The Sabelt GT-Pad FIA Racing Seat is designed around a modular pad system, which means the seat does not include padding by default. To use the seat, separate GT-Pad cushion kits must be ordered individually in the desired size (Medium, Large, or X-Large).
This modular approach allows teams to use a single FIA-approved fiberglass shell while swapping pad kits to suit different drivers, making it ideal for endurance racing and multi-driver vehicles. Ordering pad kits separately ensures a precise, driver-specific fit. Click here to order your pad kit
