Recaro Pole Position FIA Bucket Seat

Product Description

The RECARO Pole Position N.G. FIA Racing Seat is an updated fixed-back motorsport seat designed for drivers competing in GT, touring, club motorsport and track day environments. Built for both beginner and professional drivers, it combines strong support, safety-focused construction and proven RECARO ergonomics for high-performance driving.

The seat is constructed from glass fibre reinforced plastic (GRP), giving it a durable and lightweight shell with an approximate weight of 7.7kg. Its supportive racing shell design helps hold the driver securely in position during high-load cornering, braking and acceleration, improving control and confidence on circuit.

Please note, FIA approval is only valid when the seat is used with the specified RECARO side mount. The seat is compatible with 4-point, 5-point and 6-point harnesses, depending on the installation setup.

Designed with comfort and personalisation in mind, the seat features flame-retardant upholstery, replaceable cushions, lumbar support and removable back and backrest cushions. Trim options include Perlon Black Velour and Perlon Red Velour, allowing the seat to be matched to the vehicle’s interior or motorsport build.

This listing is for one RECARO Pole Position N.G. FIA racing seat. Side mounts, slide rails and vehicle-specific fitting hardware are required separately unless otherwise selected.
