I like. Who says you need to be comfortable whilst racing? Serious weight savings there!

Must be paired with plenty of harness. It looks slippery.

I'll go out on a limb and say that the target buyer here more than likely has enough motor in their car to keep them firmly planted into it. Should they have use for a harness, a slippery seat will probably be the least of their concerns, lol.
