COBRA: KEEPING ONE STEP AHEAD OF THE COMPETITION

  • To gain FIA approval, Cobra Seats have to undergo the most stringent testing imaginable - it makes Cobra Seats one of the safest seats you can buy.
  • Every component of a Cobra seat is meticulously designed to ensure that it offers the ultimate in driver comfort and safety.
  • Metal components are precision engineered in our workshops to tolerances of less than 0.5mm.
  • Seat shells are manufactured in laboratory conditions to guarantee consistency, quality and strength: moulded in autoclaves with capabilities of 250oC and 7 bar pressure, our seat materials are fully traceable to source.
  • The foams we use are rate-sensitive: while the foam slowly deflects under sustained pressure, they behave like stiffer foams when they receive an impact.  The foams' ability to dissipate energy prevents them from bottoming out and virtually no energy is returned to the impacting body.
  • Cobra Seats can be upholstered in Dinamica - a wonder fabric that is stylish, tactile and very durable: it is colourfast and resistant to pilling.
  • Cobra seats use Outlast® technology - originally developed for NASA to protect astronauts from temperature fluctuations, microcapsules in a Cobra seat absorb body heat to keep you cool and can release it back to the body as needed. It creates a microclimate to improve driver comfort.
  • Strategic technical partnerships optimise driver safety and comfort too.
  • Cobra and SCHROTH collaborate to develop shell geometry with perfect harness position.
  • Cobra and FHR manufacturers collaborate to ensure Cobra Seats optimise the comfort and safety benefits of SCHROTH Racing iNDi seat devices.

AGAIN, ALL THREE WINS FOR DRIVERS USING COBRA SEATS AND WITH JUST THREE RACES TO GO “COBRA BOYS” JAKE HILL AND TOM INGRAM SHARE THE TOP STEP OF THE DRIVERS’ STANDINGS.

The final dramas of the season began to unfold on the short National circuit at a very cold and wet Silverstone.

By race three the heavens had opened and it was marginal as to whether the race would or should go ahead. In true BTCC style, Tom Ingram was leading the race when,at the very last corner of the last lap, Ash Sutton – still with his eyes on the crown – challenged for the lead, tapped Ingram who went sideways before saving the slide and crossing the line first, just ahead of the Ford with Josh Cook taking his second third of the day.

Amazingly Jake Hill’s fifth position means that as we approach the season finale at Brands Hatch, Hill and Ingram are equal on points with Jake Hill topping the table by virtue of his 7 race wins to Ingram’s 5.

“COBRA BOYS” JAKE HILL AND TOM INGRAM CONTINUE TO BATTLE FOR THE BTCC CROWN.

The BTCC roadshow returned to Donington where the 2024 season began.

This time the inclusion of the Melbourne loop meant that the drivers were navigating the GP circuit, but Tom Ingram was hoping for a repeat of the double win that heralded the start of his campaign.

Cometh the hour, cometh the man and in race three Tom Ingram delivered the drive of the day and what may yet prove to be the drive of the season, starting 19th on the grid and working his way through the field to an incredible second, with Cook fourth (his third fourth of the day!) and Hill fifth.

The consistency of 7th, 3rd and that 5th place in the final race sees Hill take a nine-point lead over Ingram going into Silverstone.
