Racetech RT9129 Carbon Kevlar Racing Seat
from $10,799.00
Racetech RT9129 Lightweight Racing Seat
Surpassing the stringent demands of the FIA 8862-2009 Advanced Racing Seat standard, the 129 series is Racetech’s no-compromise professional motorsport seat. Adept at cradling Bathurst winners and most of the Australian V8 Supercar competition, there is none better when it comes to comfort and safety. This is our lightweight Kevlar/carbon version, one of the lightest seats in the world to achieve FIA 8862-2009 homologation! CAD models are available on request. Side (RTB1009M) and back (RTB1006B) mounting brackets are included in the purchase price.
* To comply with FIA 8862-2009, the 129 series seats must be back-mounted to the roll cage at shoulder level. Back-mounting improves seat strength and stability during an impact, increases driver 'feel' and reduces driver fatigue

The new Recaro Podium is much more than a thoroughbred CFRP shell seat. It’s a pioneering seat design for the contrasting demands of road and track. It’s not just its sleek outline, visible structures or motorsport-inspired pads in varying thicknesses that make heads turn.
The Podium stands out because of its superior quality and exceptional performance on all road types – for driving day-to-day and at the limit. The Recaro Podium is the only retrofit shell seat on the market that is approved for use on public roads (including German ABE certification) and has FIA 8855-1999 homologation1. Racing seat technology doesn’t get any better than this!
The Recaro Podium CF comes with ABE/component (German general roadworthiness approval) 3-point seatbelt certification available for many vehicles. (ABE/component certification only in conjunction with Recaro base frame and side mount.)
Don't forget about the accessories needed for your installation including Podium specific Recaro side mounts and Recaro sliders for your new Recaro Podium seats.
