hello people . i got the leather seats and wanted carbon seats , my problem is i live in a country where i cant go anywhere and sit in seats to find a good fit . the other day i sat in this car and it had very comfortable carbon seats . does anybody knwo wich specific type these are and are they caterhams own seats ?

I was about to say I thought the standard seats (GRP and Carbon) were all/ mostly made by Tillett.

Then I noticed the third cut out in that drivers seat, which I’ve never seen before (the passenger looks standard). As that seat has the harnesses in the correct position for a HANS I wonder if that third cut out is for a HANS (not sure how that would work.

The normal approach for a HANS is to cut the top off the seat where the harnesses come through.

well this is a car build for the cup in my country i was told so the hans thing makes sense . i supose theres many seats alike in this category and this specific seat cant be identified you think ? it was the perfect fit and ive sat in others who look alike but fitted completely differently

Excepting the additional cutout (which I've never seen before) those are the seats referred to as "composite" Tillett seats. They are not the R500 carbon-Kevlar versions which have the natural colour of the carbon and Kevlar weave.

In my opinion the carbon-Kevlar versions are much comfier than the GRP (composite) version. I did 20 years and probably 30,000 miles with R500 seats and find them the comfiest of all the Caterham seats I've experienced.
