About

The Next Level Racing® ES1 Haptic Seat combines the acclaimed ES1 bucket-style design with the proven haptic technology of the HF8 Pro, delivering a fully integrated seat built for high-performance simulation.

Featuring the same eight high-torque haptic motors found in the HF8 Pro — delivering 200% more torque, 400% more power, and 60% faster motor speed — the ES1 Haptic provides detailed, real-time feedback that transforms every gear shift, curb strike, and surface change into true-to-life sensation.

“The next level of realism the Haptic Seats gives you is amazing. I particularly love the feelings through the gear shifts, ripple-strips and loss of traction. Makes it much easier to judge.”
— Alex Gardner, Professional Race Car Driver

Each motor is embedded directly into the seat shell, ensuring balanced, low-latency feedback without vibration loss, while the durable racing suede fabric and cold-moulded foam offer long-lasting comfort and stability during endurance sessions.

Integrated Power and Comfort

Unlike traditional haptic pads, the ES1 Haptic integrates its eight high-torque motors directly into the bucket seat shell, delivering precise, low-latency feedback that follows every movement of the vehicle.

This fully embedded design eliminates shifting or vibration loss, ensuring that every sensation — from tyre slip to kerb strike — is felt exactly where it happens.

The durable racing suede fabric provides superior grip and comfort, while cold-moulded foam maintains firm support through long sessions. Designed for maximum body stability and endurance, the ES1 Haptic gives drivers the confidence and connection needed for competitive simulation.

Customised Haptic Control

With full support for Next Level Racing® HFS Software and SimHub integration, users can fine-tune all eight feedback zones for total control over their racing experience.

Adjust motor strength, response, and trigger behaviour to replicate effects such as engine RPM, road texture, braking, and collisions. The HFS software runs at 75 frames per second, providing ultra-low latency and highly accurate feedback.

A built-in physical controller allows quick intensity adjustments. For console* use, the 3.5 mm audio input converts in-game audio into dynamic vibration feedback for racing, flight, or multimedia experiences.

*Note: When using on console, haptic feedback is generated through audio-based vibration only. Individual motor control and telemetry-based effects are only available on PC via HFS Software or SimHub.

Built to Integrate and Perform

The ES1 Haptic is designed for seamless integration with a wide range of professional simulator setups. Its side-mount compatibility allows precise positioning and angle adjustment with most industry-standard seat brackets.

The haptic system complements existing motion and tactile solutions, creating a unified feedback ecosystem for serious racers. With its rigid shell, ergonomic shape, and high-performance haptic technology, the ES1 Haptic delivers unmatched control, comfort, and immersion.
