Vallelunga
Vallelunga Car Seats - Vallelunga Seats

Quote:
Very low weight of 17.5 lbs. Fits more drivers and also accommodates taller drivers due to a lowered seating position with our duralastic belt system for added comfort. We offer additional adjustable lumbar support. Seat padding is decreased as to accommodate a snugger fit. Available in configuration with Nomex fabric for the seat covers and a shiny custom colored gel coat for the back. Also available in any custom choice, plaid, leather or houndstooth. The seat pictured is made in Alcantara and Martini design.

The image for leather isn't showing up for me, is the image below the same?

For sure has a less modern look than a Recaro SPG or other more modern seat.

From what I've been reading it's best to sit in a seat prior to purchasing.

We do not have the FIA or Snell approval as the testing is too expensive ,they do not approve anymore any steel tube seats and we have just too many models.
We have made our seats conform with PCA SCCA rules and with our trips device comply to the harness rules,even on the fiberglass seats.
FYI: GTS has a Facebook page it looks like.
