Next Level Racing Elite ES1 Hypercool Ventilated Sim Racing Seat

Race longer. Stay cooler. Introducing the Next Level Racing Elite ES1 Hypercool Ventilated Sim Racing Seat.

The evolution of the proven ES1 Seat, trusted by thousands of sim racers worldwide for comfort and race seat ergonomics - now enhanced with an integrated dual fan cooling system engineered for serious sim racing.

Built for endurance, the ES1 Hypercool combines trusted strength and ergonomics with active cooling technology designed using fluid-mechanics airflow principles - delivering a new level of sustained performance and comfort. Two centrifugal fan motors push ventilated air through SIMAERO Mesh breathable fabric, targeting key heat zones where it matters most. This is not a retrofitted solution - it’s precision thermal management, integrated into a rotationally moulded LLDPE shell built for load cell braking, a 250 kg (551 lbs) capacity, and long-term durability.

• ACTIVE COOLING. ENGINEERED IN
  Two integrated centrifugal fan motors - chosen for their airflow efficiency over conventional axial fans - use fluid-mechanics principles to direct a consistent, high-speed stream of air through SIMAERO Mesh fabric, actively cooling the driver where temperature build-up is most pronounced.
  
  Range of fan speed adjustment via a premium metal-finished potentiometer knob gives drivers complete, real-time control without breaking concentration.
  
  
• PURPOSE-BUILT. NOT REPURPOSED
  The ES1 Hypercool is not a gaming chair with ventilation holes cut in. It is a purpose-engineered sim racing seat built for the demands of cockpit-based simulation. The rotationally moulded LLDPE shell delivers the structural rigidity required for precision load cell inputs and aggressive braking forces - without the flex of generic seating solutions. PU moulded foam and SIMAERO Mesh fabric provide a premium surface that actively breathes with the integrated fan system.
  
  Premium brass over-moulded inserts can support Buttkicker, seat belt, and seat slider setups. Up to 42″ waist and 250 kg (551 lbs) supported. The ES1 Hypercool is engineered for sim racers.
  
  
• FORMULA & GT READY
  The ES1 Hypercool doesn’t box you in. GT seating works out of the box - install it, adjust it, race it. Add Next Level Racing Universal Seat Brackets (sold separately) and unlock Hybrid and Formula positions for any open-wheel build.
  
  With wide range of configurations, the ES1 Hypercool integrates across the full Next Level Racing Elite Cockpit range with side seat brackets, and most third-party cockpits* on the market. Whether you’re building your first serious rig or upgrading an existing setup - it fits, performs, and endures. (*Please ensure you check the measurement of your cockpit for compatibility)
