In Stock – Ships Immediately
The OMP RT Racing Seat delivers a rare combination of true motorsport performance and real-world usability. Designed for drivers who demand FIA-certified protection without sacrificing comfort, the RT is equally at home on track days, time attack builds, and dual-purpose street cars.
Unlike traditional high-bolster race shells, the OMP RT features a more accessible profile inspired by OEM performance bucket seats like Porsche’s lightweight buckets—making entry and exit easier while still providing excellent lateral support under load.

Performance + Comfort Without Compromise
The OMP RT is engineered to bridge the gap between hardcore racing seats and street-friendly comfort. Deep side bolsters and wrap-around shoulder supports keep you planted during high-G cornering, while the removable padding system absorbs vibration and enhances long-session comfort.
Available in both lightweight fiberglass and premium carbon fiber, the RT delivers exceptional strength-to-weight performance while maintaining the durability required for repeated track use.
Important Safety Note
As with all fixed-back racing seats, the OMP RT should only be installed in vehicles equipped with a roll bar, half cage, or full cage. Unlike OEM reclining seats, fixed-back shells do not collapse in a rollover event.
Why Choose the OMP RT Seat?
If you're building a serious track car but still want livability for street driving, the OMP RT is one of the most versatile FIA-certified seats available. It offers the safety, fitment flexibility, and ergonomic design needed for modern performance builds—without the compromises of ultra-aggressive race shells.
