Having read Robbie's article on the Rockingham Track day, it seems that many of you with leather(?) seats suffer from poor rear-end grip - basically you can't keep your arse in the seat when going around corners.
Surely the answer is just [urlw=http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0449629380]a sheet of this stuff[/urlw].
I use it all the time for;
- stopping stuff sliding around in the car boot.
- keeping the mat in place on the kitchen floor.
- keeping my arse on the bike seat when wearing slippery oversuits.
It's strong, really grippy, cheap (available in Tesco, your local £-store or eBay), and comes in a variety of colours - even yellow!

Re: Increasing rear-end grip
Driving in the buff should fix it, bare skin sticks to leather (I know when I wear shorts!) especailly when the leather has been superheated in the sun!

Re: Increasing rear-end grip
The idea of certain anatomical areas being in contact with 'superheated leather' isn't really appealing! xD
