I am looking for comfortable chair for long time gaming
I have to choose between GT Omega, Ak Racing and DX Racing
Any advice guys?
 
I don't think any of the racing style chairs are suitable for sitting at a desk at all, let alone for a long period of time. They are used in performance cars for a specific reason, to stop your body shifting around as you fly around a track. In my opinion a "normal" desk chair is far superior to any chair built to imitate race seats, I don't know about everyone else but I don't experience much lateral movement when I sit at my computer :p
 
I'd never recommend a "racing" styled seat unless I really didn't like you.

They're just a product to appeal to the "gamers" because it has the word "gaming" in it, granted they are somewhat comfy (which they should be for £200+) but they're no better than a regular chair, as Zefan said, they're made for high performance cars, not to sit at a desk comfortably.

I wait the Razer Racing Gamer Ultimate Chair @ £499.00 one day... do a search for desk chair and you'll see many recommendations on here.
 
Is the OP planning on using it just for racing games? In which case yeah a good racing 'seat' is amazing. I have one, though admittedly don't race with it often (once the missus dismantles it it takes some convincing to get it back out again).......but for regular use and gaming, I don't think you can beat a good quality traditional leather chair with plenty padding round the butt :)
 
I have just bought this today....

a pain to put together but OMG i could sleep in it, it's really comfy
 
For that kind of price, a secondhand Steelcase Leap or Herman Miller Mirra is surely a better option. They are designed for extended periods of sitting.

It might not look racy, but it's going to be better for your body in the long run.

Definitely this. For long periods of time spent at the computer, you want an ergonomic chair that's going to support you.

The hard bit is picking one. Trying to find a sensible seat.

Im hoping its going to be fairly easy to attach, bit of wood on the bottom bolted to frame and attach it to the subframe of the seat. Just need to make sure it balances
