When it comes to motorsport, the right equipment can make all the difference. Enter the Tillett C1 and C1XL racing seats—innovative designs that offer unparalleled performance, safety, and comfort. These seats are not just about sitting comfortably; they're engineered to enhance your racing experience, whether you’re on the track or the road.
Racing seats are more than just a place to park yourself while driving. They are crucial for safety, comfort, and performance. The Tillett C1 and C1XL racing seats go beyond the basics, offering compatibility with race harnesses and a 20° Hans device for added safety. A 5 or 6-point race harness is recommended for optimal security. Each seat is equipped with stainless steel side mounting points and a Dinamica® covered headrest panel as standard. For those wanting a touch of luxury, there's an option for cushion and back panels covered in Dinamica® suede. The unique body-mirroring shape of the C1 seats provides a snug fit without the need for excessive padding, making them ideal for open-top cars or racing in adverse weather conditions.
The Tillett C1 racing seat is designed with the racer in mind. Its saloon car seating angle offers superior leg and head support, ensuring comfort and security at high speeds. Built to meet the stringent 8855-1999 FIA homologation safety standards, the C1 is a top choice for competitive drivers. Its unique edge cuts, available as C1-41 for narrow cars and C1-44 with a rolled edge, provide a tailored fit for various car designs. With maximum control and responsiveness, the C1 racing seat makes for an exhilarating driving experience.
The construction of the Tillett C1 speaks volumes about its quality. Its twin skin molding offers exceptional strength and rigidity, crucial for maintaining driver safety during high-intensity races. Despite its robust build, the seat is lightweight, coming in at just 7.1kg with a minor 10% weight variation. This lightness ensures that the driver remains close to the car’s center of gravity, which translates into improved handling and balance. Whether you're navigating tight corners or speeding down a straight, the C1’s design keeps you firmly in control.
For those who require a little extra room, the Tillett C1XL is the perfect solution. Suitable for drivers up to 130 kg and a 40-inch jeans waist size, the C1XL retains all the features of the standard C1 but offers a bit more space. It features the same edge cut options as the C1—C1-44 XL for narrow cars and C1-47 XL with a rolled edge. Weighing slightly more at 7.5kg, the C1XL is still incredibly light, maintaining the dynamic performance characteristics of its smaller counterpart. Both the C1 and C1XL offer a choice of high gloss carbon/GRP or black gloss GRP finishes, providing both style and functionality.
Whether you're racing in an open-top car or caught in harsh weather conditions, the Tillett C1 and C1XL seats deliver top-notch performance. Their body-mirroring shape and saloon car seating angle ensure maximum control and responsiveness. With a variety of edge cuts and finishes available, each seat can be tailored to your specific needs and style preferences. The compatibility with race harnesses and Hans devices guarantees the highest safety standards, making these seats a reliable choice for any serious racer.
In the world of motorsport, having the right gear is essential. The Tillett C1 and C1XL racing seats are designed to meet the needs of competitive drivers, offering comfort, safety, and performance in one sleek package.
