Driving competitively requires a racing seat that lets you stay
put. Hard cornering and braking constantly try to make you slide
left and right, or forward out of the seat. If you're investing
energy into staying put, that's mental and physical resources you
can't devote to the most important thing: winning. That's true
during street driving, at least the way we sometimes drive on the
street. A stock seat simply doesn't have enough lateral support to
keep your butt planted or your shoulders in one place so you can
make precise inputs to the steering, accelerator or brakes. R&L
racing seats are optimized for "spirited" driving, and are
engineered to work properly with 4- or 5-point racing harnesses
instead of seatbelts and airbags. Upholstered in high quality
materials these seats also happen to look amazing.
