Featured CustomerFounded in 1972 by Piero and Giorgio Marsiaj, Sabelt became a synonym for safety at 360 degrees both for series car and for the variegated world of racing; Sabelt is truly a leader in the research, planning, development and production of seat belts, achieving top level thanks to years of experience built in competitions on roads and tracks all over the world.
Sabelt’s technological skills have been entrusted and keeps being entrusted by top F1 and Rally teams with guaranteeing the safety which is both necessary and fundamental for drivers to achieve their objectives.
Over the years Sabelt has expanded its presence in other categories such as A1 GP, the FIA GT and WTCC championships, and the NASCAR challenge, the most spectacular race on USA tracks, in addition to kart competitions and a lot of monobrand trophies, first and foremost that of Ferrari.
Sabelt’s name has always been linked to the racing world, in a matching that dates back to the mid 70s, when Lancia and Sabelt’s happy story, rich in international success events, began.
Sabelt’s name appeared first on the sides and within the cockpit of Lancia Fulvia and Stratos, then also on the other rally cars belonging to the Turinese group: Fiat 125, Fiat 124, Fiat 131. That was the beginning of an epic story, and as years went by, other car manufacturers wanted to be offered an additional “guarantee” with Sabelt’s five point harnesses.
1989 marked another historic step: “the reds”, Ferrari open wheelers as they are known among lovers, were matched with Sabelt’s belts: a combination wanted by Cesare Fiorio expressedly for the purpose of strengthening the “Made in Italy” style of which Ferrari has always been a perfect expression.
To date, Sabelt can proudly display 21 world titles which are the fruits of the well thought out choices and of the vision of the racing sector managers. Who, in fact, just a few years ago would have been brave enough to bet on Citroen and on the then virtually unknown Sebastien Loeb, that is the young French driver who has won three rally world championship titles while making the French car manufacturer win two?
The story goes on next year will see Sabelt once more on roads and tracks all over the world.
