Seat recommendations

"Whiplash" is caused by any dramatic movement of the neck beyond it's normal range of motion. Most commonly, it's hyperextension (backwards), like you would get by being hit in the rear. Permanent/significant neck injuries from movement in other directions is a lot less common, mostly for anatomic reasons.

The reason high back seats are mandated is to help prevent this kind of injury.

I use a Cobra Clubman seat, as supplied by Factory Five. It provides good support on the track, and is also very comfortable on a long trip.
