Q. How can a bucket seat help me drive better?
A. Using a fixed form bucket seat helps you to reduce and remove some variables while driving which enables you to easily develop good habits and muscle memory.
Issues like seats flexing under braking pressure or unwanted lateral movement cause you to make micro-adjustments while racing. This makes it harder to develop the muscle memory you need and can even lead to developing bad racing habits as you are instinctively compensating for them.By reducing or removing these factors you’ll notice you start to perform more consistently from one lap to another. The mental and physical bandwidth you spent on making the adjustments needed instead can be attributed toward developing good habits and shaving those crucial seconds off your times.
