FIA-Licensed Wide-Fit Fixed-Back Sim Racing Seat
Next Level Racing® ES2 Sim Racing Seat

The Next Level Racing® ES2 Sim Racing Seat is a fixed-back, FIA Official Licensed sim racing seat built around a durable fiberglass shell with a premium hydro-dip carbon finish. Its wide bucket profile, generous shoulder support, integrated leg bolsters, high-density foam, and PU-leather and suede cushions create a more comfort-focused alternative to the firmer ES1 while preserving the rigidity expected from a side-mounted performance seat.

FIA Official Licensed Product Fiberglass Fixed-Back Shell Up to 42-Inch Waist ButtKicker Mount Included
Simulator use only: The ES2 is designed for simulation and esports. It is not approved for road use or installation in a real vehicle.
ProSimHQ Expert Insight
The Better Fixed-Back Choice for Drivers Who Need More Room Than the ES1

The ES2 shares the fixed-back side-mount concept of the ES1 but uses a wider bucket shape, more generous shoulder support, and additional comfort-focused cushioning.

We recommend it for GT, drift, touring, track, rally, and commercial simulator builds where rigidity matters but the user needs more room than a narrow competition seat.

What we like most: The ES2 combines a rigid shell, 42-inch waist compatibility, and a direct rear ButtKicker mounting point in one visually distinctive seat.
Hydro-Dip Carbon Fiberglass Shell

The ES2 uses a durable fiberglass shell with a hydro-dip carbon finish for a high-end motorsport-inspired appearance.

Fiberglass Construction

Provides a rigid fixed-back structure for demanding simulator use.

Hydro-Dip Carbon Finish

Creates a carbon-fiber visual effect without claiming full carbon construction.

Fixed-Back Stability

Maintains a consistent driving position under strong steering and braking inputs.

Wide Bucket Comfort Design

The ES2 offers a wider, more forgiving bucket profile than the ES1 while retaining strong shoulder, torso, and lower-body support.

Up to 42-Inch Waist

Supports a broader range of users than many fixed-back racing seats.

Generous Shoulder Support

Stabilizes the upper body without creating an excessively narrow fit.

Integrated Leg Bolsters

Help support the lower body and promote consistent pedal control.

High-Density Foam and Premium Cushions

The cushion system combines high-density foam with PU leather and suede contact surfaces for support, grip, and long-session comfort.

High-Density Foam

Provides shaped support through the seat base and backrest.

PU Leather and Suede

Combines durable trim with a more secure contact surface.

Integrated Rear ButtKicker Mount

The included rear mount allows a compatible ButtKicker transducer to attach directly behind the seat.

Direct Seat Feedback

Transfers gear shifts, engine vibration, road texture, and impacts through the seat.

Cleaner Installation

Provides a dedicated mounting point rather than relying on a separate cockpit clamp.

ButtKicker transducer, amplifier, cabling, and software are sold separately. Confirm the exact ButtKicker model and mounting requirements.
FIA Official Licensed Product

The ES2 is part of Next Level Racing’s FIA Official Licensed simulator-product range.

FIA licensing does not make the ES2 a certified road-vehicle or competition seat. It is intended only for simulator and esports use.
Cockpit Compatibility

The ES2 is a side-mounted fixed-back seat. Compatibility varies by cockpit.

Direct Compatibility

F-GT Elite Lite, GTElite, F-GT Elite, and F-GT Elite 160 families.

Bracket Required

GTElite Lite and GTtrack require Universal Seat Brackets.

F-GT Requirement

Requires Universal Seat Brackets and removal of the shifter assembly.

Not compatible: NLR currently lists GTRacer 2.0, Go Kart Plus, and Victory Cockpit as incompatible.
Seat Sliders and Brackets

Seat sliders and side-mount brackets are not listed as included with the ES2.

Add the correct Universal Seat Brackets and compatible sliders separately when the selected cockpit or driving position requires them.
Who Is the ES2 Best For?
Broader Fixed-Back Users

Supports up to a 42-inch waist.

GT and Touring Racers

Balances bucket support with broader comfort.

Rally and Drift Drivers

Integrated bolsters support active pedal and steering inputs.

Haptic Builds

Includes a dedicated ButtKicker mounting point.

Commercial Simulators

Wide fit accommodates more users than many fixed-back seats.

Showcase Cockpits

Hydro-dip carbon styling creates a distinctive visual centerpiece.

Compare ES2 and ES1
If Comfort and Width Matter More

Choose the ES2 with its wider bucket and comfort-focused cushion design.

If Maximum Rigidity and Firmer Support Matter More

Compare the ES1 fixed-back seat.

Shared Fit Rating

Both support users up to a 42-inch waist.

Main Difference

The ES2 emphasizes comfort and broader shoulder support; the ES1 is firmer and more competition-focused.
