Need help finding a XL racing seat
07/22/10 at 17:53:24

OK so I am a BIG guy and I need a race seat. Does anyone know anything other then the evo3 for large seats. I have not sat in a evo3 yet but there seem to be SO many seats out there and SO much info I am starting to get lost in it all. The largest seat that I have found is VELO racing but they are only in AUS as far as I can tell and they are $1300 per seat+shipping. Any help would be great.

Thanks
Cory

I know he's got a 'wide' physique... "Fat Guy Racing"... Might be able to help you find a good seat. Jamie Gardhouse can probably advise too.

I picked up Sabelt RACER DUO seat this year from CSC... entry level I am sure not the most comfortable but I do fit in it with my suit on ok. Derek

I was able to sit in a variety of seats at JRP in Mississauga. Hope this helps
