Put your attention into the driving.

When the corners come quickly, a well-fitted seat helps keep your driving position settled. The RECARO Pro Racer SP-A combines a carbon-aramid shell with close thigh and torso support, shoulder grip and integrated head protection. It is a dedicated competition seat for drivers who fit the standard shell comfortably and want support around the body while keeping their arms free to work.

SKU: 071.36.0630

Support without unnecessary shell weight

The carbon-aramid construction weighs approximately 7.0 kg without mounting hardware. Around you, shock-absorbing foam, grip at the shoulders and flame-retardant upholstery complete the competition specification. This is the SP-A composite model; the SP-G uses glass fibre. The appeal is a lightweight shell with the pronounced support and head protection you want when driving hard, rather than a seat chosen on weight alone.

Choose fit before weight

The XL version is wider and taller than the standard SP-A. Choose the standard SP-A when it holds you securely without pinching. A larger driver should compare the XL instead of compromising the fit. Both need to be assessed with the clothing, helmet and head-and-neck restraint you will use.

Harness and mounting

The seat supports 4-, 5- and 6-point harnesses and is developed for head-and-neck restraint use. Supplied as one seat. The vehicle-specific baseframe and any required sidemounts are additional. We can match these to your car and seating position; the installation must also account for the original belts, airbags and occupancy equipment. Use a competent seat installer for the mechanical and electrical work. Head-protector clearance, harness routing and the specified sidemount are part of the installation.

Competition life

FIA 8855-1999 homologation is for a five-year approval period, subject to the date label and the event rules. Inspect the shell, padding and mounts regularly. A seat exposed to crash loads must not simply be put back into service.

Build the driving position around you

Try the seating position with your driving clothing, helmet and head-and-neck restraint. You need room to work the controls with secure support around your hips, torso and shoulders. Set the seat angle and harness routing together; the fit matters more than choosing a lighter shell in the wrong size.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same shell as the SP-G?

No. The SP-A uses carbon-aramid composite; the SP-G uses glass fibre. Choose the SP-A for its composite construction, with the correct standard or XL size for your body.

Are the sidemounts included?

No. The appropriate mounting hardware is additional.

Can I recline the backrest?

No. This is a fixed competition shell; the installed angle is set using the specified mounting.

What makes XL different?

The XL gives more width and backrest height for a larger driver. It weighs approximately 7.5 kg without mounts, compared with about 7 kg for the standard SP-A.

Is it intended as a road-seat replacement?

This is a dedicated competition seat with FIA homologation. Its fixed shell, head protection and harness arrangement are designed around racing use.
