Trophy

Their Playseat Trophy with a Logitech G Pro is incredibly comfortable and never budges, though adjustability could be easier.

Returned a Playseat Challenge over frame flex and got the Trophy, which is solid and feels more premium and immersive.

After upgrading to the Playseat Trophy they quickly realised they needed better pedals and more torque.

Reviewed the Trophy after replacing a Challenge and first called it sturdy, but later said they couldn't recommend it or Playseat's support; the fabric ripped and the pedal plate flexed with load cell pedals, so they returned it for a profile rig.

Runs the Trophy with a Simucube 2 Pro at 25 Nm and Heusinkveld Sprint pedals and finds it absolutely rock solid, with no noticeable flex at the wheel or pedal deck.

Chose the Trophy because it suits their limited space, splits in two for storage, and is comfortable and solid, so it's worth every penny despite the high price.

Has owned the Trophy for a few days and finds it minimalist, lightweight, sturdy and good looking, and worth the cost though not perfect.

New Trophy owner who loves the rig and says it's been nothing short of perfect, though they worry about the seat's seams and Velcro.

Unhappy with their Trophy: the pedal plate lacks holes for all six bolts of the G923 pedals, and the right bolt length isn't documented.

Still gets lumbar ache after 30 minutes in their Trophy even after adjusting the seat tilt and strap.

Gets less back pain in the Trophy than driving a regular car for long periods.

Uses their Trophy at 15 Nm and calls it rock solid, saying most complaints come from assembling it wrong.

Has the standard Trophy and is comfortable with its setup, tightening the knobs after they once came loose.

Loves the original black Playseat Trophy with a Fanatec GT DD Pro 8 Nm.

Owned a Trophy and loved it: it comes with a seat, with good rigidity, compatibility, adjustability and portability for its price.

Bought the Trophy a couple of years ago for over $600 because it handles a DD and is easy to pull out of a guest room.

Upgraded to the Trophy from a wheel stand and found it a big improvement: very sturdy and comfy, light and adjustable to one driver, but pricey and tool-dependent for changing drivers.

Used the Trophy for months, even as the base of a motion rig driven by an 8 Nm CSL DD Pro, and calls it absolutely rigid.

Just got the Trophy as a birthday present: straightforward to build, remarkably sturdy, quite comfy, and movable, and well worth $599 for them.

Is now sold on the Trophy with Logitech Pro wheel and pedals as a mid-tier rig, with unbeatable quality for the price and holes that line up.

Finds the Trophy pretty much perfect for G29, though they had to adjust their seating a lot moving to a CSL DD.

Mounted bass shaker and pedal hardware on their Trophy, then sold it and moved to a Sim-Lab GT1 Evo.

Owns the Trophy but can't sit on it without a lumbar pillow behind their back.

Had a Trophy for a while and couldn't stand it; it legit slowed them down, and they switched to a Playseat bracket rig that handles a 12 Nm Simagic.

Says they saved money buying the Trophy compared to a full 80/20 rig with a seat.

Has had a Trophy for over a year with no back pain, only some strain after about a six-hour session.

Bought a used Trophy, had full pain during 4 hours of use and sold it, calling the seat bad.

Returned the Trophy for a Sim-Lab GT1 Evo because it left them sore for weeks, calling it awful.

Absolutely loves the Trophy: sturdy enough to carry a monitor stand on the wheel deck with an R9 and CRP pedals, and light enough to move with one hand.

Bought the Trophy for its footprint and light weight while still being rock solid, over a GT Omega Prime Lite, since nothing else fits its niche.

Tried both the Playseat Trophy and the cheaper TK rig; the Trophy had better build quality, with the TK's paint peeling during assembly and more flex with a 10 Nm base.

Says the Trophy makes their butt hurt within minutes, which they never had in the Challenge, so they'd pick a Trak Racer TRX.

In their experience the Trophy is completely rigid, unlike a Challenge with a DD wheel, though expanding it later is hard.

Had the Trophy for a while but couldn't set it right for their back after two to three hours of racing, so they upgraded; it wasn't wobbly at all.

Says the Trophy feels like one solid piece, but the torx screws for extending it strip easily, which they had to fight to change under warranty.

