The Best Racing Seat is the one that Suits You

The racing car has a gorgeous painting, a sci-fi steering wheel, and a high-power engine, and all parts are scientifically assembled into an ultimate track machine. Do you think these are enough? There is also an important safety component that is easy to be ignored: racing seats.

Let's talk about racing seats today. I hope it can help you who are hesitating.

The advantages of racing seats

The original seats of ordinary street models, or the original seats of nonextreme performance models such as M2, 370Z, and Type-R, more or less take into account whether people of all shapes can sit in smoothly, the comfort after sitting in, and the fatigue after sitting in for a long time.

In many cases, this comfort is contradictory to the driver's perception of body dynamics, the driver's accuracy of operation, and the driver's safety.

The electric adjustment, heating, ventilation, and other functions in the original seats cause the seats to be very heavy. Commonly, the seats are heavier than one person. The center of gravity of the seat is relatively high.

Therefore, another advantage of racing seats is that they can greatly reduce weight. It is not only safety equipment, weight reduction equipment, but also equipment convenient for "driving comfort".

To let the driver feel the vibration and posture of the body more directly, the racing seats are relatively hard, or even completely free of soft wrapping materials.

To keep the driver's body stable in the case of large G values such as curves, there will be higher bulges on both sides of the seat. Only when the body is positive can the perceptual input of the body be accurate and the operation of hands and feet be in place.

The side of the high bulge also serves as the last layer of protection for the driver's body in the crash, to prevent the door panel and other parts from deforming and squeezing the body.

Although the original seats of some performance models take these problems into account, they are far from enough for race track driving and safety.

First of all, make it clear that the seat for racing should be a model with nonadjustable backrests. In this way, the starting strength can be guaranteed and the small mass of the seat can be kept as far as possible.

Secondly, some models of seats can be matched with slightly soft seat cushions of different sizes to adapt to drivers of different statures. This kind of cushion is optional.

In addition, when selecting racing seats for street cars, you can choose models with smaller head sides to facilitate observation of side conditions.

As long as it is a regular big brand genuine product with FIA certification, its quality difference will not be very large, so you can choose the right one to sit on.

There are still some problems to be noted when using racing seats:

• As the side of the racing seat is high, the steering wheel may affect the legs when entering and exiting the seat

Therefore, it may be necessary to replace the steering wheel with a detachable or uup turntable one. This kind of racing steering wheel has no airbag mounting position, so it is necessary to give up the front airbag. The buttons on the steering wheel are generally only suitable for connecting the horn cable, so it is necessary to give up the original multi-function buttons.

• Four or five five-point belts

The three-point seat belt can not fix the body well in the impact, so the original vehicle has the airbag. The purpose of using three-point seat belts in original cars is to compromise the convenience of use.

After using the steering wheel and canceling the airbag, the four-point or five-point seat belt has become a necessity to ensure safety. If the original steering wheel is retained, the four-point or five-point seat belt is not necessary. However, it is also recommended for safety.

• New rear seat belt anchorages may need to be found near the rear seat

In this way, the safety belt may run through the rear seat space, making it difficult to sit in the rear seat.

• After canceling the original safety belt and airbag, it may be necessary to deal with the problem

Prevent the computer from thinking that the safety belt or airbag is not in use and making unnecessary interference.

• The back of racing seats is usually made of hard carbon fiber

People sitting in the back row must use safety belts to prevent their bodies from hitting the rear of the front seats in the event of an impact.

• It is not recommended to use oversized interior space for racing seats

Only in this way can the seat play a role in fixing the body. After installing a seat suitable for your figure, there is one more thing you should pay attention to your figure to avoid the embarrassment of being unable to sit in and the discomfort of overheating your legs and abdomen in summer.

• Many racing seats can only adjust their front and rear positions through brackets and rails

If you want to adjust the height, you need to change the bracket. The angle is not adjustable. During the installation and fixation of the support, if the original support hole position is not used, some welding and hole opening treatment will be required. At this time, more attention should be paid to the construction process and anti-corrosion.
