Conquer any track in the OMP HTE-R racing seat
The HTE-R racing seat combines safety, comfort, and control in one well-thought-out design.
Its lightweight fibreglass shell is gel-coated for durability, while the high-profile side bolsters lock you in through the tightest corners.
The padded head restraint and adjustable lumbar support help reduce fatigue on long sessions, and breathable Airtex upholstery keeps things cool when the action heats up.
With HANS compatibility, five harness slots, and grip-enhancing fabric on key contact points, this seat is purpose-built for confident, secure racing.
OMP HTE-R racing seat features
- Comfortably supports drivers with up to 36 inches (standard) and 38 inches (XL) waists
- High-profile side bolsters keep you planted through sharp corners
- Breathable Airtex material keeps you cooler during long driving sessions
- Five harness slots give you flexibility without compromising safety
- Grip-enhancing fabric helps reduce random movements
- Lightweight fibreglass shell delivers strength without adding more weight
Secure fit for waists up to 36 inches (standard) and 38 inches (XL)
A seat that fits right makes all the difference in how you drive.
The OMP HTE-R racing seat is shaped to support waists up to 36 inches in the standard version, and up to 38 inches with the XL.
That snug fit helps maintain posture, especially under hard braking and fast cornering.
You won’t waste energy bracing yourself lap after lap.
Instead, the seat holds you where you need to be, so your focus stays on the race and not on adjusting your position.
Experience true control with full lateral support
All racers need to be locked in whenever they’re carving through corners at full tilt.
The HTE-R racing seat delivers exactly that with its high-profile side bolsters that hug your torso.
No sliding. No shifting. Just total control, even when you're throwing the car into tight bends or countering G-forces at speed.
That firm grip keeps you focused on your line, not fighting to stay upright.
Your confidence skyrockets when your body stays put and your mind stays sharp.
Keep sweating under control with the HTE-R’s Airtex upholstery
Long stints behind the wheel crank up the heat fast.
That’s why the HTE-R racing seat is wrapped in breathable Airtex material that lets air flow freely.
No more sticking to your seat mid-session or overheating during back-to-back laps.
This fabric works hard to keep you cooler, drier, and focused when it counts.
It’s performance you can feel when the pressure’s on.
Cooler temps mean clearer thinking, quicker reactions, and fewer distractions when you’re deep in the zone.
Lock in your perfect fit with five precision harness slots
The HTE-R racing seat gives you five harness slots to dial in your setup without cutting corners on security.
Whether you're fine-tuning for a HANS device or just need a layout that works with your driving style, this seat adapts.
Each slot is precisely positioned to anchor your belts exactly where they should be, holding you tight when things get wild.
You stay locked down, your gear stays in place, and your focus stays on the race.
Maximise control with the HTE-R’s non-slip fabric
Control begins with stability, especially when every tiny movement matters.
The HTE-R racing seat uses non-slip fabric that keeps your shoulders and legs locked precisely where you want them.
Forget sliding around or constantly readjusting your position mid-corner.
This material holds firm, giving you the exact feedback needed to push harder without hesitation.
With less movement, every input translates clearly into precise action.
Add realism without loading your rig with extra weight
The HTE-R racing seat features a lightweight fibreglass shell that gives you the strength and support of a real racing seat without the unnecessary bulk.
It keeps your rig manageable and solid, especially for long sessions where comfort and structure matter.
You get the feel of a true competition seat, minus the extra strain on your setup.
It’s about getting that authentic race-day sensation without compromising on weight or quality.
OMP HTE-R racing seat frequently asked questions
Is the OMP HTE-R seat comfortable for long sessions?
Absolutely. It’s designed with ergonomic padding and breathable materials so you stay supported and focused during those long sim races.
Will this seat fit my existing sim rig setup?
If your rig supports side-mounted seats, you’re good to go. The HTE-R uses a standard side-mount setup that fits most racing rigs without the need for weird adapters or custom brackets.
What makes this different from cheaper racing seats?
It's not just about price—it’s about quality, support, and feel. The HTE-R uses high-grade materials, proper lateral support, and a proven design trusted in real motorsport. You’ll feel the difference the moment you sit in it.
Is the OMP HTE-R compatible with a HANS device?
Yes, it’s fully HANS compatible with properly placed harness slots. So if you're chasing realism or training for real-world racing, it’s got you covered.
How heavy is the seat? Will it add too much weight to my rig?
Not at all. The fibreglass shell keeps it lightweight—strong enough to feel legit, but light enough not to mess with your rig’s balance or portability.
Can I remove or adjust the cushions?
Yes, the seat comes with removable leg cushions and a back pad. That gives you some room to customize the feel based on how you like to sit and how long you’re racing.
Is this seat overkill if I’m not a pro sim racer?
Not at all. You don’t need to be pro-level to enjoy pro-level gear. If you care about immersion, comfort, and quality—this seat delivers, no matter your skill level.

Why Buy From Us?
If you’ve clicked on this tab, you’re obviously looking for a reason or two on why you should shop for your gaming goodies at Gamer Gear Direct, rather than those other online stores.
And we’ll (not so) humbly say there are SEVEN reasons we think you should shop with us and not hand over your hard-earned cash at one of those big box retailers like Harvey Norman or JB Hi-Fi.
REASON #1: 100% customer satisfaction GUARANTEED (if you’re not happy then neither are we – simple as that)
We’ll bend over backwards to ensure you are 100% happy and satisfied with your order and our world-class customer service. We want you to rave about your experience with us to your friends and family.
