FIA seat upgrade
Racecar Engineering
|July 2021
The FIA has delivered an update to the 8855-1999 seat that is used as standard in closed-cockpit racecars. The update is designed to significantly improve the safety of the device.
-
With support from D2H Advanced Technologies, the new FIA Standard 8855-2021 requires the seat to be much stronger than the original design that is now over 20 years old.
The new seat, which brings it closer to that used in Rallying and Formula 1, offers 60 per cent of the strength of the top tier seat, but at just 15 per cent of the cost, making it affordable for competitors worldwide.
