The seat moves like crazy, it should have been very annoying for the driver.
-
@tommy9927 You don't want the seat to move around. One of the whole purposes of a racing seat and harness is to help keep the driver upright and prevent him from moving from the g forces he experiences.
-
Sounded like gears were just a touch too short, and is that an effing lunch box in pasengers compartment?!
-
to everyone saying stuff about the seat moving, that seat is not mounted incorrectly if you look at his video of heim driving at sebring it moves that same ammount. an it is moving not because it is mounted incorectly but because they flex. Yes race seats do flex, they are under tremendous g-force loads and they do flex.
-
Some drivers prefe to mount their seats on bushings to have some flex with their car, it's all preference. Look at other videos of Leh driving, he likes what he likes. Suprises to see him using a sequential box though, I've heard he is an H pattern guy.

That seat has to move otherwise it will hurt the driver like breaking a rib or so.
That happened to Marco Werner in the Audi R15 tdi. The seats in these prototypes are part of the chassis and so can't move. Werner didn't have the correct padding and the rib cracked as his body pushed against the seat.
That movement is normal

@tommy9927
not true. these seats are bolted directly to the floor & generally don't move at all; they don't even have sliders. in addition, there is a required seat-back brace (safety mandated) that prevents the seat from falling straight backward if, for some reason, the bolts should fail.
there is clearly an issue with leh's seat here.

@insite986
The seat has sliders to accomodate up to 4 or 5 drivers in 24h races like at Daytona, the Nurburgring or Zolder where lots of amateur drivers share costs for one car.
I work at FIA-GT, Le Mans Series and Belgian GT as a photographer and have seen many GT3 RSR's in person on the grid and during pitstops. Seats are adjusted with sliders and have no back brace at all. Seat have to move a little to comfort the driver

@tommy9927
most racing series here require a seat back brace that generally attaches to the roll cage.
either way, the seat does not "have to move or it will hurt the driver" as you suggest. leh's seat in this video clearly has a problem.
