Choosing between these two bucket seats comes down to a choice between saving cash on a narrower, slightly flexible seat or spending more for rock-solid rigidity and a wider fit. While both keep you cool during long sessions, their structural execution and sizing target completely different racers.
The Fanatec ClubSport GT Cockpit Seat exhibits minor flex in its two-piece backrest under heavy load-cell braking, and its fabric is highly prone to snagging on Velcro. Additionally, larger drivers will find its narrow hip area incredibly tight and restrictive.
If you are a smaller driver on a budget, the Fanatec ClubSport GT Cockpit Seat offers a cheaper entry point despite its backrest flex and narrow hips. However, for heavy load-cell users and larger racers, the S1 Enduro GT Seat is well worth the extra investment for its superior rigidity and spacious fit.
