Product Information

Full details

This guide is for motorsport enthusiasts and professional racers seeking a high-performance, FIA-approved seat designed for optimal use with an FHR (Frontal Head Restraint) device. The key benefit is enhanced safety and reduced fatigue through its rigid fibreglass shell, shock-absorbing foam, and integrated head protection, especially during demanding racing conditions. A potential caveat is its specialized design, which may require specific mounting considerations.

FAQs

Is this seat suitable for daily driving?

No, this seat is specifically designed and FIA approved for motorsport use. It is optimized for racing harnesses and FHR devices and may not be comfortable or legal for standard road use.

What type of harnesses can be used with this seat?

This seat features harness slots that accommodate 4, 5, or 6-point racing harnesses.

How do I ensure the FHR device works properly with this seat?

The seat is designed with optimized geometry and harness guides for FHR devices. Ensure the seat is mounted correctly and at an appropriate angle as per manufacturer guidelines for both the seat and the FHR device.

What is the warranty period for this seat?

Please refer to the specific retailer or Recaro for current warranty information, as this can vary by region and purchase date.

Can I adjust the recline on this seat?

This is a fixed-back racing seat, meaning it does not have a recline function. Its fixed position is designed for maximum structural integrity and safety.

How do I clean the fibreglass shell?

The fibreglass shell can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Does this seat come with mounting hardware?

Typically, racing seats are sold separately from mounting hardware and brackets, as these are vehicle-specific. Please check the product listing or contact the seller to confirm what is included.

Troubleshooting

Seat feels unstable after installation

Re-check all mounting bolts to ensure they are securely tightened to the recommended torque specifications. Verify that the correct mounting brackets for your vehicle and seat are being used.

FHR device does not sit correctly

Ensure the seat's harness slots are being used correctly for your harness type. Adjust the seat's tilt angle if possible, following FHR device guidelines. Confirm the FHR device itself is correctly fitted and adjusted.

Fabric appears dirty or stained

Use a mild upholstery cleaner specifically designed for automotive interiors. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. Blot stains gently rather than rubbing.

Noise or squeaking from the seat

Inspect mounting points for any loose hardware. Sometimes noise can originate from the harness rubbing against the seat or chassis; check harness routing.
