The Playseat Challenge DD F1 Edition is a foldable sim racing cockpit with a Formula 1 driving position, reinforced and ready for Direct Drive wheels, with a seat in breathable ActiFit fabric.
Designed in collaboration with Formula 1, it brings the authentic single-seater posture to home sim racing: it places you close to the floor, with your legs raised and the wheel in the ideal position. Unlike the standard Challenge, its high-carbon steel chassis and the X-Adapt and Twinlock locking technology give it the rigidity needed to support high-performance Direct Drive bases. It folds in seconds, stands upright when folded and features integrated wheels so you can move it with the wheel and pedals installed. Includes a 2-year official Playseat warranty.

Frequently asked questions
How does it differ from the standard Challenge?
The Challenge DD F1 Edition reinforces the chassis with high-carbon steel and adds the Twinlock locking, which prepares it to support Direct Drive bases. The standard Challenge is not recommended for Direct Drive.
What are X-Adapt and Twinlock?
X-Adapt is the adjustment system that lets you personalise the driving position, and Twinlock is the locking mechanism that fixes the structure firmly to provide the rigidity needed in demanding sessions.

What heights and weights is it designed for?
For drivers from 120 to 220 cm and 20 to 163 kg, with a wide seat and depth and backrest angle adjustment.
Does it include a wheel and pedals?
