Seats may look “the business” in a brochure, but not every seat fits every car, and more importantly not every bum fits every seat. While that first rush of enthusiasm to show off your new purchase might mean that you squeeze into something and think you’ll get used to it, the truth is using the wrong fitting seat can become a right pain in the lumbar regions!
That’s why Cobra’s range of seats feature different widths, with GT models to accommodate the wider “sub frame” and our innovative Pro-Fit service to make a seat bespoke to the individual.
Our carefully selected range of distributors have the experience to see at a glance whether a seat will fit or not.
Choosing the correct seat isn’t just about comfort: Remember that behind Cobra Seats there are years of development and testing to make sure that they provide the level of safety that you would hope for. Wrongly fitted seats can be life-threatening and even driving in a seat with the harness in the wrong position can put a driver at risk of serious injury in the event of a collision.
So, before you put your hand in your wallet, spend an hour with a Cobra distributor – it may turn out that the seat you always wanted is just right for you after all, but there could be one that is more comfortable, safer and even more stylish waiting to be discovered.
The three races at Oulton Park took the British Touring Car Championship to the halfway stage of a fascinating season - with an unofficial race to see which driver would reach the summer break with a lead in the Drivers Championship.
Well, at the halfway stage of the British Touring Car Championship season, drivers using Cobra seats are one and two in the standings with Jake Hill just four points ahead of Tom Ingram … and Josh Cook and Colin Turkington are still very much in the mix, lying fifth and sixth in the standings.
Following his impressive form at Snetterton Jake Hill claimed his second double of the season with wins in race 1 and race 2 at Thruxton – the fastest circuit on the BTCC schedule.
However, it wasn’t a day without controversy and fellow “Cobra Boy” Tom Ingram felt somewhat aggrieved that his first place across the line in race 2 was relegated to a third place in the steward’s room leaving him with “just” two third place podiums on the day.
This time it was “Cobra driver” Jake Hill who enjoyed a double delight claiming two wins in the first two races of the day, putting in perhaps the most impressive drive of his career to date in claiming his 14th ever BTCC win in race 2.
Race 3 provided a clean sweep of the podium for Toyota and for drivers using Cobra seats: Rob Huff, starting 14th on the grid and taking full advantage of his choice of soft tyres, cut through the field to take the final win of the day. For the immensely experienced former World Touring Car Champion this wasn’t just his first win of the season it was his first win in the British Touring Car Championship for 20 years
