The OMP RS-PT 2 is a homologated fibreglass competition seat with an integrated head restraint. Part number OMPHA0-0762-B01-071. Weight 10.4kg.
The velour seat in the OMP fibreglass range
FIA 8855-1999, side mounted. The trim is velour rather than the Airtex fabric the WRC-R, ARS-R and HTE-R use. Velour runs warmer, sits softer against racewear and is quieter. For a driver who finds Airtex rough against the suit in a long event, the velour shell is worth considering.
Integrated head restraint
The RS-PT 2 and the HTE-R are the two OMP fibreglass seats with a built-in padded head restraint. If you compete in a class that requires it, these are the seats that satisfy the requirement. The WRC-R and ARS-R do not have it.
Sizing
Suits drivers under 6ft with a 32 to 36 inch waist, the same band as the standard WRC-R. If you are at the top end of that range, tell us. The HTE-R covers a broader size band and is 1kg lighter at 9.4kg.
Construction
High-profile side bolsters. Removable back, base and leg cushions. Five harness slots, 4, 5 and 6 point. HANS compatible.
What else you need
Seat only. Side mounts sold separately. Tell us the car and seat position and we will put the fitting list together.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: OMP RS-PT 2 VS Mirco RS1. 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 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.
