what fits.

Before you pick a seat
Road, track or motorsport?
How you use the car decides the seat and how it mounts, so start there rather than with the brand. The guide for your car covers the details.
Road
Reclining sports seats are base mounted, so they bolt straight onto sliders and the fitting kit for your car. More support than standard seats and still comfortable for daily use.
Reclining sports seats ›
Track days
Fixed bucket seats are side mounted, so you add a pair of side mounts and the fitting frame for your car. Harness ready, and fine to drive home in.
Bucket seats ›
Motorsport
FIA approved competition seats, side mounted to the fitting kit, or straight onto weld-in bars where the regulations call for it. Check the approval date against your championship before anything else.

Beyond the car guides
The questions that come up every week
Sim racing bucket seat guideChoosing a bucket seat for a sim rig rather than a car. Covers the shells that suit a static frame and the mounting hardware that goes with them.
Steel frame FIA seat guideThe steel shell FIA seats explained, including the OMP range that takes base mount or side mount. Where a steel seat makes sense and what it opens up.
Roll cage availability and production timesRoll cages are made to order and lead times move with production runs. What to expect between ordering and delivery, before you commit.
OMP bracket compatibilityWhich side mounts and brackets pair with which OMP shells. Match them before ordering and the seat goes in first time.
Cobra bracket compatibilityCobra shells matched to their brackets and runners. Find the seat, read across, and order the right hardware in one go.
Corbeau bracket compatibilityCorbeau shells and the mounting hardware each one takes. Covers brackets, runners and what fits together across the range.
Sparco bracket compatibilitySparco shells matched to the right brackets and sliders. Read across from your seat to the hardware that fits it.

Know the brand before the seat
Thirty brand guides written from our own stock and sales data. These five are where most people start.
Cobra
Making seats in East Sussex since 1975. The Nogaro is the one people keep coming back for.
Cobra guide ›
Corbeau
The first motorsport seat manufacturer in the world, founded 1963 and still made in East Sussex. XL means a wider shell, 36 to 40 waist.
Corbeau guide ›
Recaro
There are two Pole Positions. ABE is the road legal one, FIA is for competition, and they cost near enough the same money.
Recaro guide ›
OMP
The steel shells fit base mount or side mount, which gets awkward cars out of trouble. Fibreglass is side mount only.
OMP guide ›
Sparco
The Evo L is longer than the Evo with the same shoulder width, so going up a size buys depth rather than shoulder room.
Sparco guide ›Unit 5 and 6, High Hazles Road, Nottingham NG12 3GZ

You can see who you are buying from
We started filming product reviews in 2014 because nobody else in the market was doing it. The BBC came to us when they needed somebody who could tell a counterfeit harness from a real one.
