Bercella and Formula Seven develop an innovative Formula SAE seat

Together they joined forces to develop the single-seaters using only 100% natural materials

Bercella and Formula Seven joined forces to develop an innovative seat for Formula SAE single-seaters, using only 100% natural materials.

Flax fiber, besides being an eco-friendly material, it is UVs, impacts and corrosion resistant. Moreover, as if this was not enough, Flax Fiber excellently absorbs the vibrations and isolates from electricity and heat, perfect fits for combining the seat and the firewall together into a single component, saving space and mass, both of which
are key on Formula SAE racecars. All of this for only 1.450 kg.

As for the resin, it has an epoxy or polyester base that determines the resistance of the composite. It is important to say that, along with synthetic resins, there is a huge effort to develop bio-resins to make this material 100% sustainable.