Picked up a Trophy for $300 on OfferUp after a Wheel Stand 2.0 and set it up with a GT DD Pro and bass shakers for GT7 on PSVR2.

Less than a month in, their Trophy's seat seam is splitting where you sit and Playseat customer service ghosted them; they also find the wheel plate sits high.

Upgraded from a desk-mounted T300 to a Trophy with a VRS base up to 20 Nm and loves it: very solid with only a tiny bit of vertical flex, though the wheel sits slightly high.

Says the Trophy flexes, thanks to its fabric seat, so they cap their brake at about 50 kg.

Their Trophy's seat tore soon after buying it for PSVR2 GT7; Playseat sent a replacement after many emails, and they still worry about it tearing.

Had a Trophy until upgrading to 80/20 and calls it a great stylish, lightweight and rigid rig.

Uses Logitech Pro pedals on the Trophy with the pedal plate on top of the Trophy's base and sees little if any flex.

Raised the back of their Playseat Trophy and now wants a bucket seat in it for comfort.

Swapping to stiff Simsonn pedals without the baseplate made the Trophy's pedal baseplate flex even with the softest elastomers.

Went from a full profile rig to the Trophy for space reasons and finds it sturdy with no felt flex; the pedal tray visibly flexes under braking with stiff elastomers, but too little to feel.

Huge fan of the Trophy: it looks nice and is easy to move and mod, with an 8 Nm Fanatec DD and no noticeable flex.

Bought the Trophy a year ago, slightly overpaid but has no regrets with a CSL DD and Fanatec V3 pedals, and finds it easy to move around.

Finds the Trophy ideal for a smaller setup and extremely comfortable, though less flexible than extrusion; fiber grip paste stopped it extending under braking.

Happy with the Trophy and a Fanatec DD1 with V3 pedals: it all feels solid with a minimal footprint, but it lacks fast adjustability.

Used an Embody chair with GT7 and a G29 for a couple of weeks, then upgraded to the Trophy, which they say is 100 times better.

Can sit in their Trophy for hours and even uses it for work meetings.

The Trophy was awesome with their T300RS, but fitting a T598 needed flipping the wheel plate and hacksawing its plate, cost legroom and made them hate it.

Calls the Trophy sleek and shockingly rigid, comfortably fitting their 6'11" frame, though adjusting length and seat angle isn't easy.

Sits in their Trophy with slightly bent knees and says it adjusts to length with multiple holes and pedal positions.

After over a year with the Trophy they find it pretty good but adjustment could be better, and the wheel deck can't be lowered, so the wheel sits a bit high.

The Trophy is comfortable and sturdy with load cell pedals and easy to slide up to a desk, but they wish they'd bought a profile rig instead.

Has had the Trophy for two years with a full Simagic setup and zero flex, finds it totally solid and comfortable with a lumbar pillow.

The Trophy runs well with no flex, though pedals fit tightly in the tray, and its lounge-chair seat is insanely comfortable for long races.

Finished a Trophy rig with a Simagic Alpha, GT Neo wheel and P1000 pedals, and is pleasantly surprised by how rigid it is, and comfortable in 2+ hour sessions.

Moved from the Trophy to an aluminium rig; a Buttkicker on its tubular frame worked fine.

Was gifted a Playseat Trophy and set it up in a home office with a new G29.

Has been very happy with their Playseat Trophy for many years.

Their Trophy handles a load-cell brake and a 15 Nm DD+ without issues, unlike their old Challenge, and slides easily on furniture pucks.

Their Playseat Trophy, now with Simnet pedals, VR and 11 haptic motors on a platform, is a super happy setup they consider finished.

Had the Playseat Trophy but their back couldn't handle it.

Returned their Playseat Trophy: uncomfortable, and the lack of wheel-position adjustment was a dealbreaker.

Their Trophy's ActiFit material is pretty comfortable, a night-and-day step up from the Playseat Challenge.

Just bought the Trophy and, even with a G920, finds it sturdy.

Having owned a GT-Lite, a Trophy and a Sim-Lab profile rig, they see the Trophy as the perfect light, portable middle ground.

The Trophy is awesome for what it is, but every feature they wanted to add (shifter, handbrake, bass shakers) was hard to mount.

