Please don’t ever change your intro bud. It’s so relaxing, old school, and non intrusive. Perfect for coffee on Sunday. Like right now.

Once again, Barry, another standard-setting review. Your contribution to the sim-racing knowledge base is unequalled and it will be my pleasure to "support what you do here at the Sim Racing Garage" in the hope that you will be able to continue this terrific service. Thanks.

I have a P1 with a Sparco seat and Fanatec gear. This rig is solid and I've been able to dial in my perfect driving position. This is my forever rig, can't see ever needing anything more.

Just set up my P1 last week. You captured my thoughts almost exactly. This rig is exceptionally robust. No complains with my DD1. Great review Barry!

[sulleysaad]

Everything goes smoothly when u have the right tools for the job, other wise it’s a pain!!! Great review as always !!! 👏🏻

[twintron]

I bought the P1, very impressed. The uk sales manager johnathan (Upshift store uk) was so helpful, he even offered to call me to discuss seat sizes etc. I almost bought the monitor mount, but they pointed out that it will only support upto a 43" wide screen monitor, so I went for the SC90 stand which is a beast. Delivery was fairly quick (2 x weeks) and it was very well packed (it came on a wooden crate). My only slight issue is that the base holes doesn't quite line up with the Fanatec CSL pedal set, so I'll have to drill a couple of holes.

Thanks for another great review. Man, this thing is well-made! Incredibly neatly machined and finished. If ever I was to buy a rig, this would be it as it has so much more character than the multitude aluminum extrusion kits out there. The big downside is the weight, which is why I still love my wooden cockpit which is easy to move despite being rigid enough to handle my DD.

Really happy to see your almost at 100k subs congrats!!

This cockpit has been on my short list since it came out but have been waiting for someone undertaking a comprehensive review first.
Thanks to this detailed review, it remains firmly on my shortlist…cheers Barry 👍

Where would the sim racing community be without you and your videos!? Such thorough videos on everything!

[Bash]

Barry you're the daddy of sim race reviews.. Great channel and content!
Purchased the P1 after watching your review! Outstanding quality content in your show time after time!

[jonathankobrin]

FINALLY starting to like mine. I bought and put together two months ago but there was about a 1mm north/south movement on the right seat rail that ended up moving the seat about 1/2cm or so on the top end, because the seat acts as a lever. Rseat sent me another, ALSO had the same exact problem. I had to message them over and over, finally weeks later they sent me a solid right sided rail. Frustrating to say the least, but when the QC is on point, it's a great rig.

Was looking for a competitor to my old Playseat Sensation Pro and this video helped a ton man! Thanks!

[_JP]

Great review! Thanks for helping me decide this is the right rig for me. Awesome editing and product detail. Also, your garage/sim area is LEGIT!

[bandyleg]

I almost went and bought this rig based on your review. I think I will wait until they bring out a MK1 version though and sort out the little big fixes. Great work as always 👌👍

[aeiouxs]

Great review Barry - fascinating product. The Button Box and Keyboard elements are insanely engineered, more than your average budget work Monitor mount. I bet a ButtKicker taking its first look at this frame would call for its mother.

I'm a big fan of its contents, very complete and well explained. Congratulations!!!

[Jeff-nelh]

Love my Rseat One is all you will ever need to buy, and if you take that into account it's very affordable.

[voodoo]

I have an S-1, and love it. These newer models however seem to really be built to be rigid. My brother is considering an S-1, and I told him he really needs to give the new models a hard look first.

[kregquecksilber]

My b1 is very solid. Couldn't be happier
