Get settled. Concentrate on the next lap.

The RECARO P 1300 GT LW gives you close support, integrated head protection and replaceable pads to tailor the seat around your body. Its lightweight carbon shell meets FIA 8862-2009 Advanced Racing Seat requirements for GT and touring-car competition. Settle into a defined driving position and concentrate on the next lap. For a shared endurance car, the optional adjustable sidemount makes changing drivers more practical too.

SKU: 071.87.0995

A lighter shell, with support where it counts

The low hip point, shock-absorbing foam and flame-retardant covering build support around the driver. The CFRP shell is 11% lighter than the regular P 1300 GT shell: approximately 11 kg bare, or 14 kg with pads and upholstery. The premium buys a lighter shell with FIA 8862-2009 Advanced Racing Seat homologation.

Make the car work for each driver

The included M pad kit suits a medium build. Optional S, M Mid and L kits, plus individual support pads, let you tailor the contact around the driver. Add the flexible sidemount and you also gain 130 mm of fore-and-aft travel and 3° of tilt adjustment. That is particularly useful when drivers with different seating positions share the car. The sidemount is additional and its installation geometry is based on the specified 8.5° floor slope.

Harnesses and installation

The seat is designed for head-and-neck restraint systems and 4-, 5- or 6-point harnesses. Install it with the specified mount, harness geometry and adequate helmet/head-protector clearance. This is a competition seat without ABE road approval.

Over the life of the seat

The FIA 8862-2009 approval period is 10 years, subject to the seat label and your championship’s requirements. Keep the shell, mounts and pads in good condition and follow RECARO’s inspection and accident-replacement requirements. The replaceable pad system also helps maintain the fit as padding wears.

Frequently asked questions

Is the adjustable sidemount included?

No. The flexible sidemount is an additional accessory. The seat includes the M pad kit.

Can two drivers share the same seat?

The replaceable pad choices and optional fore-and-aft sidemount make the seat suitable for tailoring to different drivers. Each driver still needs the correct fit with the harness and head-and-neck restraint.

How does it differ from the regular P 1300 GT?

The LW uses the lighter shell, with an 11% reduction in bare-shell weight. It retains the Advanced Racing Seat role rather than becoming a road seat.

Can I use it on the road?

This is a competition seat without ABE road approval.

Why choose this over a simpler fixed race seat?

For its combination of FIA 8862-2009 construction, a lighter carbon shell and a fit that can be tailored with replaceable pads. The optional adjustable sidemount is a further advantage for a shared endurance car. Choose it when those features matter to your racing, with the correct seat fit and event requirements established first.
