The Sabelt GT-X CHP sits at the absolute top end of modern motorsport seating. Designed and manufactured in Italy by Sabelt, the GT-X CHP is a genuine carbon fibre competition seat developed for elite GT racing applications and is the exact same seat platform used in Ferrari Challenge race cars.

This is not a simulator-inspired replica or “GT style” seat — it is a true professional motorsport component engineered for some of the most demanding racing environments in the world. Featuring a full carbon fibre shell, aggressive lateral support and FIA-approved construction, the GT-X CHP delivers an unmatched combination of safety, rigidity, weight reduction and driver feel. 

Manufactured by the same people, in the same factory, using the same materials and processes as the seats supplied to Ferrari race programs, the GT-X CHP represents the pinnacle of Sabelt’s GT seat technology. The lightweight carbon shell, high-density foam padding and fire-resistant materials are all designed to provide exceptional support and comfort during extreme driving conditions.

While originally developed for professional circuit racing, the GT-X CHP also makes an incredible centrepiece for ultra-premium simulator builds. Realistically, this seat is complete overkill for most sim rigs — but for those building a true dream setup and wanting the closest possible connection to real-world GT motorsport, there are very few seats on the market that compare.

The GT-X CHP is FIA approved and designed for use with professional motorsport harnesses and side-mount systems. Unlike generic sim racing seats, every aspect of the GT-X CHP exists for genuine performance and safety purposes.

FAQs About this product

Why is it so expensive?

There are a couple of factors here. It is designed and manufactured in Italy, it is designed and manufactured to the highest motorsport safety regulations, its made out of carbon fibre and will be shipped to your door from across the world by air.

Can i get it any cheaper?

Yes, there are two options to get it cheaper. One will be the discount in the description, the second is if we put it on a boat when we make a substanital order from Sabelt. Of course that would take a lot longer between time at sea and waiting until we are making a big order. Feel free to contact us if you are not in a hurry.

Is this overkill for a racing simulator?

Yes, probably. If you need a seat for your simulator engineered to this standard of safety, i would be a little worried. This definitely isn't for everyone but could be an amazing feature on a very special simulator, especially if you want to make a Ferrari Challenge rig

Why does it take so long?

These are made to order in Italy. Shipping can take ages too.

Is this the same as the Ferrari Challenge seat?

Yep

Is it comfortable?

Yes, very

What is it made out of?

Carbon Fibre

Can i put it in my race car?

Yes, you can. Even better buy two, one for your sim and one for your car. We'll even cut you a deal.
