RECARO Podium CF – FIA & Road Approved Carbon Fibre Bucket Seat

The RECARO Podium CF is the lightest racing seat in the world at just 5.9kg, and uniquely offers both full FIA homologation and ABE road approval. Engineered from motorsport-grade CFRP, this seat blends day-to-day usability with uncompromising race performance – making it the ultimate choice for drivers who demand the best in comfort, safety, and control.

Why Choose the RECARO Podium CF?

Dual Road and Track Certification

  • The only carbon shell seat with both FIA and road (ABE) approval.

  • Perfect for drivers who want a seat they can use legally on the road and at full race events.

Ultra-Lightweight Performance

  • Weighs just 5.9kg including pads – the lightest bucket seat in its class.

  • CFRP (carbon fibre reinforced polymer) construction reduces weight at the highest point of the car, lowering centre of gravity.

Ergonomic & AGR-Certified

  • Awarded the AGR seal for back health, making it the first racing shell recognised for ergonomic support.

  • Compact, body-hugging design with replaceable pads for tailored fit.

Peak Support and Control

The Podium CF’s snug fit stabilises the driver during high lateral loads, with deep side bolsters and sculpted shoulder support. Drivers benefit from consistent brake feel and sharper cornering control, thanks to its low seating position and calculated ergonomics.

Replaceable Pads for Custom Fit

Available in Medium (M) or Large (L) fitments, the RECARO Podium uses modular pad sets to adapt the shell perfectly to your build. Air channels within the pads help cooling during long stints, while upholstery options (velour, Alcantara/leather combinations) allow a bespoke finish.

Comfort Meets Motorsport Engineering

  • Developed to maintain correct posture during long drives or track sessions.

  • Firm, compact upholstery combined with precise shaping relieves fatigue.

  • Compatible with HANS systems and multiple harness types (3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-point).
