Sabelt · GT-PAD · Red pads
Sabelt GT-PAD FIA Sim Racing Seat (Red Pads)The same FIA-approved seat GT drivers race in, built to bolt into your rig.
The GT-PAD is not a replica of a race seat. Sabelt describes it as the exact model used in professional GT cars, now offered to sim racers. Its fibreglass shell is certified to FIA 8855-1999, and it comes with a full set of Sabelt's modular comfort pads, sized for a roomy fit that suits broader drivers.
This version pairs red pads with black accents and a black fibreglass shell, a bold race-car look that stands out on any rig. It mounts from the side, fits Sabelt's S99 EVO and X99 EVO cockpits, and works on most other sim rigs with side-mount brackets.
Prefer black? Also available in Black
Player1 Sim Gear is an Authorised Sabelt Dealer. Prices are in AUD and include GST, with warranty support handled locally from Queensland.

Why the GT-PAD
A real motorsport seat for your sim rig
The seat GT drivers use
Sabelt builds the GT-PAD for real racing. Sim racers get the same shell, padding and fabric, not a look-alike.
Extra room, same support
The generously sized fibreglass shell and roomy pad set make space for broader drivers without losing lateral hold.
Modular comfort pads
The pads kit lines the shell in separate sections, so the seat holds your hips, ribs, shoulders and head where it matters.
High-grip racing fabric
Breathable, hard-wearing upholstery that keeps you planted and stays comfortable through long endurance stints.
FIA 8855-1999 approved
Built and certified to the FIA seat standard used in motorsport, which tells you a lot about how solid the shell is.
Side-mount ready
Designed for Sabelt's S Series and X Series cockpits, and compatible with most sim rigs using side-mount seat brackets.
Feature spotlight
What makes the GT-PAD different

Fibreglass FIA shell
The shell is moulded fibreglass, certified to FIA 8855-1999, with a deep side profile and tall head supports. It is the structure that holds you in under load, and on a rig it gives a stiff, quiet base for force feedback and seat haptics.
Harness openings at the shoulders and hips let you run a 4-point belt such as the Sabelt Sim Seatbelt (Racing Red) for a more authentic, locked-in feel.
Mounting and compatibility
Will it fit my cockpit?
The GT-PAD is a side-mount seat. Sabelt designed it for its S Series and X Series cockpits and says it suits the other rigs on the market too. You will need a pair of side-mount seat brackets, and seat sliders are recommended so you can set your reach to the wheel and pedals. Neither is included.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
What is the Sabelt GT-PAD?
It is Sabelt's GT-PAD racing seat, supplied with a full modular pads kit. The fibreglass shell is certified to FIA 8855-1999, the pads are covered in high-grip racing fabric, and it side-mounts to Sabelt's S Series and X Series cockpits or to most other sim rigs with side-mount brackets.
Is this the same seat used in real motorsport?
Yes. Sabelt says the GT-PAD is not a replica or a seat inspired by racing, but the same model used in professional GT cars, now offered to sim racers through Sabelt Sim Racing.
What are the GT-PAD seat dimensions?
The shell is 744mm deep, 670mm wide and 878mm tall, with a base width of 529mm outside and 471mm inside. With the supplied pads fitted, the inside measures 395mm at the hips, 435mm across the seat cushion, 560mm at the shoulders, 366mm at the lumbar, 380mm at the head and 660mm up the backrest. The full drawing is in the Dimensions section above.
Are the black and red GT-PAD the same size?
Yes. Both use the same black fibreglass shell, the same pads kit, the same dimensions and the same 15kg shipping weight. The only difference is the pad colour: all black, or red pads with black accents. See the Black version.
Will the GT-PAD fit me?
It has a generously sized shell and a roomy pad set, so it suits broader drivers. Compare its 395mm hip width and 560mm shoulder width with a seat you already find comfortable. If you are unsure, call us on 0488 385 870 with your measurements.
What comes in the box?
The fibreglass shell and the pads kit. Seat brackets and seat sliders are not included and are sold separately.
Which seat brackets and sliders do I need?
Sabelt pairs the GT-PAD with its Seat Brackets and the SRS/SRX Seat Slider. On a non-Sabelt rig you can use side-mount brackets that match your cockpit's seat mounting. Tell us your rig and we will confirm the parts.
Which Sabelt cockpits is it compatible with?
Sabelt lists the GT-PAD for its S Series and X Series cockpits, which are the S99 EVO and the X99 EVO. Browse the full Sabelt cockpit range.
Can I fit it to a Trak Racer or another aluminium profile rig?
In most cases, yes. Sabelt says the GT-PAD suits the rigs on the market, and it mounts from the side like most bucket seats, so you need side-mount brackets that match your cockpit. Send us your rig model and we will check the bracket fit before you order. Browse our sim racing cockpits.
Does it work with the Sabelt P99 EVO Formula cockpit?
Sabelt does not list the GT-PAD for its P Series. The P99 EVO is a Formula layout designed around the SRP-1 Formula seat.
How much does the GT-PAD weigh?
Sabelt's data sheet lists 10.5kg with the pads fitted, and 8.9kg for the bare shell. Boxed, it ships at 15kg in a 64.5 x 51.5 x 120cm carton.
Can I use a harness with it?
Yes. The shell has harness openings at the shoulders and hips. For sim racing, the Sabelt Sim Seatbelt in Deep Black or Racing Red adds a 4-point belt for extra immersion.
Can I add extra cushioning?
Yes. Sabelt's foam kits are designed to suit any seat: the Sim Foam Pro Kit (Seat), the Sim Foam Pro Kit (Backrest) and the Sim Memory Kit (Lumbar).
How is the GT-PAD different from the Sabelt SRX-1 and SRS-1?
The GT-PAD is Sabelt's real motorsport seat with an FIA 8855-1999 shell and modular pads, chosen when you want the authentic race seat and extra room. The SRX-1 and SRS-1 are Sabelt's GT seats designed for sim racing. Call us if you would like help choosing.
Does the FIA approval matter for sim racing?
You do not need FIA approval to race in a simulator, but it tells you the shell is built to a motorsport safety standard, so it is strong, rigid and made to last. This listing is sold as a sim racing seat. If you plan to use it in a real car, check the seat's homologation label against your series rules first.
What warranty does it have in Australia?
Sabelt covers the GT-PAD with a 2-year warranty. As an Authorised Sabelt Dealer, Player1 Sim Gear handles warranty support locally from Queensland, and your rights under the Australian Consumer Law also apply.
Is Player1 Sim Gear an authorised Sabelt dealer?
Yes. Player1 Sim Gear is an Authorised Sabelt Dealer and stocks the Sabelt Sim Racing range, including the Sabelt cockpits, seats and mounting accessories, with local warranty support from Queensland.
