You will not find a concise list sadly.  The priority with such an item is crash safety, and that is what will determine what you use. Most typical composite materials can be made into race seats, including carbon, glass, aramid etc in a variety of weaves dependent on the design.

You would need to look closely at the original.  Tillet do glass and carbon composites, single and double skin etc so you need to have a good close look at what you are replicating. Obviously bear in mind you are copying a copyrighted design so you should really change your "pattern" sufficiently that it is no longer the same seat otherwise you could open yourself up to all sorts of litigation issues long before you get into  safety issues.
