Excellent customer service, I have now a great VR headset (Dream Air)… the whole experience has been fantastic and very quick. Corey has been very helpful, customer service is brilliant and tailor made, you wont find that elsewhere. Easy to communicate and making sure everything is good throughout the process. Highly recommend these guys.

What a superb company to deal with

What a superb company to deal with. Bought a Pimax Dream Air. Best price available anywhere. Corey answered any questions I had and even went out of his way to ask if I needed any help setting up after it was delivered. This is a different level of customer service unheard of today. If you need anything SimTorque sell buy from them and support this small business.

This is the best seat Cobra makes. The Cobra Ultralite is the flagship of their motorsport range, a shell built entirely from 100% autoclave carbon fibre that weighs just 4.9kg bare and 6.1kg fully trimmed, the lightest in its class. On a motion rig that low weight matters, because every kilo the platform does not have to move is fidelity it gives back to you. It is the seat professional racing drivers run worldwide, and for a top-tier sim build it is the one to beat.

FIA vs Non-FIA: Both versions use the same autoclave carbon shell. The FIA version at £2,809 carries official homologation certification. For sim racing the Non-FIA version at £2,759 offers the same seat at a lower price.
Standard Width Only: The Ultralite is available in standard width only.
Side Mounts: Side mounts are required. Select the steel or alloy option above.
Made to Order: Lead time is 5 to 8 weeks. Free UK mainland delivery included.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the Ultralite so much more expensive than the other Cobra seats?

The Ultralite is built from 100% autoclave carbon fibre rather than GRP fibreglass. Autoclave carbon is a manufacturing process used in aerospace and Formula 1 where the carbon is cured under pressure and heat to produce an exceptionally strong and rigid structure at a fraction of the weight. The result is a shell weighing just 4.9 kg fully bare, coming in at 6.1 kg trimmed. It is a fundamentally different product from a GRP seat and the price reflects the manufacturing process and material cost.

Should I choose the FIA or Non-FIA version for sim racing?

For sim racing the Non-FIA version at £2,759 is the correct choice. It is the same autoclave carbon shell with the same construction and finish. The FIA version at £2,809 carries an official homologation certificate required only for use in sanctioned motorsport competition. The £50 difference buys you a certificate you will not use on a sim rig.

Is the Ultralite only available in standard width?

Yes. The Ultralite is available in standard width only. It is engineered for drivers up to 6ft 2in and accommodates the correct HANS geometry within those dimensions. If you need a wider fit the Evolution T or Sebring T in GT width are the recommended alternatives.

Do I need side mounts?

Yes. The Ultralite is a side-mounted seat only. Side mounts are required to fit it to your sim rig. The standard steel side mounts at £75 or alloy side mounts at £125 are both available as add-ons above and are compatible with all standard aluminium profile rigs.

Is the HANS compatibility relevant for sim racing?

Not directly. HANS compatibility confirms the head and shoulder geometry is engineered to professional motorsport standards which gives you confidence in the seat design. For sim racing you will not be using a HANS device but the headpad area and shoulder support are designed with the same precision as seats used in professional competition.

How long does delivery take?

Made to order seats are built by Cobra in Telford with a lead time of 4 to 6 weeks. Free UK mainland delivery is included once dispatched.

Can I return a made-to-order seat?

Made to order seats cannot be returned once production has started. Please confirm your colour choice and FIA preference before placing your order. Contact us if you have any questions before purchasing.

Is the Cobra Ultralite Carbon Right For You?

Not every product is right for every buyer. Here's an honest breakdown to help you decide if this is the right choice for your setup, budget, and goals.

Best For

  • Sim racers on flagship motion platforms (4DOF+) where seat weight affects motion fidelity
  • Drivers running long endurance stints who value reduced fatigue from lighter seating
  • Content creators where the carbon shell aesthetic matters on camera
  • Buyers who race real cars alongside sim and want FIA 8855-1999 race-grade in both

Consider the Cobra Sebring T Instead If

  • Your budget is closer to £729
  • You don't need carbon construction — fibreglass is FIA-approved and performs identically in sim use
  • You'd rather invest the £2,000+ difference in a better wheelbase or motion upgrade

Sizing Guide

Find Your Fit

Our racing seats are a universal fit designed to suit the majority of drivers. Here's how to check the seat works for you before you order.
01

Measure your hips

While seated, measure the width across the widest point of your hips and thighs. This is the most important measurement for seat fit.
02

Measure your shoulders

Measure the width across your shoulders. Taller and broader drivers should also note their seated height.
03

Compare to the dimensions

Check your measurements against the seat's internal dimensions listed in the specifications section on this page. A race seat is designed to be close-fitting, so allow a snug but comfortable margin rather than a loose one.

Not sure if this seat suits your build? Email your height, hip and shoulder measurements to support@simtorque.co.uk and we'll confirm fit before you order.
