The Track MINI Gets a Racing Seat | Time Attack MINI Cooper Ep. #3

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I've never had a proper racing seat like this Sparco before, but now I understand just how helpful it is to be properly held in place while driving at speed. As parts are still coming in and plans are evolving, I'm planning to start work on the suspension next week.

    Brings back Memories of my Mini R50. You need bucket seats and Harnesses or your going out the side Windows. Good luck with the build 👍

    Thanks man, I’m sure you can make something work! I’ve seen someone cut out the floor pan and lower it to sit the seat lower.

    Since this is a track car are you going to remove the other seats to cut the weight?

    Eventually yes, but for at least this year the class that I’m going into requires a full interior.

    What year does the Sparco expire? For HPDE events, you don't have to worry about it. But once you get into legit racing you'll have to keep an eye on the tags. I agree the stock seats are terrible and a fixed back racing seat is always a welcomed addition! Nice work.

    That’s what it’s seemed like as I’ve been reading into it. Big part of why I’ve gravitated that way. Seems like everyone pretty much regulates themselves and helps those around them.
