[QUOTE="Jeff Furrier, post: 718050, member: 14301"] Dakar is sanctioned by the FIA, so the seats are required to be FIA approved. Sparco has a suspension style seat(Sprint) that was approved years ago, but I've never seen them in a racaecar or would I recommend them. There are no FIA approved US built suspension seats that Ive ever seen and I would doubt they could possibly meet the current spec, mostly because of the steel tube frame wouldnt pass the current load tests. In 2002ish Larry Ragland went to Dakar with a Pro Truck equipped Mastercraft suspension seats, they couldn't get through tech without refitting the truck with Sparco Pro 2000's. Larry is the one that got me to recognize that value of the shell style seat and we've been educating off road guys ever since. [/QUOTE]
