The Next Level Racing® Elite ES1 Haptic Feedback Sim Racing Seat combines the acclaimed ES1 bucket-style racing seat with eight high-torque haptic motors integrated directly into the shell. Designed for competitive sim racing, motion systems, advanced direct-drive cockpits, and immersive flight or VR setups, it delivers localized physical feedback without the shifting or vibration loss associated with removable haptic pads.
The ES1 Haptic and ERS3 Haptic use the same core eight-motor feedback concept, but they serve different drivers. The ERS3 is a wider reclining seat, while the ES1 uses a fixed bucket-style shell for stronger body support and more consistent positioning under heavy braking, motion, and high-force steering.
We recommend the ES1 Haptic for dedicated GT, endurance, rally, motion, and competitive simulator builds where fixed-back support matters more than reclining convenience. Its side-mount design also gives installers greater control over seat angle and height when used with compatible brackets.
Eight motors are embedded directly into the ES1 seat shell, providing balanced, low-latency feedback across multiple body-contact zones.
The motors remain fixed inside the seat instead of shifting like an external pad.
Supported effects can be distributed across different areas of the seat.
Uses Next Level Racing’s higher-torque, faster-response haptic motor platform.
On PC, the seat works with Next Level Racing HFS software and SimHub to convert supported game telemetry into detailed physical feedback.
High update speed supports detailed, low-latency effects in compatible titles.
Adjust motor strength, trigger behavior, and response by feedback zone.
Configure RPM, road texture, braking, impacts, kerbs, traction loss, and other supported effects.
Create and refine different feedback profiles for supported racing and flight titles.
Console users can connect through the 3.5 mm audio input. In this mode, incoming game audio is converted into vibration for racing, flight, VR, music, and multimedia use.
Converts sound into responsive vibration without PC telemetry software.
Can respond to racing, flight, VR, music, movies, and other audio sources.
A physical controller allows the driver to adjust overall haptic intensity without leaving the cockpit or opening software.
Increase or decrease feedback strength during a session.
Provide a quick visual reference for the selected intensity.
The ES1 uses a fixed bucket-style shell designed to maintain stable body positioning through high-force steering, heavy braking, motion effects, and competitive use.
Avoids the movement and mechanical play associated with reclining mechanisms.
Helps keep the driver centered during aggressive steering and motion.
Better suited to dedicated performance builds than casual reclining-seat layouts.
Durable racing suede helps reduce body movement while cold-molded foam provides structured support for extended sessions.
Provides grip and a performance-oriented tactile feel.
Maintains firm, shaped support through repeated and long-duration use.
The ES1 Haptic is designed for side mounting with compatible industry-standard seat brackets. Side mounting allows installers to adjust seat angle and height for the preferred driving position.
Designed to work with compatible side-mount seat brackets.
Bracket selection can provide multiple height and rake positions.
The ES1 Haptic is designed for compatible side-mount cockpit platforms.
Compatible with supported Next Level Racing Elite Series platforms using appropriate brackets.
Compatible with the GTtrack Frame Only configuration using the required mounting hardware.
Requires the F-GT seat sliders and removal of the conflicting shifter plate.
May fit compatible side-mount frames when measurements and bracket geometry align.
Fixed-back support and telemetry effects suit high-intensity racing.
The rigid shell complements advanced motion and tactile systems.
Stable seating supports high-force controls and aggressive braking.
Supports telemetry or audio-based effects across multiple simulation types.
Integrated haptics reduce loose accessories and create a polished installation.
Better suited to users who prioritize support over reclining comfort.