Got the Trophy after a Playseat Evolution because they need to move it around; it's not bad and solid enough for DD.

Loves their Trophy and, after trying conventional rigs, much prefers it.

Loves their Trophy in a corner for VR and would upgrade base, wheel and pedals before the rig.

Their Playseat Trophy is phenomenal and sturdy; DD feedback subtly vibrates the whole seat for immersion.

Says the Trophy is the best Playseat; they tested it handling 25 Nm bases and the brake holds without much movement.

Uses a Trophy with a Moza R12 and CRP pedals; it's light enough to move with their sit-stand desk setup.

Got their Trophy plus Logitech Pro gear for £690; at full price they'd buy an 8020 rig instead.

Loves their grey Logitech edition Trophy: super comfortable, though tedious to adjust for other people.

Loves their Trophy and is comfy, but the pedal plate flexes until braced and the wheel sits high.

On their second Trophy seat in a year because it keeps ripping; selling it.

After a year their Trophy is OK but the tubes slide out under hard braking and the wheel sits too low.

Their Trophy suited a portable VR setup, but with a permanent triple setup they somewhat regret it.

Had the Trophy for 2 years: sturdy but less adjustable, and the formula-style position can hurt your back.

Loves their Trophy: great looking, super comfortable and solid with a Logitech DD wheel and shifter mount.

After trying every type of rig from foldable to aluminium they landed on the Trophy, which is perfect for them.

Loved their Trophy and kept it too long, but it couldn't hold everything they wanted to add.

Their Trophy's pedal tray flexed; the TR8 they moved to is much more rigid.

Their Trophy's seat tore, but Playseat support took great care of them despite slow replies.

Had a Trophy and finds the bucket seat on their extrusion rig much more comfortable.

Their Trophy works very well with two ButtKickers, an HF8 and a stiff enough frame for the Logitech Pro.

Upgraded their Trophy into a motion system; it's really solid, not creaky.

Their Trophy's pedals are fine but the seat creaks like a folding lawn chair.

Zero flex on their Trophy with a 100 kg load cell.

Likes their Trophy for wheel and pedals, but the pedal tray flexes and expanding with shifters was severely limiting.

Their Trophy is really comfy and adjustable with a 15 Nm wheel mounted, no issues.

Uses the Trophy with a load-cell brake and 8 Nm wheel, storing it vertically; works very well.

Their Trophy with a 15 Nm base and ClubSport load cells is much sturdier than their old Playseat GT and feels premium.

About a year on their Trophy with an 18 Nm base: rock solid, never an issue.

Two years with the Trophy and a G Pro: no issues apart from some fabric fraying.

Loves their Trophy, rock solid.

Got rid of their Trophy: limited expansion and the fabric tore in several places after a load-cell brake.

Three years of regular use with a load-cell brake on their Trophy without the problems others report.

Has a Trophy with absolutely no complaints.

Had a Trophy before a GT Elite deal and says the rig isn't worth upgrading to for performance.

Their Trophy's hammock seat has a bit too much movement for their liking.

Their Trophy didn't budge with a 25 Nm Podium DD; lap times are the same on their TR8 now.

Their Trophy is a pretty solid movable rig.

Loves their Trophy, but with an 18 Nm base and better pedals the frame flexed under braking until they braced it.

Their new Trophy is sturdier than the Challenge but gave them foot, hamstring and shoulder pain.

Really likes their Trophy, but shorter friends can't reach the pedals without slow adjustments.

Kept their Trophy because it is very compact yet fairly rigid, even with a Simucube 3 Pro in VR.

The side bars connecting their Trophy seat to the frame bent.

Their Trophy's parts were a struggle to fit and one length-adjustment screw thread was stripped.

Owned a Trophy: the best portable rig at about 40 lb, but a waste of money for a permanent spot.

Their Trophy handles a Moza R9 and load-cell pedals fine, though the wheel mount part rotates.

Their Playseat Trophy has treated them well so far.

Likes their Playseat Trophy, which is sturdier than the GTRacer, though they'd pick aluminium with more space.

Chose the Playseat Trophy and found it really nice and comfortable before selling it for financial reasons.

Loves their Playseat Trophy with a Logitech PRO wheel once adjusted; wheel, pedal and length adjustments are easy, though the lumbar strap is useless.

