Reinforced ergonomic seat (10) for racing vehicles, particularly for karts, adapted to house a driver in such a way as to increase the safety and the drive comfort, and particularly to absorb the forces generated during the guide in the phases of acceleration, of deceleration, and during the curves and for limiting the wear and the possibility of breaking of the same seat due to the mechanical stresses in to the fixing points to the frame of the vehicle and due to the impacts with the ground, said seat (10) being made with a shaped shell by a plurality of layers of different materials overlapped to each other, constituted by at least two lower layers of fiberglass, by a plurality of intermediate reinforcing elements (31) overlapped to said first lower layers, and each constituted by a layer of reinforcing fibers, preferably synthetic aramid fibers and/or carbon fibers, and by at least two upper layers overlapped to said intermediate reinforcing layers (31) and constituted by fiberglass, said seat (10) comprising a seatback (11) joined to a seat (12), both closed laterally by two vertical side flanks (18, 19), said seatback (11) being inclined in the rear part from the bottom to the top with a concave curvature, and being joined at its lower part to the zone of the seat (12), comprising a first lower flat part (13) and a second front part (14) which is extended in front of said first flat part (13) with an inclination directed upward, said second front part (14) being joined with two horizontal side projected portions (17), joined to each other, for ensuring to the driver a correct driving position and the support of the legs of the same one, said seatback (11), said seat (12) and two side vertical flanks (18, 19) being shaped for containing and protecting the body and the thighs of the driver and for ensuring a side flexion and torsion of the so built seat (10), during the entire distance covered by the kart onto which it is assembled.
