RT9129HR Series
The Racetech RT9129HR is the pinnacle of Racetech engineering, developed alongside the FIA 8862-2009 Advanced Racing Seat standard to deliver the highest level of driver protection, driver stability, and vehicle feedback. Trusted by professional teams competing in IMSA, the FIA World Endurance Championship, ELMS, ALMS, GT World Challenge, DTM, and Australian Supercars, it represents more than two decades of biomechanical research and crash testing.
Constructed from Racetech's proprietary carbon/Kevlar composite, the RT9129HR incorporates more than 100 strategically engineered reinforcement parts, FIA-approved energy-absorbing foam, and an integrated structural back mount to withstand impact loads exceeding 70G while reducing the forces transmitted to the driver.
Side (RTB1009M) and back (RTB1006B) mounting brackets are included in the purchase price.

Why Choose the RT9129HR?
FIA 8862-2009 Advanced Safety
Certified to one of the world's most demanding racing seat standards, with structural testing exceeding 70G for maximum professional-level protection.
Reinforced Carbon/Kevlar Construction
Extensive reinforcement throughout the shell increases structural integrity while allowing carefully engineered energy management during severe impacts.
Integrated Structural Back Mount
Designed as part of the seat itself, Racetech's integrated back mount design increases installation rigidity, delivers exceptional chassis feedback, and satisfies FIA 8862 installation requirements for GT3 categories.
Biomechanically Engineered Advanced Driver Containment
Ergonomic shell design, integrated head restraints, and Racetech's signature square shoulders improve driver stability while maintaining ideal harness and FHR positioning.
FIA Energy-Absorbing Foam
Strategically positioned high-density foam surrounds the head, shoulders, torso, and pelvis to reduce localised impact loads while providing exceptional comfort during endurance competition.
* To comply with FIA 8862-2009, the 129 series seats must be back-mounted to the rollcage at shoulder level. Back-mounting improves seat strength and stability during an impact, increases driver 'feel' and reduces driver fatigue, see the explanatory video here.
