Sabelt GT-3 Motorsport Racing Seat

What it is

The GT-3 is Sabelt's bestseller. A lightweight fibreglass competition seat designed with specific care for comfort. The shell weighs 15 percent less than the previous model thanks to a lightweight lamination, and the separate leg cushion gives a noticeably better ride over a long stint. $929.95.

Who it suits

Club racers, track day drivers and sim drivers who want an FIA homologated shell at the most accessible price in the Sabelt range. It is the seat I suggest first when someone asks for a real race seat on a budget.

Specification

FIA 8855-1999 homologated. Lightweight fibreglass shell, 15 percent lighter than the previous model. Lateral fixing. Suitable for six point harnesses. High wear resistance VEP fabric. Separate and removable leg cushion. Available in size Large only. Shipping weight 35 lb.

Compatibility

Fits the Sabelt S99 EVO I and X99 EVO I cockpits with the appropriate side brackets, and any rig or car that takes a side mounted competition seat. Wheelbase and pedal choice does not affect the seat, so it sits behind a Simucube, Fanatec or any other base, and in front of Heusinkveld or Simucube pedals, without change.

What is in the box

The seat shell with its fitted padding. Side brackets, sliders and mounting hardware are sold separately under seat accessories, because the bracket depends on the cockpit. If you are putting this seat on a Sabelt S Series or X Series cockpit, ask me and I will specify the bracket.

Shipping and lead time

I ship to the United States and Canada only. Sabelt seats are configured to order with a lead time of 3 to 6 weeks, and they ship as freight from my workshop in Miami rather than by parcel, so freight is quoted separately and is not covered by the free parts shipping. Canadian orders are priced in USD and duties and taxes are collected by the carrier on delivery. Full detail is on the Shipping page.
