Who is Tillett:
All Tillett racing seats are designed and manufactured in the UK by specialists. Now distributed Australia wide through Pro Speed Racing.
Kart Seats are the heart of Tillett Racing Seats and have been since the very first seat was created, over 35 years ago. Founder, Steve Tillett designed his first seat in his father’s garage in 1986, pioneering the idea behind seat design, which would go onto shape the entire karting world. Fast forward to the present day, Tillett is the leading supplier of kart racing products, utilising decades of development, knowledge and modern technology - producing models dedicated to performance and comfort, for all classes of karting around the world.
Our seats have been used by the very best drivers such as Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, Michael Schumacher, Lando Norris, Kimi Raikkonen and Jenson Button. Team and drivers from all over the world, have given us premium feedback on our seats, allowing us to set the precedence for quality in the industry.
Tillett B6 Screamer Seat:
The FIA approved car seat made for competition cars. Two sizes available with two outer width variations. This model is one of the most compact, lightweight yet comfortable FIA homologated seats on the market. The ability of this seat can be used without covering and the carefully sculptured shape means that you can achieve a lower driving position than the competition. It’s perfectly contoured shape gives excellent support, whilst at the same time leaving the shoulders free to help steer the car unhindered.
The Tillett B6 Screamer seat is manufactured using our internally developed moulding system, which creates superior strength and accuracy. With its ultra-rigid design, the seat keeps the occupant in the intended position within the cockpit. Vital for stopping the harness and Hans device from becoming loose during an accident.
The B6S-44/B6S-XL-47 Screamer variants we call “Edges on” meaning the continuous rolled edge of the composite is uncut, giving a more aesthetically pleasing line to the edge of the seat and making it easier to slide in and out of the car. Therefore, if you have the space, we recommend using this model.
The B6S-40/B6S-XL-43 Screamers we call “Edges off”, have the rolled edges carefully removed specially to fit the seat between the gearbox tunnel and the door sill of a restricted width cockpit.
Tillett C1 Carbon Fibre Seat:
The Tillett C1 carbon fibre seat is specifically used for track use. This competition focused seat is a new direction for Tillett Racing Seats and is based on our popular B6 Screamer. It retains the compact dimensions of the B6 but also has a side impact head support.
The seat can be used comfortably without any lower padding, giving ultimate feel and feedback but at the same time retains great peripheral vision, which is essential in a competition seat. The ability of this seat to be used without covering and the carefully sculptured shape mean that you can achieve a lower driving position with more legroom than most of the competition. Its perfect ergonomic shape gives excellent support, whilst at the same time leaving the shoulders free to help steer the car unhindered.
The C1 is ultra rigid but under impact envelops and decelerates the occupant in a controlled and limited way to avoid injury. This safely keeps the competitor in the intended position within the cockpit. The rigidity is vital for stopping the harness and Hans device from becoming loose during an accident. Another benefit is that the uncovered version is ideal in harsh environments.
The C1 has an XL size for drivers of over 100 kg with a waist size over 36 inches
