GTR Bucket Seat for Racing Simulators
The GTR Bucket Seat is our sim racing replica motorsport racing seat - It's the perfect option for a motorsport fans who want a motorsport-derived sim racing seat, balancing comfort, excellent authentic GT racing style and is superbly well priced - the perfect combination with your R-PRO or R-MAX sim rig.
The GTR Bucket Seat comes with a set of multi-stage seat brackets (allowing you to change the recline of the seat) as well as a dual-locking seat slider for quick and easy adjustments backwards and forwards. Both of these are included in the price of the seat, which we believe makes the GTR Bucket Seat outstanding value for money compared to other seats on the market.
The GTR is a upholstered in faux suede material, with a very premium look and feel, similar to what you find in hot hatches, meaning it's the perfect for racers wanting to enhance their immersion into the virtual motorsport world. Being a bucket seat, the GTR is a fixed fibreglass shell with deep & fixed bolsters that grip you in place and enhance the authenticity of your sim racing setup, giving you the impression you're sitting in a real racing car seat! These deep bolsters are perfect for immersing yourself in sim racing, however if you are a larger build then you may find the GTR seat is too small, because there is no give in these fixed bolsters.
The rear of the seat is naked black fibreglass, with a smooth & shiny finish meaning it has a striking and purposeful appearance, adding to the overall race-car aesthetic. The front of the seat has the Upshift logo carefully and subtly embroidered.
Regarding seat sizing, the GTR is a small-medium sized seat, with deep bolsters that tightly grip the driver - consequently, there is strict maximum of 34-inch waist size limit, and for height, users up to 6 ft 4 in (198cm) height will fit comfortably.
We have also produced a sizing diagram for your convenience.
If you are 6 ft 5 in or taller, or a 35-inch waist or above, please consider an alternate seat, as bucket seats like our GTR have fixed bolsters for an authentic racing experience, but for larger individuals these bolsters will be restrictive.
The GTR attaches to the R-PRO or R-MAX sim rig by side mount seat brackets which are included in the box. These seat brackets have multiple holes, allowing you to adjust both the height of the rear/front of the seat and the inclination of the seat.
A dual-locking seat slider is included, providing you with quick and easy adjustments backwards or forwards, enabling you and anyone else who uses it to get a suitable driving position.

We recommend our GTR Bucket Seat for racers up to 6′ 4″ (1.93m) and maximum of 34 inch waist.
With respect to minimum height, racers smaller than 5ft / 152cm will likely require a booster cushion to comfortably reach the wheel and pedals. Feel free to contact us to discuss if you're looking for a seat suitable for a younger racer.
The seat features 4 holes for a harness/safety belt (sold separately), so is compatible with 4-point harnesses if you want to take your immersion one step further!
The GTR Bucket Seat is a brilliant racing-inspired bucket seat for all sim racers who want a motorsport style bucket racing seat with the HANS-style neck restraints. It's characteristic deep bolsters really add to the feel of a racing car seat, although for larger users these big bolsters are restrictive and can be uncomfortable.
Note, for users with VR, these head/neck restraints can get in the way when using VR headsets, so we instead recommend our GTS Bucket Seat for VR users.
Our GTS Bucket Seat is an ideal option for racers who want a seat that is comfortable and spacious; the GTS was designed with comfort in mind to be, first and foremost, a gaming seat. A motorsport racing seat needs to be strong to protect the driver; a gaming seat's focuses are affordability, comfort and being easy to use and ergonomic for longer gaming sessions. This is exactly what the GTS achieves.
Disclaimer: this is a gaming seat strictly for use with gaming simulators only. Not for for use in any type of real-life vehicles.
Please note - returns won't be accepted if the fitment of the seat is not suitable for you, please consult us before purchasing if you have any questions.
