Build journal: product series
A uniquely modern bucket.

The Podium FIA was an audacious bucket seat development, even for Recaro.

It aimed at created a unique seat for Clubsport enthusiasts: combining homologation for the track and the street.

It was no small feat, but the upholstery options remain limited due to the competition requirements.

In this Series, I will document my unboxing, and our blueprint to develop a new style as part of our Bespoke Recaro Seat Program.

Cheers,
- Matt
