The Podium GF brings RECARO's dual road-and-race Podium concept to a glass-fibre shell. It keeps the same approvals, pad system, M/L sizing and integrated headrest as the carbon Podium CF, finished in a mirror-black gelcoat, at a lower cost and around 3.6 kg more weight.

Key features

  • Glass fibre reinforced plastic (GFRP) seat shell.
  • High-grade surface in mirror-finish black gelcoat.
  • ABE and FIA homologation, suitable for track and road.
  • Special lateral support and specially formed shoulder support.
  • Integrated headrest.
  • Road use with a 3- or 4-point belt; FIA use with a 4-, 5- or 6-point belt.
  • Developed for use with HANS systems.
  • Size M is supplied with pads for medium-build drivers and size L with pads for larger-build drivers.
  • Shaped pads let air circulate through the seat.

Comfort and adjustment

  • The M pads are approximately 20 mm thick and suit medium-build drivers; the L pads are approximately 10 mm thick and free up room for larger-build drivers.

Installation and compatibility

  • The sidemount is an accessory at additional cost and is not included; RECARO lists ABE and FIA sidemounts separately.
  • A vehicle-specific baseframe is also required for road use.
  • RECARO recommends temporarily removing the pad and pad pins when using a HANS system.
  • Pad Kits M and L in three cover options are listed as separate accessories.

Approval and safety

  • RECARO states that ABE (German general type approval) / component certification applies with a 3-point belt for many vehicles, and only in conjunction with a RECARO baseframe and sidemount.
  • FIA 8855-1999 homologation applies only in conjunction with the specified sidemount.
  • FIA homologation number CS.498.22 under FIA standard 8855-1999.
  • RECARO marks FIA 8855-1999 seats as Competition Seat with FIA homologation for 5 years.
  • No FIA approval if the seat is used with a side airbag.
  • The Podium carries the AGR seal and was the first racing shell to receive it.
  • A side airbag is listed as in development, so it is not an available option on this seat.
  • ABE general type approval / component certification under KBA No. 91909.

In the box

  • Supplied with the pad set for the selected size (M or L) in the selected cover.

Before ordering

Confirm the vehicle, the side you need and the RECARO baseframe or sidemount that suits it before ordering, and check cabin clearance, seat height and any original airbag, seat-occupancy or belt-mount equipment the seat will affect. If any of that is unclear, ask us about fitment before you buy.
