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.

- High-profile side bolsters keep you planted through sharp corners
- Breathable Airtex material keeps you cooler during long driving sessions

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.
