The QRT Grid-Q racing seat is all about support where it counts without adding unnecessary weight.
Thanks to its ultra-light fibreglass shell made with Sparco’s QRT technology, it comes in at just 6.8kg while still meeting FIA 8855-1999 standards.
Its Velcro-attached cushions can be adjusted or removed, letting you dial in the right fit and airflow.
Side bolsters give you solid lateral support, and harness slots accommodate a wide range of setups.
It's also fully HANS compatible and designed for side mounting because one size never fits all in racing.
Fitting into a racing seat shouldn’t feel like a compromise or a squeeze.
The QRT Grid-Q racing seat gives drivers with up to a 36-inch waist the room to focus on the road, instead of fussing with their seat.
The wider shell hugs your body without cutting into it, locking you in place when the G-forces hit.
It’s not just about space—it’s about control, safety, and confidence every time you strap in.
Shaving off unnecessary weight without compromising strength is rare, but the Grid-Q racing seat does exactly that.
Thanks to its QRT fibreglass shell, this seat is up to 30% lighter than traditional composite models.
That means quicker response and less strain on your rig.
It weighs just 6.8kg, making it easier to handle during installation and friendlier to your power-to-weight ratio.
It’s engineered to stay strong and firm so you get performance without compromise.
Hard braking, sharp turns, sudden weight shifts—this is where the QRT Grid-Q racing seat proves its worth.
Deep side and shoulder bolsters hold you tight without feeling restrictive.
You stay planted through every corner, even when the G-forces start climbing.
No sliding, no second-guessing your position—just full control, every time.
It’s the kind of locked-in feel that builds trust between you and the car.
Whether you're hitting apexes or dodging traffic on track days, that secure fit gives you one less thing to think about when things get intense.
Fitting into a race seat shouldn’t feel like squeezing into a mould.
The QRT Grid-Q racing seat solves that with removable side cushions that give broader drivers the space they need.
It’s a flexible setup—pop them out for extra room or leave them in for a snugger fit.
No awkward pressure on your hips or fighting the seat to get comfortable.
You get the same lateral support without the compromise.
Finally, a seat that adapts to your body instead of forcing your body to adapt to it.
When you're pushing limits, you need gear that’s been tested to hold up.
The QRT Grid-Q racing seat carries FIA 8855-1999 approval, which means it’s passed strict standards for safety and durability.
It’s your assurance that the seat is built to perform under serious stress.
From the shell construction to harness compatibility, every part is track-proven and race-ready.
You know it’s been through the fire and cleared for action when it matters most.
Your harness setup shouldn't be limited by your seat, and with the QRT Grid-Q, it isn’t.
This seat is fully HANS-compatible and built with wide harness slots to handle a range of configurations.
Whether you’re running a standard 4-point or a more aggressive 6-point setup, it’s designed to work with your gear, not against it.
That means better fitment, better safety, and less time fiddling with hardware.
It’s all about giving you flexibility without compromising on security because every detail matters when you're locking in for a serious drive.
Yes, it’s designed to fit drivers with waists up to 36 inches. Plus, the removable side cushions give you extra flexibility—pop them out if you need a bit more room around the hips without losing side support.
Just 6.8kg. That’s thanks to the QRT fiberglass shell, which cuts weight by around 30% compared to standard seats. It’s perfect for anyone trying to improve their power-to-weight ratio without giving up safety.
Absolutely. The Sparco QRT Grid-Q is fully HANS-compatible and features wide harness slots to work with different setups. So whether you’re running a 4-, 5-, or 6-point harness, it’s ready to go.
It’s FIA 8855-1999 approved. That means it’s passed serious crash and strength tests. If you’re planning to hit the track or compete, you’re covered.
It gives you more control over fit and comfort. You can adjust the level of support, improve airflow, or just make room if you’ve got a larger frame. It’s a modular approach that adapts to how you want to drive.
It’s primarily built for track use, but that doesn’t mean it’s uncomfortable. Just know it’s a fixed-back racing seat—it’s about support and safety, not lounging. Great for dedicated track builds or weekend warriors.
Yes, the Sparco QRT Grid-Q uses side mounting points, which are standard for most racing setups. Just make sure your brackets line up with the seat’s bolt pattern and you’re good to go.
It’s lighter, more adjustable, and offers better fit flexibility thanks to the Velcro-mounted pads. The QRT process makes it stronger and lighter than older models, and the cushion design lets you tailor it to your build—not the other way around.

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.
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…

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).

What the hell does that mean, you ask?
