Competition seats certified to the FIA 8855-1999 standard does not comply with all the requirements defined in the FIA 8855 -1999 standard..
FIA therefore decided that for safety reasons the homologation of the following competition seat, What ever the manufacturing date, is withdrawn with immediate effect:
MAKE : RECARO GmbH% co (DEU)
Model : Pole Position
Homologation number: CS.997.00
All these seats can no longer be considered as complying with the FIA 8855-1999 standard, their use is prohibited in all cases in which compliance with the above-mentioned standard is Mandatory. This decision will be published in the next edition of the FIA bulletin.
Just a note to clarify for those who may not be as familiar with the regs as maybe they should be.....
Technical Regulations -
Appendix Two:
3 - Driver Restraint System
o) A one-piece racing seat must be fitted in place of the standard driver's seat. The passenger seat
may be removed or replaced with a racing seat. All seats must provide a headrest; alternately, a
padded head rest may be affixed to the roll cage. The head restraint must have a minimum area
of 235 square cm (36 square") and be capable of absorbing two hundred (200) pounds force in a
horizontal direction. The headrest must be within five (5) centimetres (2 inches) of the driver's
helmet in a normal seated position. If a competitor is replacing an existing seat with a new seat it
is recommended to install a racing seat that carries a SFI, FIA 8855 1999 or FIA 8862 2009
approved label.
p) Improved Touring and Ice Racing classes may use original equipment seats, provided that an
adequate headrest (as defined above) is fitted to the rollover structure. A shoulder harness
anchor or guide must be provided immediately behind the seat back at shoulder level.
