The Playseat Formula Intelligence F1 Edition is a professional sim racing cockpit with an official Formula 1 licence, a rigid flex-free frame and a black PU leather seat, engineered for Direct Drive wheels and Load Cell brakes.
Developed over more than a decade alongside real Formula 1 teams and drivers, it faithfully reproduces the driving position of a single-seater. Its lightweight tubular frame in carbon-quality steel does not flex under the torque of the most powerful Direct Drive equipment, and its rigid pedal plate delivers millimetre-precise braking with load cells (Load Cell). With official F1 livery details, it is the choice of those who want to compete at the highest level. Includes a 2-year official Playseat warranty.
