Topic: Seat back brace for FIA-certified composite seat?
Been going round and round with looking at the tech sheet and our seat certification, but I'm a bit confused. We have EVERYTHING else completed to pass tech, but this one area is causing me heartburn. If someone can elaborate, I would be very grateful.
Driver’s Seat: One-piece racing seat; solid to car; seatback correctly restrained or braced
Since we are funning an OMP composite seat, do we NEED to have a seat back brace installed? The seat will be around 6" from the harness bar, however I have seen other vehicles that when the seat is forward, a brace extends and sits an inch or two behind the seat. Is this additional brace mandatory to pass tech, or only needed "at a teams' discretion"?
Thanks in advance, hope to see some of y'all at CMP in a week!