Runs a Moza R12 and pedals on a Playseat Trophy as a third rig and can't fault it.

Has the Playseat Trophy with a load cell brake and T300 and finds it surprisingly solid, and easy to slide into a corner when not in use.

Loves their Playseat Trophy: comfortable for hours and rigid enough for max torque and braking; just snug up the screws after the first hour.

On their Playseat Trophy the wheel lifts 5–10 cm under braking and the pedal plate moves around.

Finds their Playseat Trophy very rigid with a MOZA R9, despite mixed reviews.

Has had a Playseat Trophy for nearly three years and finds it brilliant: very comfortable, adjustable for tall people and easy to move.

Their Playseat Trophy was an absolute legend that did everything it was designed to do; they only moved to an aluminium profile rig for monitor mounts, a profile pedal deck and seat sliders.

Really enjoyed their Playseat Trophy: for sitting in front of the TV and moving it away afterwards it is a 10/10, and solid unlike wheel stands, though simplicity is also its limit.

Chose the Playseat Trophy because it moves easily between school, home and internships; at 6 ft and 170 lb they find it pretty sturdy and comfortable for long sessions.

Also has a Playseat Trophy and loves it.

Finds the Playseat Trophy very comfortable and can sit in it for 3–4 hours without issues, helped by head/neck and lumbar cushions.

Their Playseat Trophy has been super solid running a wheelbase at about 12 Nm.

Their Playseat Trophy served them well with no complaints before they moved to a profile rig.

Their used Playseat Trophy is solid enough for a Logitech G PRO wheel; with the monitor on the wheel deck it vibrates a bit when hands are off the wheel under load.

Runs a Fanatec DD+, a sub and bass shakers on their Playseat Trophy with simple 3D-printed risers and gets no movement or vibration.

Used a Playseat Trophy for two years before moving to an aluminium rig for modularity; it handled a 12 Nm base and Sim-Lab XP1 pedals without problems.

Recently bought a Playseat Trophy second-hand for €220 in excellent condition and finds it totally worth the money.

Their Playseat Trophy was fine with a Fanatec GT DD Pro but wasn't strong enough once they upgraded to a DD+, so they moved to a GT Omega PRIME.

Used a Playseat Trophy and really loved it for what it was while short of space: great all round and cool looking, though a profile rig plus seat costs about the same.

Wanted something solid, good-looking and easy to move, and finds the Playseat Trophy perfect for that; runs VR with the cables routed through the tubes for a clean setup.

Their son has the Logitech edition Playseat setup and they think it's a really good buy: solid enough to feel sturdy yet easy to shift around.

Loved their Playseat Trophy for about four or five years and its tubular look, though an aluminium profile rig is far more solid with no flex.

Used to use a Playseat Trophy but wouldn't recommend it; now prefers a solid rig on caster wheels for a tight space.

Regrets upgrading from a folding Playseat to the Trophy, finding its ergonomics worse.

Moved to the Trophy after a folding Playseat Challenge got wobbly with a stronger Logitech wheel. Finds it perfect: it doesn't fold, but slides easily on carpet so it could be moved around before it got a permanent spot.

“I upgraded to a logitech trophy which is perfect for me. It doesn't fold but it slides easy on my carpet, so i was able to move it around.”

Bought a Playseat Trophy and has no regrets despite Playseat's reputation for being overpriced. Calls it a solid rig that also looks good enough to keep in the living room.

Uses a Playseat Trophy and is very happy with it. Finds the seating position good and comfortable and the rig sturdy enough for a direct drive base, though getting the position right takes some time.

Had a Playseat Trophy shared with several kids; they could reach the wheel with a booster seat but never the pedals without unscrewing things, and their own driving position kept getting lost, so they moved to something more adjustable.

Has a Playseat Trophy and likes it: comfortable, and it doesn't move at all with their 9 Nm base, though it has no monitor mounting.

Had a Playseat Trophy and hated it; at 184 cm they had to use the Small setting with the pedal box near its farthest position to get comfortable.

Spent a lot of time making their Trophy comfortable; a lumbar pillow helped a lot, but the Playseat allows almost no fine tuning beyond wheel tilt.
