Question about Sim Racing Rigs.

[MedievalMatt]

All - Im looking to get a sim racing rig setup in my place and id like input.  Im a larger gentleman (though i am losing weight, and therefore size) so i need a rig that accommodates a larger individual.  I plan to race nearly daily, so having to squish myself into a racing seat like a sardine is not ideal.

 

I was looking at the GT Omega Pro Racing RS9 seat:

The chair looks like it will suit me, it has a monitor stand (which is a plus, though i can possibly wallmount or jury rig something) and seem solid enough.

 

Are there any other options/better options in the $300 - 600USD range?   I plan to get a G920 wheel for now, might upgrade later but its plenty for me right now.

 

Monitor wise im going to be getting a 34inch ultra-wide, since that'll lend itself better to racing.

Only other option is Obutto ozone, while I've never used one I do have a Obutto revolution as my desk and race rig for the last 4 years and it's perfect. One thing I will say about the gt omega is that the pedals are fixed at quite a steep angle but that is the only drawback I can think of. Also it would be only just with your budget of 600USD.

That actually looks like a better alternative.  How does the seat hold up?  Im assuming theyll use similar if not identical seats on both models.

 

The hidden question there is how does it hold up to sweaty ass.

I'm pretty sure the seat is the same, I sit in mine for 4 hours a day and its held up well, couldn't ask for more really
