Any FIA approved racing seat will be a better design than an OEM for racing. The reason why the Drag Paks have Dodge Viper seats, the COPO cars have Sparco seats and the Cobra Jets have Recaro seats.
It must be assumed that anyone that races, would be aware to make sure their seat belts are properly anchored and tight, and as usual, there are exceptions...
I have heard of racers that leave their seat belts loose so they can turn their heads and be able to look at he other lane, putting themselves and others at risk.
