There are lots of threads on here about this subject and unfortunately, there is no simple solution.

How long are you going between driving sessions. They reckon it takes up to six weeks for rib injuries to recover before they are fit for karting again. I find a good measure is pressing your fist into your ribs, if they cant take that then they are not ready just yet.

Then are you a good fit in the seat, is it snug without being over tight.You might find that the seat is the wrong style for your body shape.

Do the seat bolts protrude, are they covered in some foam to protect you.

You can get Tillet rib extensions to bolt onto the front of the seat, they can help to protect you, some people swear by them.

Hope this helps.
