I was at Winding Road not too far back and they had the Turn One seats made by Oreca Racing.

They seemed like a decent quality seat, specially considering the price.

Has anyone tried one of 'em seats?

the omp and sparco are very nice options. either one you'll love. How i recommend one over the other. if you have more of an "athletic build" go with the sparco. sparco's shoulder areas are more pronounced and wider. If you more normal American sized go with the Omp. The seat features a slightly wider butt area. this helps out a person with a "tummy" to sit lower and further back.

That seems to go against what Emilio is saying and he most definitely isnt a 'typical' American build....

i am following this thread because Im also about to make a decision and looking for an option for a tall driver.

the Shoulder To hip ratio is smaller with the OMP over the Sparcos. For example, Women's build is opposite of a man's build. larger bottom narrow shoulders, as where men generally have narrow bottom and broader shoulders. Almost all of the OMP's fit women better due to the extra room in the bottom of the seat. I am unaware of your location but if you wanted to come out to sterling VA we have over 200 seats in stock if you want to try them all out.
