It doesn’t matter how good the car is if the driver can’t get comfortable behind the wheel they’ll never perform at their best!

Vaughan Cartright has been making world class, bespoke race seat solutions for some of the biggest names in Motorsport for decades. And he looks after drivers all round the world and in all sorts of categories. Check out his work at https://realdesigngroup.com/

How Greg Murphy encouraged him to get into karts when they were at school in New Zealand together before pestering Paul Radisich for a job working on his race cars. It was the beginning of a career that would take him all over the world, to the USA, Australia to work on Supercars with Wayne Gardner Racing and eventually Formula 1.

Nowadays Vaughan uses cutting edge tech to make custom seat solutions that are tailored to drivers and that fit the increasingly challenged cockpit space while working closely with rule makers to ensure the highest level of safety.

And he’s now using those talents to help Olympians and Brad Pitt! It’ll make sense when you listen.