But we know that’ll only happen if we treat every customer like you’re the most important customer in the world. And you are! Without you we wouldn’t be in this business. We’ve only got to where we are today by treating our customers to a high level of service that you’ll rarely find online.
We’ll literally bend over backwards to ensure your experience with us is one you’ll shout about to your neighbour or mates at work. See, we’re not one of those big box electronics stores with a multi-million marketing budget. Those companies treat you like a number. Because they can afford to! They’ve got money coming out of their ears.
We’re different. We’re a small Aussie owned and operated business. Every single potential customer that hits our website is precious to us (that includes you). So, again, we’ll do everything we can to make sure you’re over the moon with your Gamer Gear Direct shopping experience.
Do you think Harvey Norman can promise that kind of service?
Probably not. In fact, I’d bet my house they won’t. But look, you don’t have to take my word for it. Here’s what our customers are saying about us…
Ashley Woolnough says: ‘I want to say a huge thank you to Blake and the team at Gamer Gear Direct. The service has been absolutely impeccable from the moment I first looked at items to the moment they were delivered. I bothered Blake quite a bit, but nothing was too much trouble and he went above and beyond to help me. 5-star service’.
Luke H. had this to say: ‘Amazing, Excellent Service. I'm very impressed. Well informed staff and good quality selection of Sim Racing gear. Staff even went above and beyond to answer a query regarding whether a certain set of pedals would properly mount to a specific cockpit by testing it themselves on my behalf. Delivery is ridiculous fast and free. Less than 24 hour delivery to Sydney NSW which is impressive. Definitely my go to place for all future gear'.
And this from Brendan: ‘Hands down the best online supplier in Australia atm. Customer service is above an beyond any other Australian company. Blake is always happy to try an keep the customer as happy as possible an with the best deal. I will be back...a forever shop and first stop when hunting any sim upgrade.’
That’s not an exhaustive list, either. There are plenty more happy customer stories we could share with you. But let’s move on to reason number two…
REASON #2: Five-star customer support
We’re around to support you and help you out with your questions and queries between normal business hours (Mon to Fri, 9am to 5pm).
We understand a lot of our customers (like you) are busy individuals.
Sometimes, you’ve only got time to peruse our website when you’re sitting down on the couch, chilling out after a hard day at work (maybe with a cold beverage in hand).
If you need a hand with anything, or you’ve got a question. Just tap on the live chat widget (at the bottom right of screen), email us (support@gamergeardirect.com.au) or call on (03) 9961 0240.
REASON #3: Shop with confidence thanks to our 30 day return policy
The moment you buy anything (yes, anything!) from Gamer Gear Direct you’re automatically covered by our 30-day return policy.
Buy today and if your item is not performing as it should or is faulty just return inside those first 30 days, in 'as new' condition for a refund or exchange. Please note that our return policy does not cover 'change of mind' purchases.
On top of our 30-day return policy, you’re also covered by a manufacturers’ warranty. Every product we sell is covered by a MINIMUM 6-month warranty (most are covered by a 1 year or better warranty).
When you buy from us, you’re buying top quality, brand name products (no crap ‘grey import’ products here), that’ll do exactly what they say on the box.
You'll find more details on our return policy HERE.
REASON #4: We’re competitive on our prices. If you see a Gamer Gear Direct product cheaper online, contact us and we’ll see if we can work out a deal
That doesn’t mean we’ll always beat the competition on price. Some of the big-name stores bulk up big time on products. We’re still competitive, but may not have the margin to beat them.
That aside, our prices are easily some of the cheapest you’ll find online. Plus, when you bundle several items together, we’re more than happy to chat about a bundle discount
Hit us up and we’ll chat more about price (you can open the chat widget at the bottom right of screen and start a conversation).
REASON #5: Fast shipping Australia wide
When you’re shopping online, you want your order delivered fast, right? We understand. That’s why 99% of our orders are shipped within one to two business days from the time you order.
Your order will usually arrive at your doorstep within 3 to 5 business days from the day you ordered. Doesn’t matter whether you order a 50kg racing simulator cockpit or a mousepad, we’ll make sure you get your order in super quick time.
We use the fastest couriers in the country to make sure you get your order in record time.
You can track your order the entire time, too. As soon as your order is on the way we’ll send you an email with tracking details, so you can keep your eye on where your order is the entire time.
Of course, if you have any questions or queries about your order simply email or call us and we’ll help you in any way we can.
REASON #6: Every product from Gamer Gear Direct is covered by a manufacturer warranty
Nothing worse than buying something online and it’s faulty, right?
We feel you.
That’s exactly why every item we stock is covered by a minimum 6-month warranty.
If the product you ordered from us doesn’t work right, simply return it to us and we’ll get it fixed for you under warranty.
Or if we can’t have it fixed, we’ll provide you with a replacement item as soon as possible.
REASON #7: Safe and 100% secure checkout
Our shopping cart is fitted with SSL encryption.
What the hell does that mean, you ask?
Well, that simply means all your data is 100% secure when you shop on the Gamer Gear Direct website.
We don’t save or share any of your payment details. Nor are those precious details stored anywhere on our website.
So, there you have it. There are our 7 big reasons on why you should buy all your sim goodies from us and not the competition.
Remember, we are always happy to chat with you at any time. You can open a live chat (at bottom right of screen). Email us at support@gamergeardirect.com.au or give us a call on (03) 9961 0240.
