Wheels on Carpet and Racing Games

I have a Noblechairs Epic, which I love. I use it in a carpeted room, and because of the nature of my work, I do need to be able to move it around as I switch between computers a lot.

But then, of an evening, I like to play racing games. Since I upgraded from a Logitech Driving Force GT to a Fanatec CSL Elite, I'm finding that whenever I apply enough brake pressure, the chair moves backwards. It is a Newtonian nightmare, I can tell you.

Currently I have a very Heath Robinson solution where I'm using an old box as a barrier to stop the chair moving backwards. I'm thinking of buying some sort of door stops to use as chocks under the wheels.

Have any of you experienced and/or solved an issue like this? Any recommendations?

I found a VR headset solved this for me (bear with me on this!)...

It allowed me to play racing games at a right angle to my desk, so I could wedge my seat back against the wall. :D

But those locking wheels should do the business for you, unless you get very carried away!
