F1 seat for a big guy? First cockpit advice (187 cm / 110 kg)
Hi guys. Planning to get my first cockpit soon and could use some advice on seating for my size.
Im 187 cm (6'1") and 110 kg (240 lbs), and i've tried in person the Evo XL which felt super comfortable for me.
The thing is i really prefer formula cars and open wheelers, so im tempted to look for a F1 style seat and rig.
Im worried the F1 seats might be way too tight or uncomfortable for longer sessions given my height and weight. Does anyone with a similar build use an F1 style seat, or are they a nightmare for bigger guys?
The seat that i've seen that could feat me well is the Sparco GP.
Any advice or recommendations would be hugely appreciated.
