Exceptionally strong and ultra-light HGT Carbon Seat
The OMP HGT Carbon FIA Motorsport Seat has been built with precision and attention to every detail, combining professional-grade materials with a design focused on comfort, safety, and performance. The seat features a lightweight carbon fibre shell finished in a high-quality black gel coat, giving it a premium appearance while maintaining exceptional rigidity. The inner padding is trimmed in OMP’s fire-retardant Airnet fabric, a breathable and durable material designed to keep drivers cool and comfortable during long sessions.
The seat’s shape has been carefully developed for maximum control and support. It includes aggressive wrap-around shoulder supports that keep the upper body firmly in position through fast corners and under heavy braking, while deep-sided leg bolsters provide stability and prevent unwanted movement under lateral loads. A split-leg cushion design further enhances comfort, giving additional lateral support while maintaining flexibility in the lower seating area for longer endurance stints.
Integrated head protection wings extend from the upper shell to shield the driver in the event of a side impact, offering the same safety principles found in top-level GT and endurance racing seats. The HGT Carbon also includes large harness slots that accommodate a 5-point or 6-point harness setup, ensuring proper alignment and security when paired with professional harness systems.
This thoughtful combination of ergonomic shaping, advanced materials, and safety integration ensures that drivers stay comfortable and focused, even during long, demanding events. The compact external design makes the OMP HGT Carbon a great choice for race cars with restricted cockpit space, offering a perfect balance between comfort, safety, and functionality for serious competitors.
Lightweight Carbon Fibre Construction
The OMP HGT Carbon is manufactured from 100% autoclaved carbon fibre, offering incredible rigidity while keeping weight to an absolute minimum. This advanced construction results in a shell that’s both exceptionally strong and ultra-light, improving acceleration, braking, and handling response by reducing the car’s overall mass.
Despite its lightweight design, the HGT Carbon doesn’t compromise on safety or support. The deep side bolsters and shoulder contours are carefully sculpted to hold the driver firmly in place under high lateral loads, ensuring total control even through the fastest corners. This combination of lightweight materials and structural integrity makes it a true motorsport-grade product.
Another key advantage of the carbon fibre design is its ability to maintain strength and durability under intense stress. Unlike fibreglass or composite alternatives, the HGT Carbon’s shell maintains its shape and stiffness even after repeated high-load conditions, ensuring consistent driver positioning and reliable performance. The reduced seat flex also helps improve feedback through the chassis, giving the driver a more connected feel with the car, a crucial factor in competitive racing where precision matters.
FIA Homologation and Motorsport Use
As expected from OMP’s professional range, the HGT Carbon is fully FIA 8855-1999 approved, meaning it meets the strict safety standards required for competitive use worldwide. This certification ensures it’s suitable for all forms of circuit, rally, and endurance racing.
The seat is designed for use with 6-point harnesses and features integrated harness slots for both shoulder and crotch belts. It also includes head protection extensions for additional safety during high-speed impacts, a design detail carried over from OMP’s top-tier GT racing seats.
Design, Comfort, and Fitment
The OMP HGT Carbon has been developed with driver comfort and ergonomics in mind. The seat’s shape promotes proper posture and reduced fatigue during long stints behind the wheel, making it just as suitable for endurance events as it is for sprint racing.
Its size and dimensions make it a strong fit for medium to larger drivers, providing generous space at the shoulders and hips while maintaining a snug and supportive feel. The seat’s black gel-coat carbon finish gives it a professional motorsport look, and its precision detailing underlines the craftsmanship behind OMP’s premium seat range.
Installation and Compatibility
Like all fixed-back bucket seats, the OMP HGT Carbon requires side mounts for installation. We recommend pairing it with OMP’s lightweight aluminium or steel side mounts for a perfect fit. The seat uses the standard 345mm bolt pattern, ensuring compatibility with most aftermarket sub-frames and universal side mount kits available from us.
Whether you’re installing it into a dedicated race chassis, GT car, or custom motorsport build, we can supply everything you need, from side mounts and sliding runners to vehicle-specific sub-frames, for a complete and professional setup.
In Summary – The Ultimate Lightweight Motorsport Seat
The OMP HGT Carbon FIA Motorsport Seat is the ultimate expression of performance engineering. With its carbon fibre construction, FIA approval, and driver-focused design, it delivers everything you’d expect from a world-class racing seat. It’s designed for those who take motorsport seriously, where every detail matters, from weight savings to safety and control.
