    The PPI Design car from Texas that was run at Brainard International Raceway October of 2009 had racing bucket seats. I did not get pictures of the seats. I looked at their website and could NOT find them listed. I know the Recaro seats were featured in a concept R8. I contacted Recaro directly and they said they were available, but bring lots of money.

    I know PPI fitted the Porsche GT2 bucket seats with side airbags in the Razor car. Not sure if they are direct fit of if the brackets had to be custom made. I've driven a 997 Turbo with these seats and they are very comfortable and supportive. Very basic fore and aft sliders.

    Hope this helps.

    The Audi R 8 optional seat is exceptional, and with alcantara inserts the best. The stock seat with alcantara inserts should do me fine. Desparado, are 4 point seat belts legal on the street?

    Recaro CS seats like the OEM bucket seat with or without side airbag.

    The stock seats are really nice.What is needed with race seats would be a roll bar,onto which ,proper seat harness could be attatched. I wouldn't want to lose any of the air bags. Racing seat belts are a real problem on the R 8, a car that is supposed to be track ready. The Schroth racing department told me this.
