The Bimarco Matrix Bucketseat FIA Approved is a seat from Bimarco. Seat choice comes down to how the car is used. A fixed-back bucket holds you best and is what competition regulations expect, but it is harder to live with on the road. A reclining sports seat gives up some support for adjustment and everyday usability.

Choosing the right seat
Seat choice comes down to how the car is used. A fixed-back bucket holds you best and is what competition regulations expect, but it is harder to live with on the road. A reclining sports seat gives up some support for adjustment and everyday usability.
A competition seat needs a vehicle-specific fitting frame, and usually side mounts as well. Check the seat width against your car’s tunnel and sill before ordering, because a wide shell in a narrow car is a common and expensive mistake.
We have been supplying motorsport kit since 2003, so if you are unsure between two options, ask.

Bimarco Matrix Bucketseat FIA Approved questions
Will the Bimarco Matrix Bucketseat FIA Approved fit my car?
The seat needs a vehicle-specific fitting frame to mount to the floor. Tell us the car and we will confirm which frame you need alongside it.
Is it FIA approved?
Check the approval listed in the specification above. FIA-approved seats carry an expiry date, so check that too if the seat is for competition.
Can I use my standard seat belt?
With a reclining seat, usually yes. With a fixed-back bucket and harness slots, a harness is the safer answer, and some competition regulations require one.
How do I know what size I need?
Measure across your hips and compare against the seat width in the specification. If you are between sizes, go up, because a seat that is too narrow gets painful quickly.
