Enjoy more comfort and control with the EVO racing seat
The QRT EVO racing seat is for drivers who want comfort, control, and a proper fit.
At just 6.8kg, thanks to Sparco’s exclusive QRT tech, it’s one of the lightest fibreglass seats on the market.
It’s designed to fit tight cockpits without compromising space, and the raised harness slots mean even taller drivers stay secure.
With built-in lumbar support, non-slip fabric for grip during high G-forces, and FIA 8855-1999 approval, this seat delivers reliable performance where it counts.

Sparco QRT EVO racing seat features
- Versatile fit comfortably supports drivers with waist sizes up to 38 inches
- Ultralight QRT shell cuts weight without sacrificing strength or support
- Built-in lumbar support delivers comfort through longer races
- Raised harness slots give taller drivers a safer, better fit
- Non-slip fabric keeps you steady under hard braking and fast corners
- FIA 8855-1999 approved so you’re ready for serious competition use
Get the perfect fit with three size options that can fit you
Fitting into a race seat shouldn’t feel like a compromise.
The QRT EVO racing seat comes with 3 size options: the EVO, EVO L and EVO XL.
It offers a snug, supportive fit with the EVO handling up to 34” waists, the EVO L up to 36” waists and the EVO XL up to 38” waists.
You never have to force yourself into something that’s too tight or slide around in something too loose.
That means more control, more comfort, and fewer distractions when you’re pushing hard.
With the QRT EVO, your seat fits like it was built for you. Precision fit matters when every move counts.

Ultra-light shell design makes installation a breeze
Shedding weight without losing strength changes everything when you're behind the wheel.
The QRT EVO racing seat features an ultralight fibreglass shell built using advanced QRT technology, cutting weight by up to 30% compared to traditional methods.
At just 6.8kg, this seat keeps your rig light and your handling sharp without giving up an ounce of support or safety.
You get real support and a seat that’s built to perform.

Stay comfortable longer with built-in lumbar support
Long stints behind the wheel demand more than just grit—they demand support where it counts.
The QRT EVO racing seat comes with integrated lumbar support that cushions your lower back during high-pressure, high-duration runs.
The right support keeps your posture steady, your reactions sharp, and your mind in the race.
With the QRT EVO, you’re not fighting your seat—you’re working with it every second of the drive.

Get a safer fit with the QRT EVO’s raised harness slots
Taller drivers shouldn’t have to compromise on fit or safety.
The QRT EVO racing seat is built with raised harness slots that align better with higher shoulder positions, giving you the security and support you need without awkward strap angles.
When your harness sits right, everything else follows—your posture, your focus, your confidence behind the wheel.
The QRT EVO adapts to you so you can stay locked in and dialed into the race from start to finish.

The QRT EVO enhances your precision with non-slip fabric
Holding your line isn’t just about skill—it’s also about staying planted.
The QRT EVO racing seat features special non-slip fabric in key contact areas, so when you’re deep on the brakes or slicing through corners, your body doesn’t shift.
That means fewer corrections, more control, and sharper inputs when it matters most.
You stay connected to the car, lap after lap, without fighting to stay in place.
With the QRT EVO, your focus stays on the drive, not on bracing yourself through every turn.

The QRT EVO meets FIA standards for serious racing
When things get serious on track, you need gear that meets the mark—no exceptions.
The QRT EVO racing seat carries FIA 8855-1999 approval, meaning it’s cleared for high-level motorsport competition.
That certification is a guarantee that your seat meets strict standards for safety, strength, and reliability.
You’re not running a casual setup anymore—this is for drivers who want real performance and full confidence in their equipment.
With the QRT EVO, you’re not just race-ready—you’re fully certified to push hard every lap.

Sparco QRT EVO racing seat frequently asked questions
Is the Sparco QRT EVO seat comfortable for longer sessions?
Absolutely. It’s designed with built-in lumbar support and ergonomic shaping to keep your back and posture in check during long stints. You’ll feel locked in but not cramped, which helps reduce fatigue when it counts.
Will this seat fit my waist size?
Yes, the QRT EVO comes in three sizes, the EVO, EVO L and EVO XL, accommodating waist sizes up to 34, 36 and 38 inches. It’s not a one-size-fits-all seat. You get a proper, snug fit that keeps you secure and comfortable.
Can tall drivers use this seat without compromising safety?
Yes. The harness slots are raised to align with taller drivers’ shoulders. That means the belts stay in the correct position, improving both safety and comfort during hard driving.
Is the seat light enough to make a difference in performance?
At just 6.8kg, it’s one of the lightest fibreglass competition seats out there. That weight savings adds up—better balance, faster response, and more precise handling.
Will it fit in smaller cockpit setups?
Definitely. The EVO QRT was redesigned with slimmer shoulder bolsters so it fits tighter cockpits without sacrificing space for the driver. Ideal if you’re running a compact race car.
Can I use this seat for sanctioned racing events?
Yes, the Sparco QRT EVO is FIA 8855-1999 approved. That means it’s certified for use in high-level motorsport and meets strict safety requirements.
Does the seat keep me stable through aggressive driving?
It does. The non-slip fabric on the base and shoulders keeps you in place when braking hard or diving into corners. No more sliding or shifting mid-turn.
Is it side mount compatible?
Yes, it’s built for side mounting, which is standard for most competition setups. That gives you a lower center of gravity and better overall control.

