Question about Oplite GTR S3 Racing Cockpit

Hello, I am very interested in this product. A max. load of 100kg was stated here. Unfortunately, I am a bit heavier and weigh 110kg. Is this 10kg still within the tolerance or will the chair and everything else collapse under this extra weight? Many thanks in advance!

I think the metal frame is not the problem. From my point of view, the plastic chair and the screws themselves are the weak point.
Perhaps a different, more stable seat could be fitted.

Hello. On this model, exceeding the weight by a few kilos won't be the main problem. Whatever your weight, you'll need to reinforce the cockpit with side reinforcements. Otherwise, the cockpit will simply deform under every load, especially under braking. Despite its attractive price, this cockpit has a number of shortcomings. For example, accessibility once the side reinforcements have been fitted. The tubes bend easily if the nuts and bolts are tightened too much. What's more, you have to ask yourself what hardware will be used on it (Fanatec, Thrustmaster, Logitech, etc.) to see if everything fits. It's not a bad product, but if you can afford it, you're better off with Next Level Racing (personally, that's what I should have chosen). It's more solid and rigid, with fine adjustments.

HI, here are the manufacturer's specifications:

The minimum height is 1.40 m and the maximum is 2.10 m with a weight of 135 kg.
So no problem with 110kg. :-)
