I picked the right 944 to follow through traffic and that was the pick I needed to get free. Keith and I had an even more fun side by side battle for another lap or so. 944 group weren't too happy with the traffic coming through tho. I won the qualy race with the ST/PT group starting behind Spec944 on the same flag. An ST4/Spec Boxster was moved down into our group, and an E46 BMW showed up with painters tape class letters. Sunday Qualifying was a 2nd race based on race #1 finish position, but we had 2 more competitors. He was battling handling issues all weekend after upgrading/converting the car from PTD. Won race 1 after a short 1 lap battle with Keith. I was out front with a gap on my slower tires. We ended up having 4 ST5 cars, but no real racing battles. They can put the back of the seat on the rear bulkhead. I need the forward most mounting slot to reach my pedals. I begged and pleaded for a set for myself. They are currently a one-off set of tall-guy specials made by a friend. This allows the entire shell of the seat to pass down through the mounting bracket and sit on the floor. Key feature is that the rear floor mounts are moved back behind the humps. New custom seat brackets received and test fit yesterday. I typically do not need to add any booster pads to Emilio's cars(he is over 6ft), but do need an extra steering wheel spacer. I have some 'cushion' still, but wear 32/30 pants. I am 5'10" 185lb and on my way down from 225lb. Whereas I can feel each important touch point of the OMP, the knee pad, rib cage bolsters, shoulder wing wrap angle, etc. They don't pinch per say, but I meld perfectly into the entire bucket of the Sparco. The OMP also has more harsh ribcage bolster edges. I'd rather get my knee height by reclining the seat. The OMP has a very pronounced knee lift pad that I find uncomfortable. The base is ~1" longer under the thighs with a much more linear pad. Meaning that door panel fitment would actually be pretty similar if both seats are mounted in the same centralized location.įor my body composition, the Circuit II is significantly more comfortable. Shoulder wings are actually within 1/8" of eachother.

Meaning, the OMP will actually require more trans tunnel mods or be more off center.
OMP base is actually wider, but shorter under the thighs. Meaning, much worse cage/door/window/net fitment, but more head swivel room inside the seat. Sparco Circuit II halo is huge, 4-5" wider than the R400. Product spec sheets are not 100% accurate for either seat. Sonny has a new Sparco Circuit II going into his car. Center nets and seat halos do two different things.Įmilio picked an OMP HTE-R400 for Vegas, so we have one on hand. Supermiata rules will require one by 2019, NASA rules currently require either a halo seat or center net, but will likely go Halo AND center net soon as well. In TT and HPDE, expired seats and harnesses are still legal.
Since it is/was FIA approved, I was able to limp it along with an I/O Port back brace for the last three w2w race seasons. It has long since expired and does not have a Halo.
I have had the same Sparco Evo through three cars and ~9 years of track use now.
