rules on bucket setas?

[Serg]

ok im after some bucket seats for road and the occasional track use now i was looking at things like cobra imolas and sorts. Now iv been told i wouldnt be able to use these on a track day as they arnt FIA approved. However when i go online i see they have been aproved up untill 1999??

so whos right?

iirc track days are fine, its just if you are entering a race series where you will need to conform

as said for trackdays and road use they are fine.....only proper racing do they need to be approved

try them out before you buy, possibly the second most uncomfortable seat cobra make!

well yes i have a few differnt brands and seats in mind, just wanted to ask about the rules first. Also what are peoples opions on high sided seats?? or is it better to have the ones that the side drops away?? (if you understand :S)

Imolas are FIA approved for 5 years from date of purchase. More info here: http://www.sportseats4u.com/approved-explained-s-51.html
