Seat Fitment and Adjustment

DwD 0494:  Seat Fitment and Adjustment

In this episode of Dominating with Dawson, we go over the importance of properly installing and selecting a racing seat.  While many endurance teams are forced into making compromises for all drivers’ sizes and shapes, it is more ideal to take extra time and make sure the seat and the installation are perfect for a single driver car.  We do go into some of the options and strategies to minimize any issues when in a team situation.

DwD 0382:  Race Seat vs OEM Seats:  Advantages/Disadvantages and When to Change to a Race Seat

We talk about some of the key differences between a racing seat vs your OEM seat.  This also includes the seat belt and harness differences.  Obviously, there is a difference between the construction and installation of the race seat, but their use also makes a few “normal” use cases a bit more difficult.  We cover several of the differences and advantages and disadvantages of the conversion.  We also go with when it may be a good decision and when it really should be a non-optional addition to your car.  As always, try to keep your safety as the top priority.
