Europe got the same seats as the USA. It's not about being fat, its just about people of European descent being genetically built wider (pelvis, ribcage, etc).

true dat. admittedly, i do have some flab sicne i haven't played soccer or hockey in a year or so, but i've got a fairly large frame and decent bit of muscle mass, and i couldn't fit into even some US-market racing seats (momo, sparco, etc). i was down at JK Motorsports in NC, and their display seats are in a lounge-type situation (by the magazines) and i could only fit in like 2 of the 6 or 7 there
hockey player frames don't fit well in skinny-guy racing seats
same with 6-foot-tall broad-shouldered Americans sitting in seats designed for a lithe 5'6" Japanese guy...
