The Next Level Racing® Elite ES1 HYPERCOOL Ventilated Sim Racing Seat combines the proven fixed-back ES1 bucket-seat platform with an integrated dual-fan cooling system. Two centrifugal fan motors direct airflow through breathable SIMAERO Mesh fabric to help reduce heat buildup during endurance racing, training sessions, and long simulator events. A rotationally molded LLDPE shell, PU molded foam, adjustable fan-speed control, and side-mount cockpit compatibility create a premium seat for serious home and commercial rigs.
The ES1 HYPERCOOL addresses one of the most common complaints with fixed-back racing seats: heat accumulation during long sessions. The cooling system is integrated into the seat rather than added as an external cushion or fan pad.
This remains a firm, fixed-back bucket seat. Buyers who prioritize reclining comfort or easy entry over shell rigidity should compare the ERS3 HYPERCOOL.
Two centrifugal fan motors direct airflow through the seat’s breathable SIMAERO Mesh surface toward areas where heat commonly builds during long sessions.
Designed to move focused airflow through the ventilated seat surface.
Helps reduce heat buildup across key driver contact areas.
Cooling hardware is built into the seat rather than added as a loose pad.
A metal-finished potentiometer knob provides continuous fan-speed adjustment rather than limiting the user to a small number of fixed settings.
Useful for casual racing, cooler rooms, and reduced fan noise.
Useful during longer, warmer, or more physically demanding sessions.
Breathable SIMAERO Mesh works with the active airflow system while PU molded foam provides shaped support across the fixed-back seat.
Allows airflow from the integrated fan system to reach the driver.
Provides consistent support across the seat shell.
Designed to improve comfort during multi-hour simulator sessions.
The fixed-back shell is rotationally molded from linear low-density polyethylene to provide a durable and rigid simulator-seat structure.
Provides a consistent seat angle without a reclining mechanism.
Helps maintain driver position under stronger pedal inputs.
Designed for repeated simulator use in home and commercial environments.
The bucket-seat profile is designed to accommodate users up to approximately a 42-inch waist and supports up to 250 kg / 551 lb.
Ready for compatible GT-style side-mount installations.
Requires the separately sold NLR Universal Seat Brackets.
Requires Universal Seat Brackets and a compatible cockpit geometry.
The ES1 HYPERCOOL uses side mounting and is intended for NLR Elite Series cockpits and compatible third-party cockpits with suitable side-mount seat hardware.
Compatible with the correct side-mount seat brackets.
Compatible when the cockpit includes suitable side brackets.
Compatible with the required seat-bracket configuration.
May fit when width, bracket spacing, and side-mount geometry match.
Can be added with compatible side brackets and cockpit mounting hardware.
Must provide sufficient width and mounting adjustment for the shell.
Brass over-molded inserts are incorporated into the shell to support compatible tactile, harness, and slider configurations.
Supports selected tactile-transducer mounting solutions.
Provides mounting provisions for compatible simulator harness setups.
Supports compatible slider and bracket installations.
For a fixed-back bucket profile, higher published weight capacity, firm support, and stronger resistance to load-cell braking forces.
For a reclining seat, easier entry and exit, and a more conventional road-car seating experience.
Active airflow helps during long simulator sessions.
Fixed-back shell supports more consistent braking posture.
Provides active seat ventilation rather than passive mesh alone.
Supports repeated use and adjustable cooling for different drivers.
Supports multiple seating styles with the proper brackets.
Adds a visible and functional improvement over a standard bucket seat.
