After I dumped my plan on building up a rig with the GT Omega Pro Supreme as a base (no space in my room ) I want to rearrange my desk situation and I was searching for an alternative chair than my current racing armchair: Since GT Omega also sells office chairs in racing design I wonder if this would be something to look at. These are my favourites for the moment: GT Omega Evo XLGT Omega Master XLSo my question is: Is anybody using one of these chairs? If so, what are you experiencing? If not, what do you think about them? I have already watched several youtube reviews (most informative was from Barnacules Nerdgasm) and it sounded pretty convincing. But before I spend 300€ over the internet I wanted to get some more input. Hopefully you can help me a bit further, thanks in advance.

I think providing you can lock the wheels and the moving parts of the chair it should be fine. Yassine Bebbert uses a standard office chair and is faster than pretty much everyone in the Ruf C Spec so it must work reasonably well

Hi Stephan,
Look kinda similar to the playseat office chair I have. Used it a lot driving on the PS3 with GT5 and a wheel stand pro. Not too much issues. But after switching to CSP's v1 it became an issue. In order to fix issue used chain fixating WSP and chair, that helped a lot. However ... an office chair can turn around freely, and that is a real bugger to fix. My dad came up with an idea to drill a hole through base and cilinder and when driving , put a spline in so the chair would be in a fixed position. Never came sofar as in the meanwhile I changed to racing on PC

That's an interesting suggestion, Braith Morrow. Will have a closer youtube look at it. But tbh, I really need some office chair, because the desk situation atm will be gone if I can get things to work what I have in mind (corner desk + triple screen). So I am in need of a chair that I can use for office duties, maybe some gaming besides racing and of course racing itself. But Bryan "x4 contact " de Bruyn has a point there with the rotation of an office chair. Could be an issue.
