The RENNSPORT Safari Rally seat was inspired by the need for a replica Porsche seat to that made by Recaro and used in the Safari Rally in Porsche 911 2.4S and RS cars that competed in that event in 1972, 1973 and 1974. It was also the prefered drivers seat in the awesome 2.8 RSR of 1973. A version similar to our RENNSPORT race seat being used for the passenger. The drawback of the original seat by Recaro was that it was of fibreglass construction and although light was vunerable to breaking in an accident. It was after all not homologated for road use as it was used only in race and rally cars. In addition by today's standards the backrest was low and the headrest barely reached the shoulders. Also to accomodate different drivers the seat was made in three sizes the smallest of which could only accomodate a 75 kilo driver. Our seat comes in two sizes and this one is the smaller of the two. Its still provides plenty more width and shoulder area than the original seat and more height for neck protection without compromising the classic appearance. Compared to our larger version it has thicker padding in the area underneath the arms at the sides of the chest to provide greater support for drivers between 75 and 90 kilos. It too is made of lightweight tubular steel not fibreglass and is therefore very strong.

This seat will suit any classic car suitably modified for racing or rallying and/or occassional track day use and of course any road replica of a racing car of that period.
