The Next Level Racing Elite ES1 is a fixed-back rigid sim racing seat, compatible with side-mount cockpits, aimed at drivers who use load cell pedals or motion platforms.
Built with a five-axis roto-moulded polymer shell and moulded PU foam, the Elite ES1 removes the flex of conventional reclining seats and holds a stable posture lap after lap. Its suede upholstery adds grip and a motorsport look, and its brass inserts integrate it with cockpits and haptic accessories.
Key features of the Next Level Racing Elite ES1
- Fixed single-piece backrest: no flex or twist, with sharper response under heavy braking and acceleration.

- Moulded PU foam and suede covering: comfort during endurance sessions plus extra grip.
- Capacity up to 250 kg and a 42” waist: robust for drivers of any build.
- Seat belts included: more immersion and a better experience on motion platforms.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Next Level Racing Elite ES1 recline?
No. The Elite ES1 is a fixed-back, single-piece seat built for maximum rigidity. If you want a reclining Next Level Racing seat, the PRS and ERS ranges recline.
Which cockpits is the Elite ES1 compatible with?
It uses a universal side mount, so it fits Next Level Racing cockpits (F-GT and GTTrack with side brackets, and the Elite range) and aluminium frames from other brands via the NLR seat brackets.
How much weight does the ES1 seat support?
The Elite ES1 supports users up to 250 kg and up to a 42” waist, thanks to its five-axis roto-moulded polymer shell.
Does the Elite ES1 include seat belts?
Yes. It ships with Next Level Racing seat belts, which boost immersion and improve the experience on motion platforms.
Is it compatible with ButtKicker and haptic systems?
Yes. Its brass inserts let you mount ButtKicker units and haptic transducers, with up to 98 mounting configurations when combined with the official brackets.
What is the difference between the Standard, Ford GT and Scuderia Ferrari editions?
The difference is cosmetic: they share the same shell, foam and capacity. The Scuderia Ferrari Edition adds an embossed shield on the headrest and red officially licensed Ferrari seat belts; the Ford GT Edition carries Ford GT branding.
