GT2 FAQ’s

I am 6’ 4” tall and my son is only 4’. Will the GamePod GT2 be able to adjust to fit us both?

The GamePod GT2 is full adjustable and has been designed to accommodate both extremes so a small child of 4 foot to a large adult of 7 foot will fit!

The seat on the GamePod GT2 is fully adjustable back and forth on durable steel car runners. The pedal stopper is adjustable so the pedals can also be moved back and forth to suit different size requirements and the shelf is also fully adjustable in height.

The main seat adjustment can be made while sitting in the seat so you don’t have to keep getting out to adjust the frame. For most situations it is just a question of jumping in and pulling the seat lever and moving it to the desired location, which only takes a few seconds!

If I upgrade my wheel, will it fit on the GamePod GT2?

The GamePod GT2 has been designed with a large shelf so it can accommodate most wheels on the market. The shelf size is 450mm (17 ½ inches approx) and 200mm (8 inches approx) so these should be no problem fitting any new wheels which come along in the future!

What options is the GamePod GT2 available in?

The GamePod GT2 is available in three colours (blue, red and black) and a choice of two seats.

You have the option of the Rockingham race-bred bucket seat or the Daytona luxury reclining seat. The Daytona seat is also available in full black leather for those who want the ULTIMATE GamePod!

We also have available the Andy Priaulx and James Pickford ‘Special Edition’ GamePod GT2’s which are in the colours of their race cars.

I have heard that some after market car seats are not fire retardant. Are the GamePod seats fire retardant?

This is true. Believe it or not, most aftermarket car seats are not fire retardant! This is why we have the GamePod seat specially made in a CMHR (Combustion Modified High Resilience) foam to comply with BS4443 Furniture & Furnishings regulations.

Does the GamePod GT2 come with steering wheel and pedals?

The GamePod GT2 is sold without a steering wheel and pedals as standard as we have found that most people already have the wheel. If you don’t we sell a selection of wheels that will fit the GamePod GT2.

There are quite a few wheels on the market, but to be honest, most are rubbish (we have tested them all) so we only sell the wheels which we consider to be the best on the market.

The GamePod GT2 is also sold without wheels as the wheels we sell are supplied with a UK plug so if you buying from Europe or ROTW (Rest of the World) we recommend that you buy the wheel from your local supplier.

Is the GamePod compatible with a PC or does it only work on the PS2?

The GamePod GT2 is at the end of the day a piece of furniture and whether it will work with a certain platform (PS2, PC or Xbox etc…) depends on the wheel you use.

If you are looking to use it with PS2 games we recommend you buy a PS2 wheel. If you are looking to use it with a PC then buy a PC wheel.

The best wheel for PS2 games at the moment is the Logitech Driving Force PRO wheel and the best wheel for PC games is the Logitech MOMO wheel. Both can be purchased from our online site.

There are a few wheels on the market at the moment that boast that they will work on all platforms, but so far we have not been impressed enough to sell them on our website. You have heard of the phrase “jack of all trades and master none”.

What is the difference between dual shock and force feedback wheels?

Dual shock usually means that the wheel has two small vibrators that emulate the gaming conditions by vibrating the wheel. There are usually two levels of vibration to represent different game scenarios, such as a rough road surface or when the car crashes etc...
Force feedback is the next stage up and offers a higher level of realism and a greater driving experience than the dual shock. It does this by using a large motor in the wheel to emulate the feedback you would get through a steering wheel of a real car. For example, when travelling on icy road conditions the steering wheel would go light, or would vibrate vigorously when travelling over rough terrain.
The force feedback wheel does help to increase the realism of driving games and makes the whole driving experience much more fun!
We recommend that if you buy a wheel it is Force Feedback and NOT dual shock as all games now have been designed to work with Force Feedback wheels.

We would definitely NOT recommend buying a piece of games console furniture that came integrated with a dual shock wheel as this wheel will be inferior and there will be no way of upgrading it!

Is the GamePod GT2 delivered fully built or flat pack?

The GamePod GT2 will be delivered flat pack as this is the most cost effective way or delivering it.

It is very simple to put together and comes with the required tools such as allen keys etc…

Why does the GamePod GT2 appear to be expensive?

It is true, there are some cheaper type alternatives on the market now. But we believe the GamePod is still the best on the market and feel it is very good value for money.

We have never aimed to be the cheapest as our aim has always to be the BEST!

The GamePod has been designed by award winning British Designer Ashley Miles Dennis and has been developed in conjunction with top professional race drivers including British FIA World Touring Car Championship WORLD CHAMPION Andy Priaulx.

We believe in innovation NOT imitation and that is why the GamePod is the ‘Original’ and still the best race furniture you can get for the home.

Jason Bradbury, the presenter of the Channel 5 ‘The Gadget Show’ said that “Without doubt, the GamePod is the best wheel and seat assembly in its class” I think this says it all.

GTS FAQ’s

Are the shelves on the GTS adjustable?

Yes, both the side shelves and the centre shelf on the GTS model are fully adjustable to suit to suit different sizes and gaming requirements.

The side arms/shelves are fully adjustable and they can swing round to the front of the seat so you can get them in the exact position you want. The stem is also adjustable in height and the shelves themselves rotate making the GamePod GTS adaptable to meet any gaming requirements.

The centre arm is also fully adjustable in length and height and again the shelf itself can rotate to the required position.

Is the GTS upgradeable?

As with all GamePod GTS shelves, they are fully interchangeable and can be replaced in seconds! So if you want to upgrade or change a shelf all you have to do is swap the shelf over. It is as simple as that!!!

What options is the GamePod GTS available in?

The GamePod GTS is available in three striking colours (blue, red and black).

The legs are in silver and the shelves will be in the same colour as the seat (apart from the steering wheel shelf which is in black only).

I have heard that some after market car seat are not fire retardant. Are the GamePod seats fire retardant?

Is the GamePod compatible with a PC or does it only work on the PS2?

The GamePod GTS is at the end of the day a piece of furniture and whether it will work with a certain platform (PS2, PC or Xbox etc…) depends on the wheel or joystick you use.