If your tracking details don’t shed any light on where your order is, contact us on (03) 9961 0240 and we’ll help work out where your order is.
If you’ve clicked on this tab, you’re obviously looking for a reason or two on why you should shop for your gaming goodies at Gamer Gear Direct, rather than those other online stores.
And we’ll (not so) humbly say there are SEVEN reasons we think you should shop with us and not hand over your hard-earned cash at one of those big box retailers like Harvey Norman or JB Hi-Fi.
REASON #1: 100% customer satisfaction GUARANTEED (if you’re not happy then neither are we – simple as that)
We’ll bend over backwards to ensure you are 100% happy and satisfied with your order and our world-class customer service. We want you to rave about your experience with us to your friends and family.
But we know that’ll only happen if we treat every customer like you’re the most important customer in the world. And you are! Without you we wouldn’t be in this business. We’ve only got to where we are today by treating our customers to a high level of service that you’ll rarely find online.
We’ll literally bend over backwards to ensure your experience with us is one you’ll shout about to your neighbour or mates at work. See, we’re not one of those big box electronics stores with a multi-million marketing budget. Those companies treat you like a number. Because they can afford to! They’ve got money coming out of their ears.
We’re different. We’re a small Aussie owned and operated business. Every single potential customer that hits our website is precious to us (that includes you). So, again, we’ll do everything we can to make sure you’re over the moon with your Gamer Gear Direct shopping experience.
Do you think Harvey Norman can promise that kind of service?
Probably not. In fact, I’d bet my house they won’t. But look, you don’t have to take my word for it. Here’s what our customers are saying about us…
Ashley Woolnough says: ‘I want to say a huge thank you to Blake and the team at Gamer Gear Direct. The service has been absolutely impeccable from the moment I first looked at items to the moment they were delivered. I bothered Blake quite a bit, but nothing was too much trouble and he went above and beyond to help me. 5-star service’.
Luke H. had this to say: ‘Amazing, Excellent Service. I'm very impressed. Well informed staff and good quality selection of Sim Racing gear. Staff even went above and beyond to answer a query regarding whether a certain set of pedals would properly mount to a specific cockpit by testing it themselves on my behalf. Delivery is ridiculous fast and free. Less than 24 hour delivery to Sydney NSW which is impressive. Definitely my go to place for all future gear'.
And this from Brendan: ‘Hands down the best online supplier in Australia atm. Customer service is above an beyond any other Australian company. Blake is always happy to try an keep the customer as happy as possible an with the best deal. I will be back...a forever shop and first stop when hunting any sim upgrade.’
That’s not an exhaustive list, either. There are plenty more happy customer stories we could share with you. But let’s move on to reason number two…
REASON #2: Five-star customer support
We’re around to support you and help you out with your questions and queries between normal business hours (Mon to Fri, 9am to 5pm).
We understand a lot of our customers (like you) are busy individuals.
Sometimes, you’ve only got time to peruse our website when you’re sitting down on the couch, chilling out after a hard day at work (maybe with a cold beverage in hand).
If you need a hand with anything, or you’ve got a question. Just tap on the live chat widget (at the bottom right of screen), email us (support@gamergeardirect.com.au) or call on (03) 9961 0240.
REASON #3: Shop with confidence thanks to our 30 day return policy
The moment you buy anything (yes, anything!) from Gamer Gear Direct you’re automatically covered by our 30-day return policy.
Buy today and if your item is not performing as it should or is faulty just return inside those first 30 days, in 'as new' condition for a refund or exchange. Please note that our return policy does not cover 'change of mind' purchases.
On top of our 30-day return policy, you’re also covered by a manufacturers’ warranty. Every product we sell is covered by a MINIMUM 6-month warranty (most are covered by a 1 year or better warranty).
When you buy from us, you’re buying top quality, brand name products (no crap ‘grey import’ products here), that’ll do exactly what they say on the box.
You'll find more details on our return policy HERE.
REASON #4: We’re competitive on our prices. If you see a Gamer Gear Direct product cheaper online, contact us and we’ll see if we can work out a deal
That doesn’t mean we’ll always beat the competition on price. Some of the big-name stores bulk up big time on products. We’re still competitive, but may not have the margin to beat them.
That aside, our prices are easily some of the cheapest you’ll find online. Plus, when you bundle several items together, we’re more than happy to chat about a bundle discount
Hit us up and we’ll chat more about price (you can open the chat widget at the bottom right of screen and start a conversation).
REASON #5: Fast shipping Australia wide
When you’re shopping online, you want your order delivered fast, right? We understand. That’s why 99% of our orders are shipped within one to two business days from the time you order.
Your order will usually arrive at your doorstep within 3 to 5 business days from the day you ordered. Doesn’t matter whether you order a 50kg racing simulator cockpit or a mousepad, we’ll make sure you get your order in super quick time.
We use the fastest couriers in the country to make sure you get your order in record time.
You can track your order the entire time, too. As soon as your order is on the way we’ll send you an email with tracking details, so you can keep your eye on where your order is the entire time.
Of course, if you have any questions or queries about your order simply email or call us and we’ll help you in any way we can.
REASON #6: Every product from Gamer Gear Direct is covered by a manufacturer warranty
Nothing worse than buying something online and it’s faulty, right?
We feel you.
That’s exactly why every item we stock is covered by a minimum 6-month warranty.
If the product you ordered from us doesn’t work right, simply return it to us and we’ll get it fixed for you under warranty.
Or if we can’t have it fixed, we’ll provide you with a replacement item as soon as possible.
REASON #7: Safe and 100% secure checkout
Our shopping cart is fitted with SSL encryption.
What the hell does that mean, you ask?
Well, that simply means all your data is 100% secure when you shop on the Gamer Gear Direct website.
We don’t save or share any of your payment details. Nor are those precious details stored anywhere on our website.
So, there you have it. There are our 7 big reasons on why you should buy all your sim goodies from us and not the competition.
Remember, we are always happy to chat with you at any time. You can open a live chat (at bottom right of screen). Email us at support@gamergeardirect.com.au or give us a call on (03) 9961 0240.
