Product Information

Full details

The Recaro Pole Position N.G (FIA) is a professional-grade competition seat tailored for taller and heavier drivers who require a robust, supportive racing environment. By combining an ergonomic GFRP shell with FIA 8855-1999 safety certification, it delivers exceptional lateral stability during high-G maneuvers; however, potential buyers should be aware that the seat requires separate side mounts for installation and the fixed shell design is not suitable for daily street driving comfort.

FAQs

Is this seat road legal?

While the seat is FIA-approved for racing, you should check your local automotive regulations as some regions require seats to have adjustable backrests for road-going vehicles.

Does this seat include rails or mounts?

No, the Recaro Pole Position N.G (FIA) does not include side mounts, sliders, or floor adapters. These must be purchased separately based on your vehicle model.

Can I use my factory 3-point seatbelt?

The seat is designed for competition harnesses. Using a factory 3-point belt can be difficult due to the seat's geometry and is generally not recommended for this product.

What is the weight of the seat?

The seat features a GFRP shell, which is designed to be lightweight while maintaining high structural rigidity for safety.

How do I know if I will fit comfortably?

The N.G (New Generation) model is specifically designed for a larger, taller frame than standard bucket seats, but we recommend measuring your hip width and torso height against the seat dimensions.

Are replacement cushions available?

Yes, Recaro offers replacement cushions and upholstery parts. Contact an authorized Recaro dealer to order components specific to the Pole Position N.G.

Troubleshooting

Seat feels loose after installation

Check that all side mount bolts are tightened to the correct torque specifications and ensure the floor brackets are securely fastened to the chassis.

Harness feels uncomfortable against shoulders

Verify that your harness mounting points on the roll cage or floor are aligned with the harness slots in the seat to ensure proper angle and fit.

Difficulty entering the vehicle

Due to the high side bolsters, this is common with bucket seats; consider a quick-release steering wheel hub to provide more clearance.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable GFRP construction offers high structural rigidity

  • Side mounts are sold separately
  • Fixed back design limits cabin entry and exit ease
  • Not intended for use with factory three-point seatbelts
  • Less cushioning than factory road seats

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Recaro Pole Position N.G (FIA) requires specific side mounts that attach to the seat's side-mounted hardware points. Always ensure the seat is bolted to a competition-grade floor bracket or a vehicle-specific adapter kit that is rated for racing safety. Before bolting the seat down, confirm that the harness slots are correctly aligned with your torso height to prevent improper harness geometry. For maintenance, keep the upholstery clean by vacuuming regularly to remove debris. If the fabric becomes soiled, use a mild upholstery cleaner, but avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the flame-retardant coating. Periodically inspect the shell for any signs of stress or cracking, and ensure all mounting bolts remain torqued to manufacturer specifications.
