The Official Seat
of IMSA Esports

When the premier sports car series in North America built its esports championship, it needed a seat that held up to real competition. The APEX XL is that seat — the same hand-built shell we make for the track, configured for the rig.

APEX XL, Starting

The Same Seat

Built for the Track.
Chosen for the Sim.

Most sim seats are furniture shaped like racing seats. Ours is the other way around — the APEX XL shell is the one we build for cars, laid up by hand in Spartanburg, South Carolina, then configured for a rig in Clinton Township, Michigan.

That matters when a race runs long. The bolster depth, the shoulder geometry, the way the shell loads across your back — all of it comes from seats that have to work under real lateral load. Sitting still in front of a triple-screen doesn't reduce what a seat has to do over a stint. It just removes the excuse.

It is the widest shell in our range, which is the other reason it ended up here: drivers other buckets leave behind actually fit in this one, without loosening the containment that keeps you planted.

The Series

Where the Standard Comes From

IMSA sanctions the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, the premier sports car racing series in North America. The esports championship carries the same name — and the same expectations.
