Balance comfort and safety with the Sparco QRT Grid-Q seat
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.

Secure fit for drivers with up to 36-inch waists
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.
Keep your setup light with the QRT Grid-Q’s composite shell
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.
Tackle corners confidently with deep side bolsters
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.
Enjoy more space with the QRT Grid-Q’s removable side cushions
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.
Get FIA-approved protection with the QRT Grid-Q racing seat
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.
The QRT Grid-Q seat pairs with HANS devices easily
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.
Sparco QRT Grid-Q racing seat frequently asked questions
Is this seat going to fit me if I’ve got a bigger build?
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.
How much does the Sparco QRT Grid-Q weigh?
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.
Can I use my HANS device with this seat?
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.
Is it FIA-approved?
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.
What’s the benefit of the removable padding?
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.
Can I use this seat for daily driving or only on track?
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.
Will it work with my side mount brackets?
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.
What makes this different from other Sparco bucket seats?
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.

Great seat for big shouldered people!
I�m 6�4� 34� waist with medium-wide shoulders and this seat is great for me. It could stand to be slightly taller, but nonetheless for the price you can�t beat sparco.
