Product Overview
The Next Level Racing® ES2 Elite Sim Racing Seat is an FIA Official Licensed Product, purpose-built for sim racers who demand a seat that looks as good as it performs. At the heart of the ES2’s premium appeal is its durable fibreglass shell, featuring an industry-first hydro-dip carbon finish—offering a sleek, motorsport-inspired aesthetic that highlights any sim racing cockpit. With a wide, body-hugging profile that supports users up to a 42” waist, and ergonomic enhancements for long-session comfort, the ES2 strikes the perfect balance between immersion, durability, and professional-grade style.
Leading Features
- The hydro-dip carbon finish of the ES2 isn’t just a detail—it’s a statement. Industry first, sleek, modern, and motorsport-inspired, it gives the seat a high-end aesthetic that commands attention. Wrapped around a durable fibreglass shell, this finish delivers both strength and style, making the ES2 as visually impressive as it is performance ready.
- With a wide bucket seat shape and generous shoulder support, the ES2 offers a versatile fit for a range of sim racers, up to a 42” waist. Its hybrid design introduces more comfort compared to the firmer ES1, making it perfect for GT, drift, touring, club, track and rally disciplines. The integrated leg bolsters enhance lower-body stability for better pedal control, while high-density foam and PU leather/suede cushions ensure all-day racing comfort.
- As an FIA Official Licensed Product, the ES2 is made for racers who want realism without compromise. Designed to integrate seamlessly with the Next Level Racing® Elite Series cockpits and compatible with a wide range of side-mount cockpit setups, the ES2 is the perfect upgrade for those demanding true-to-life performance and immersive design.
- The ES2 Seat now features the option to mount a ButtKicker directly to the rear of the seat with the included ButtKicker mount, delivering powerful vibrational feedback straight to your core. Gear shifts feel sharper and more impactful, while road textures and effects can be tuned lower for greater separation and immersion.
