TO WINNING

The RECARO Pro Racer – our premium product for GT and touring cars built to the FIA 8855-1999 standard – was developed for HANS driver safety systems and comes in four versions. The seat is available in carbon-aramid composite (CFRP/AFRP) or glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP), and in various sizes, including an XL option for drivers of larger build. The Pro Racer fits like a glove. And the FIA-homologated flexible sidemount accommodates any driver’s physique with ease.
