RECARO Race Profi SPG / SPG XL Seat

The RECARO Race Profi SPG / SPG XL Seat is purpose-built for serious motorsport use, delivering proven performance in offroad, rally, and track environments where maximum support and durability are critical. Constructed from a glass fiber reinforced polymer shell, the Profi SPG provides exceptional strength and rigidity while maintaining a lightweight design, ensuring superb lateral hold under extreme driving conditions. For drivers requiring additional space, the SPG XL features a wider and taller shell with larger belt slots to accommodate bigger frames and racing harnesses without compromising safety or support. Trusted across competitive disciplines, the Race Profi SPG lineup offers uncompromising driver containment, precise feedback, and race-ready ergonomics.

Peak Body Support for Unparalleled Racing Performance

• Motorsport represents the ultimate test of both driver and machine, exposing them to extreme speeds, forces, vibration, impacts, and sustained high G loads. Success demands absolute confidence in the vehicle and every component within it. A race car is uncompromising by nature, loud, rigid, and purpose-built for competition. As the primary interface between driver and car, the seat delivers constant, precise feedback from the chassis, tires, brakes, engine, and track surface. It must be engineered so perfectly that the driver can focus solely on control, performance, and winning, with total concentration required every second on track.

Like a Second Protective Skin

• According to RECARO, the ultimate racing seat is one you barely notice because it supports and surrounds the driver like a second skin. Drawing on deep expertise in human anatomy, particularly spinal support, RECARO designs racing seats to provide exceptional ergonomics, helping protect the driver’s back against the intense forces encountered in motorsport.

No Compromises

• Driver protection at RECARO goes far beyond perception. Safety is treated as a non-negotiable priority with no compromises. Since 1990, more than 14,200 RECARO racing seats have undergone rigorous testing. From the earliest development stages, RECARO works closely with other safety equipment manufacturers to ensure its products consistently exceed legal requirements, earning the trust of OEMs, professional teams, and racing drivers worldwide.

A Safe Seat is a Sure Win

• RECARO products meet stringent FIA requirements across the board. Models such as the P1300 GT LW with flexible side mounts even comply with the demanding FIA 8862-2009 Advanced Racing Seat standard, certified for ten years of use and mandated in many top-tier championships including GT3, WRC, WRX, and ERC. RECARO shell seats have been tested under loads of up to 6.1 metric tons, demonstrating compliance with the highest design and safety benchmarks while delivering optimal driver support.
• Motorsport carries inherent risk, placing extreme physical and mental demands on drivers. Absolute trust in equipment is essential, which is why leading competitors across national and international racing series choose RECARO racing shells. Exceptional safety standards, exhaustive testing, advanced manufacturing processes, and more than 115 years of experience ensure the highest possible margin of safety.

Your New Seat is as Individual as You

• RECARO recognizes that every driver is unique, and proper fit is critical to performance. Just like racing apparel, a seat must suit the driver’s physique precisely to avoid distraction. RECARO racing seats are designed to fit like a tailor-made suit, combining comfort, ergonomics, and craftsmanship refined through experience, passion, and technical expertise.
• To accommodate drivers of larger build, RECARO offers XL seat variants while also providing interchangeable seat pads in three sizes for fine-tuning the driving position. The pads are strategically placed only at body contact points, allowing airflow through the shell for improved ventilation and comfort, effectively acting as passive air conditioning.
• RECARO’s modular system includes shells compatible with both fixed and flexible side mounts. The flexible option allows fore and aft adjustment to achieve an optimal driving position regardless of driver size. Both mounting solutions are well suited for endurance racing and events requiring rapid driver changes.

Every Inch Premium

• Each RECARO racing seat combines ultra-lightweight materials, highly flame-retardant upholstery, and meticulous hand craftsmanship. In motorsport, unwavering trust in equipment quality is essential, and for more than 50 years drivers have relied on RECARO’s expertise. Peerless design, premium materials, and hand-built construction ensure every seat meets the highest performance demands.
• While often imitated, RECARO designs are never matched. The brand utilizes three advanced lightweight materials; carbon fiber reinforced polymer, carbon aramid composites, and glass fiber reinforced plastic. These materials are combined using advanced bonding techniques and aerospace-grade manufacturing methods, including autoclave production for select models, to achieve maximum strength with minimal weight. Comprehensive quality control, including precise heat treatment processes, ensures flawless performance.
