The Super Cup is the lighter, lower-bolster alternative in the MOMO FIA seat range. Buying two under part code SERSUPCUPBLKL-X2 supplies a matched pair for a full car build or a shared race car, from the same production run.
Each seat in the pair is the standard Super Cup in black: fibreglass shell, Airnet back insert, Kinder Point at the main contact points, five harness openings, HANS-compatible cut-outs, and FIA 8855-1999 approval. Where the Super Cup parts company with the Daytona is in the back height and the lateral head bolsters. The Super Cup back measures 860 mm, 10 mm shorter than the Daytona, and the head protection wings are less pronounced. For some drivers this is a positive: lower bolsters give better peripheral vision in a competition car and allow freer head movement when checking mirrors. The seat weighs 8.2 kg in standard form, which is 1.3 kg lighter than a standard Daytona.
FIA 8855-1999 approval applies to the standard size only. An XL Super Cup does not carry FIA homologation. Both seats in this listing are the standard FIA-approved specification.
Drivers over six feet should consider the Daytona family rather than the Super Cup, as the shorter back gives less spine support for longer torsos. The pair of standard Daytonas (SERDAYTONABKL-X2) is the next step up for taller or broader drivers who want the same matched-pair convenience.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Momo Start VS Momo Super Cup: Driver Seat Profile. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
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 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.
