Interesting - thanks. Not seen that - though like some of the tillet stuff it looks like it doesn't have mount points for brackets meaning you need to custom fabricate your own. Not an easy job for a layman and suddenly loses its price appeal.
I like the SF1, I just wish it wasn't so wide as I'm not particularly wide and wanted something snug. It's like they assume a sim racer will require extra width

Cushions should snug you up
Apparently I'm growing my own cushions... honestly, though, unless you've got a motion rig, the side bolsters are mostly useless.

Thanks Petterio.
What is the finish at the back of the Luso seat like as it will be the first thing I see when I come in the room? I cant really tell from the low res pic above. Some GRP single skin seats can be quite rough as they assume there is often a bulkhead behind them so no need to 'make pretty'

THanks for that.It is somewhat rough, though I haven't got much to compare it to. Here's a quick picture I just got from mine:
If you go to lusomotors' fb page, they have much better pictures there including two skin versions and custom ones they've made
After seeing the pics very interested in the 2 skin version.
I've emailed them

It's very subjective, but how comfortable do you find it?

I like it a lot, it's tighter than my sparco pro2000 so it does give sort of climbing into a racecar feel
when I got mine, they didn't offer the padding yet - I did use it couple of times without anything and while perfectly comfortable, sweating did become a problem on longer stints as the seat back doesn't breath. I ended up repurposing upholstery from a children's safety seat and that has worked fine

Yeah, sometimes it took some time to get replies - and it seems they only have one person answering emails (plus running the company).

I'm also taking a look at buying a formula seat, and I just found out you can buy Luso seats here : https://www.formulasimrigs.com/home/SEATS-c59265011
It will not shorten the delay for the delivery, but at least you've got a form to customize and buy the seat.

I got a reply asking about pad and stitching colours. Then I started looking at the customisation available and went down a rabbit hole.
It’s a lot of fun, and imo surprisingly good value to have that level of personalisation available. Feels akin to buying a new Ferrari or something
Fingers crossed my preferred config will be possible - I can’t get it out of my head now
thanks again

Thought I'd just update as my late Christmas present to myself got delivered today. What a great way to end a shocker of a year.
The colour combo may not be to everyones taste - but I'm smitten. It looks even better in the flesh and very comfortable to boot.
Huge thanks to Petterio and mechsicko for bringing this previously unknown option to my attention.
I have to also mention Luso motors, and founder Ernesto have a fabulous company. The product I received was top notch, good value and given the scarcity of SIM equipment in 2020 - fast to be delivered. Ernesto was very courteous and helpful throughout the process even if the communication had a bit of delay. I understand they are very busy, and with products like this they deserve to be.
If your looking for a formula seat for you rig, look no further
Happy new year!
