“I’ve used the Tillett T11 Seats for my whole career and have never seen a reason to change to anything else. The T11 Seat protects me well but I also get feedback from the seat which to me is a very important factor in understanding how the chassis is working. Tillett has all different kinds of stiffness, so it’s easy for us to tune the feeling of the chassis depending on the track, tyres, etc. In my opinion, there is nothing else at the moment that can compete, I’ve won all my big championships in a Tillett seat, so I trust their products. I’ve also started using the new P1 Defender Rib Protector after several years of using other brands. With the new FIA Standards I can without a doubt say that the P1 Defender is the most comfortable and gives the most feedback out of those that I have ever used before!”

“Ciao everyone, I drive for BirelArt in the KZ2 category. I have used the Tillett P1 Defender throughout my career and find it really comfortable in track use, but above all it makes me feel safe. Motorsport is unpredictable, we know that! Of course, in addition to the P1 Defender, I also use a Tillett Seat. Drivers are always very stressed throughout the weekend, so it’s important to be comfortable and protected in order to perform at your best. I chose Tillett because I consider them to be the best brand for accessories, protection and racing clothing in motorsport. I have always appreciated every aspect, including their colourful adhesive sponges that do not stay wet when in contact with water, and also the comfort I find in their products. For all these reasons I would always choose Tillett for their comfort, protection, functionality and above all availability. I would highly recommend Tillett to other drivers for any occasion on the track!”

“I have been using Tillett equipment since I was a kid. Tillett worked with me on a made-to-measure Rib Protector solution, of course using the T11 VG seats that I've been using for my entire career. And then more recently, I've got the latest FIA-approved P1 Rib Protector, and it's the best Rib Protector on the market today, having tried several others. It's flexible, it adapts perfectly to the body and it protects me very well. I'm very attached to this brand, which for me represents British excellence. What's more, it's a family of enthusiasts, Steve the father and Archie and Laura the drivers, who now work in within the company and continue to develop it. It's a fine example of family success.”

“I feel very lucky to be part of the Tillett family. It is very important to me that any brand I partner with eats, sleeps and drinks racing and you could not get a truer description of what Archie and Laura bring to the Tillett brand. My bespoke Tillett P1 Rib Protector is an absolute masterpiece and Archie’s attention to detail when selecting what seat to use in my karts is something I am truly grateful for. I cannot speak highly enough of the service and product range, I would highly recommend you give Tillett a try!”

“I use a Tillett P1 Rib Protector and find it much more comfortable and ergonomic than my previous Rib Protector. Initially, I was interested because it is much prettier, comfier and efficient. I also use Tillett’s T11 VG Seats. Here it's different, it seemed essential to me to drive with them because they seemed much more efficient than my old seats. Indeed they are more efficient both on a track, but also over time, they are much more robust, both visually and in terms of performance over the long term.”
