The Next Level Racing® ES3 Elite Sim Racing Seat — Fiberglass Edition — Black is a premium fixed-back racing seat built around a high-strength fiberglass shell, hypercar-inspired ergonomics, and precision-molded removable cushions. Designed for serious sim racers, it delivers the rigid support needed for direct-drive wheelbases, heavy load-cell pedals, motion platforms, and haptic systems while maintaining a refined, high-gloss black finish.
The ES3 Fiberglass Edition is designed for drivers who want a true fixed-back performance seat without moving all the way to the price of the full carbon-fiber model. It shares the same sculpted hypercar-inspired profile, cushion system, side bolsters, shoulder support, and included side brackets as the flagship ES3.
We recommend it for dedicated GT, endurance, sports-car, motion, and haptic simulator builds where seat rigidity matters more than reclining convenience. It is especially compelling for users running heavy load-cell pedals or high-force direct-drive systems, because the fixed shell avoids the movement commonly associated with reclining seats.
The ES3 Fiberglass Edition uses a rigid molded fiberglass shell with a premium high-gloss black finish. The fixed-back construction provides a stable foundation for demanding simulator hardware and repeated high-force use.
Eliminates recliner movement and supports consistent posture under heavy braking.
Gives the seat a refined, premium appearance suited to high-end simulator builds.
Fiberglass construction is engineered for strength, rigidity, and repeated simulator use.
Sculpted shoulder support, articulated side bolsters, and an angled lower cushion create a secure GT-style seating position intended to reduce unwanted body movement during intense sessions.
Helps stabilize the upper body while preserving a premium hypercar-inspired profile.
Support the torso without relying on an excessively narrow competition-seat shape.
Helps reduce forward movement under heavy braking and load-cell pedal pressure.
The cushion system combines high-density foam, soft-touch synthetic suede, PU-leather side panels, and integrated air channels. The cushions are removable for easier maintenance and fit refinement.
Provides shaped support intended to retain form during extended use.
Adds a premium contact surface and helps reduce sliding during aggressive driving.
Reinforce high-wear areas while maintaining a polished appearance.
Help manage heat buildup during longer racing sessions.
Custom ES3 side-mount brackets are included and provide multiple height and angle positions for refining the driving position.
Adjust seat elevation relative to the wheel, pedals, and monitor.
Fine-tune seat rake for GT, endurance, and performance-oriented driving positions.
The fixed shell is designed to remain stable under the forces generated by advanced simulator hardware.
Supports a stable seating position during high-force steering inputs.
Fixed-back construction resists movement under aggressive braking.
Suitable for advanced simulator configurations where a rigid seat base is important.
Rigid construction provides a stable foundation for pads, transducers, and integrated effects.
The ES3 Fiberglass Edition is designed to fit users up to a 36-inch waist and includes side-mount brackets for installation on compatible cockpits.
Best suited to users who fit comfortably within a performance-oriented fixed-back seat.
Designed to integrate with supported Elite Series cockpit platforms.
May fit compatible side-mount frames when bracket spacing and width are verified.
Unlike ERS3 seats, the ES3 does not recline and is less forgiving of incorrect sizing.
Fixed-back support suits sports-car, GT, touring, and endurance configurations.
The rigid shell helps maintain posture during heavy load-cell braking.
Stable seating complements high-torque wheelbases and rigid profile cockpits.
Suitable for advanced installations that benefit from a fixed seat shell.
High-gloss styling and rigid support suit customer-facing performance simulators.
Delivers the ES3 design at a substantially lower price than the carbon-fiber edition.
