THE C1 CAR SEAT FOR COMPETITION USE
This competition focused seat is a new direction for Tillett Racing Seats and is based on our popular B6 Screamer. It retains the compact dimensions of the B6 but also has a side impact head support.
The seat can be used comfortably without any lower padding, giving ultimate feel and feedback but at the same time retains great peripheral vision, which is essential in a competition seat. The ability of this seat to be used without covering and the carefully sculptured shape mean that you can achieve a lower driving position with more legroom than most of the competition. Its perfect ergonomic shape gives excellent support, whilst at the same time leaving the shoulders free to help steer the car unhindered.
The C1 is ultra rigid but under impact envelops and decelerates the occupant in a controlled and limited way to avoid injury. This safely keeps the competitor in the intended position within the cockpit. The rigidity is vital for stopping the harness and Hans device from becoming loose during an accident. Another benefit is that the uncovered version is ideal in harsh environments.
The C1 has an XL size for drivers of over 100 kg with a waist size over 36 inches.
These seats are manufactured using our internally developed moulding system, which creates perfect laminates which are super strong and consistent.
The C1 is supplied as standard with three Dinamica® suede covered headrest pads. As an extra cost option additional padded Dinamica® cushion and back panels are also available. The weight of the C1 and C1 XL is light from 7.1 kg, or 8.1 kg including the suede covered cushion and back panels. With the C1 you have the choice to order a 41 or 44 cm front and both types are the same size internally. The C1-41 version is made to allow fitment between the gearbox tunnel and the door sill of a restricted width cockpit.
With the XL size you have the C1-44 XL for those vehicles that have a narrow cockpit and the C1-47 XL for cars where the space is available.
With the C1-44 and C1-47 XL the continuous rolled edge of the composite is uncut, giving a more aesthetically pleasing line to the edge of the seat and making it easier to slide in and out of the car quickly. Therefore, if you have the space, we recommend using this model.
Both cut and uncut models are FIA homologated to 8855-1999.
