Does anyone do or use anything to protect their leather seats during a track event or DE? I just got some new seats and have a DE event tomorrow and was thinking how I could protect the leather with instructors in and out of the car all day? I have an old set of "fake" sheepskin seats covers I could throw on but would that affect me by sliding around? Any input or ideas greatly appreciated!
I don't think you're going to see any wear. On the standard DE an instructor will be in and out of the car 4-5 times. I have Euro GT3 seats that have high bolsters and are very tough to get in and out of without rubbing. I have lots of passengers in and out of the car and don't see any wear.
Didn't think I was going to get beat up so good on this one. Thanks for comments and suggestions. I was mainly concerned about anything like buttons, zippers, etc. that might mark up the leather? Sounds like I'm just over-reacting!
No you're not over reacting. I share your concerns. I value my car. Its my life savings and passion. /One of my instructors before sweat hard. Everytime he leaves my seat wet. I had towel ready for that
Racesx, are you aware they'll also make you take out your floormats?
The good news is that when you put your floormats back in after the track session, it will hide all that dirt and grease that was tracked in...
I say just go and enjoy your car, first and formost. I DE my 996 and I find much more wear on my seats from my daily wear. The bottom line is if want your original seats to remain in pristine condition perhaps you should get track seats.

Also, once your mat gets stuck under the brake pedal, you're going to soil your seat... right before you hit the wall. Sorry, but mats have to come out imho.
John (mooty) knows of what he speaks. He spends as much time IN his cars as Phil spends OUT of his! If that doesn't convince you mooty knows his stuff, nothing will.
Oh, one more thing, mooty has at least 3 of everything (except children and wives).
