjust the seating pads in just the right way, it’s as comfortable as any chair I’ve sat in. In fact, I’m finding it to be more comfortable for long sessions than the Challenge X. Quality – The Formula Instinct feels solid and tight in every way it should. There is no flex in the frame, and I can really thrash it in races without worrying that I’m going to bend or even break it, as was the case with the Challenge X. Additionally, I don’t feel like I’m going to have to replace anything for years. I wasn’t so sure about the seat on the Challenge X. Appearance – The Formula Instinct looks amazing and makes me want to go race every time I look at it. Storage – This is the tricky bit. It fits in the same space I set aside to store my Challenge X. I didn’t fold the Challenge X; I only folded up the pedals and placed them behind the steering wheel, leaving the seating position in place. However, the Formula Instinct is heavy and unwieldy once the pedal and wheels are attached, making moving it by a single individual potentially tough. The combined weight of my new setup comes out to around 62.5 lbs, or about 28 kg. To give you a comparison, the total weight of my previous setup with the Challenge X was about 38 lbs, or 17 kg. I have found that if I release and lower the U-bar that the wheel is mounted on, down to the pedals, I can stand in the middle of the assembly and pick it up from the frame, like picking up a set of dumbbells, walking it over to where its reserved storage space is. Just remember to lift carefully. 🙂 Overall – I love it! It’s the best thing to ever have happened to my sim racing hobby. The seat is a little pricey, but I justified it as an investment that will last me for years to come. desertcart also has payment plans. Assembly was pretty easy in general but time-consuming, and in hindsight, an extra set of hands to assist in holding things in place occasionally would have been the way to go. It’s easy to get in and out of, especially if you lower and raise the U-bar as necessary. The Formula Instinct is comfortable and sturdy, even for a big guy like me. The Playseat Formula Instinct F1 has been a complete upgrade in every way. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I’m enjoying mine! Thanks for reading.
Review: Great for entry level - Before assembling, separate your screws and label them. This will make installation much easier. Don’t torque the screws down immediately or you will have difficulty aligning everything. The rig is sturdy and adjustable. It is also surprisingly comfortable.
