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 250^oC 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.

JOSH COOK, THE KING OF THRUXTON RECLAIMS HIS CROWN.

JAKE HILL STILL IN FOUR WAY BATTLE FOR TITLE

Race three saw Josh Cook claim his tenth BTCC career victory at Thruxton.

However, frustration in race one and disappointment in race two probably means that Josh Cook has too much ground to make up to make a play for the Drivers’ Championship. Meanwhile, Colin Turkington’s second place in race three gives him a six-point lead ahead of Ash Sutton in the driver’s rankings with just six races to go and Tom Ingram only trails Colin by 18 points. While Jake Hill’s Championship chances were dented when his ROKiT MB Motorsport BMW ran onto the grass during the opening lap of race three, leaving him to settle for 12th position, Jake is also still very much in the mix just 23 points off top spot.

62, 63, 500, 282: COLIN TURKINGTON PLAYS THE NUMBERS GAME AT SNETTERTON

At Cobra we’re proud that so many of the top drivers in the British Touring Car Championship use our seats – and try to mention as many as possible in our updates, but occasionally history dictates that we turn the spotlight on one driver in particular.

Our relationship with West Surrey Racing and Colin Turkington goes back well over a decade and has seen Cobra Seats play its part in WSR winning a hatful of Teams and Manufacturers Championships and Colin claiming the Driver’s Championship on no fewer than four occasions.

So we were very aware that the third race at Snetterton would be Colin’s 500^th start in a BTCC race – and not at all surprised that he marked the milestone with a pole grabbing drive in qualifying followed by a win-double in the first two races of the day – the 62^nd and 63^rd times that he has claimed the top podium in his BTCC career, pushing his season’s points total so far to a field heading 282 points.

GAMBLE PAYS OFF FOR BMW.

It was a weekend to remember for BMW (and – by association – for Cobra Seats) at the latest British Touring Car Championship round at Knockhill.

Jake Hill was fastest in qualifying and converted his pole position to a win in race one before going on to finish second in races two and three to claim his best weekend to date in the BTCC. Meanwhile George Gamble claimed his maiden victory in race three … and Colin Turkington ended the weekend at the top of the standings in one of the closest seasons we can remember.
