Name: Tillet B8 Carbon/GRP Racing Seat w/ Edges Off SLight Second
Brand: Tillett
SKU: 156563266
Price: 1834.43 USD

The B8 car seat is Ideal for road and track use in performance saloon cars. The seat excels where support and weight saving are important, along with comfort and convenience for daily driving. Due to its twin moulding construction, it is rigid and strong yet remains lightweight.

The B8 has a carefully contoured shape which supports the body whilst leaving the shoulders free to steer the car unhindered. Its shape is so perfectly moulded to the body that it needs no covering, reducing the overall seat weight and lowering the driving position. The ability of the B8 to run without padding is ideal for an open topped car in a harsh environment. We do however recommend using our thin Dinamica suede covered panel sets for more regular road use.

There are two edge cuts, the B8-44.5 we call "Edges on" meaning the continuous rolled edge at the leg area of the seat remains uncut. This gives a more aesthetically pleasing line to the edge of the seat making it easier to slide in and out of the car. Therefore, if you have the space, we recommend using this model.

If you do not have the space the B8-43 is needed. We call this specification the "Edges off" option. These have the rolled edges at the leg area carefully removed to fit the seat between the gearbox tunnel and the door sill of a restricted width cockpit. This trimmed back option is required to fit the B8 in a Lotus Elise/Exige.

Who is Tillett Racing Seats?

Starting from a one-person operation in a small garage, it has grown into a proposed 22,000 square foot factory catering to multiple racing teams worldwide.

Tillett Racing Seats has always pushed itself in continuously improving its products by actively competing and testing it against top racing drivers. Using actual data, they incorporate these into their products and adapt to the needs of the drivers.

Classic Innovators

Having the company’s grassroots in kart racing, Steve Tillet, the company’s founder, made the first prototype of the Tillet seats out of his need.

During the ’70s, with the introduction of stickier tires for karting, it is common for racers to have ribbed bruises due to slipping and sliding in their seats. By using fabric from a used motor vehicle and attaching it on the seat, they were able to eliminate the injuries.

This, in turn, allowed them to attack the corners more aggressively compared to their competitors. It was noticed by other racers as well. It eventually led to them ordering the same seats for their race cars.

Partners with Top International Racing Teams

Tillet products never stop evolving. And this has allowed them to stay ahead of the competition.

It has become an essential part of some of the most successful race car drivers. This includes Michael Schumacher, Max Verstappen, Lando Norris, Kimi Raikkonen, Jenson Button, Robert Kubica, and Lewis Hamilton, to name a few.
