what seat would you get?

[StephenB]

I am wondering what seats everyone likes and would recommend for under $1000. My wife wants me safe and gave me that as a limit!

An FIA-test and -certified one, definitely not one of those cheesy sheet-metal ones.

Go sit in a bunch, see for yourself what you like. - GA

I'd look at racetechs, Momos, OMPs, etc. The fit will be the most critical issue, so you'll have to test sit them. Mounting rules have been opened up so give that some thought as well. And finally, consider egress ease.

Any good ideas on where to try them? I wish racarama wasn't over!

I'll have a RaceTech at the NHMS National and School/Regional, and I'd bet that a whole lotta other examples will be there for the askin'...

Go look in peoples cars and ask to sit in their seats. My size requires a larger seat, and I got lucky with the Sparco Evo2 FA (fat ass). That seat is very comfortable and supportive. Now, extra safety dictates the head halo, but it can be very restrictive in entry/egress. Simply for that reason I would not buy one because I could not get out of the seat in a reasonable amount of time (and NASA thinks you should be able to get out in 10 seconds or less) Trial fit and get the one that feels the best...you should be able to fall asleep on the grid, as I do on occasion.

Sparco Pro Adv here. If that's too big, Sparco Circut Pro and if you are really thin, a Sparco Circuit.
