More than any other seat we list, of any brand. The GT in mesh is the cheapest homologated bucket in the shop that is not a plain velour GT, it breathes, it fits most drivers, and it goes into most classes. It is the seat a first-season club racer buys, and the seat a lot of them buy again for the passenger side. Thirty-three photographs show it in every colour.
What it is not
It is not a deep seat and it has no wings beside the head. Drivers who want more hold go to the RTX-7 or the RS range; those who want head protection go to the RS2. Everyone else is fine here.
Colours
Black, or black with green, white, blue, orange or red, with over 250 options on request. Shell in black, blue, grey, orange, red, white or yellow. Name embroidery available. Colour is to order; the pair in black mesh is 638 and in black and blue 593.
Belts, FIA, fitting
Four or six point, HANS friendly; six with a head and neck restraint. FIA 8855-1999, expiry on the label. Under six feet is the shell height guide. Side mount, so side mounts and a frame for the car are separate. Tell us the car.
Will I fit in this seat?
The maker sizes this seat for drivers under 6ft in height with a 32in to 36in waist. Those are the paper numbers; how a seat actually feels to sit in and climb out of is a different question, and our showroom team sit in these seats every day, so call us with your height and waist and we will give you the honest answer.
Is it FIA approved, and for how long?
Yes, it carries FIA 8855-1999 homologation. Every FIA seat has a not-valid-after year printed on its homologation label, and that label date is what a scrutineer checks, so look at the label on the seat you receive and check it against your championship regulations. Buying new means you get the freshest label the maker currently produces.
What do I need to fit it to my car?
This is a side-mount seat: it hangs between side brackets, the motorsport-style stack with fine height and angle control. You will need the car-specific frame, and a sliding runner if you want fore-and-aft adjustment. Our guide on base mount versus side mount walks through the whole stack, and tell us your car and we will quote the full kit.
Does it work with harnesses and a HANS device?
The shell takes 4 point compatible and 6 point compatible. If you are planning the full seat, harness, and HANS setup, tell us the car and we will spec it end to end.
How do I know it will feel right, not just fit on paper?
Fair question, because makers publish widths and weights, never feel, and two seats with identical numbers can feel nothing alike in the car. We keep the ranges on display in the Nottingham showroom, you are welcome to come and sit in them, and if you cannot get to us, call and describe your build, as the team sit in these seats every day. Our head support measurements guide shows the kind of real-world data we collect.
