SEMI-RECLIND CAR SEAT WITHOUT HEADREST, FOR PROTOTYPE RACE CARS AND SIMULATORS.

THE W5 - CAR SEAT

The W5 is a semi reclined version of the W1i shape. This is suited for low sports prototype race vehicles and race simulators.

The seat is available either with a carbon, or a black GRP front finish and both models have a smooth black rear surface. Moulded low profile seat belt harness holes are included. The W5 seat is a single composite skin and will need brackets made to fit to the various vehicles. No backframe option exists for this shape. Single skin only.

Low back W models are most suitable when a headrest is not practical, maybe for an application where there is already a headrest support in existence.

Features
1. Factors to consider

There are many factors to consider when choosing a new kart seat.
If you have had a seat in the past. Do you know the size and shape?

2. Choose a Shape

Shape does not make as much difference as the teams would have you believe, but they will be nervous of miss positioning the seat and may want you to use the shape they are used to fitting.

This is fine until the seat is not the right fit for you. An ill-fitting seat can cause a driver to damage their body or hang on the wheel, neither are good for ultimate performance.

Different shapes put in the chassis with the drivers back in exactly the same place, made with the same materials will pretty much handle the same.
That said a significant angle change of the back will alter the handling especially for bigger driver and this should be looked at separately.
