Choose the QRT-R for comfort, control and lightweight strength
If you’re looking for comfort, strength, and lightweight performance without compromise, then the QRT-R racing seat is for you.
Engineered with Sparco’s exclusive QRT technology, this seat weighs just 7.1kg while delivering exceptional structural integrity, rivaling the weight of carbon fibre at a more accessible price point.
It’s designed to fit larger drivers comfortably (up to a 36” waist) and still fits snug in tight cockpits.
With fire-retardant, non-slip fabric, superior ergonomics, and full FIA approval, the QRT-R balances function and form for drivers who expect more from every seat.
Sparco QRT-R racing seat features
- Designed to comfortably fit drivers with waists up to 36 inches
- QRT tech delivers unmatched fibreglass strength without breaking the bank
- Ergonomic shaping gives you better support through corners and long stints
- Fire-retardant, non-slip materials keep you locked in under pressure
- FIA 8855-1999 approval means safety and quality you can trust
- Unique shell design offers roomy comfort without compromising seat stability
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-R 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.
Upgrade your setup without overspending on carbon fibre seats
Reducing weight without sacrificing strength used to mean spending big on carbon fibre — Sparco changed that.
With QRT technology, the QRT-R racing seat delivers top-tier strength-to-weight performance using advanced fiberglass construction.
It cuts excess mass without cutting corners, giving you the rigidity and safety you need without draining your budget.
Every detail, from the resin fusion to the frame design, is engineered for serious performance.
You get pro-level specs, lighter loads, and peace of mind—all at a price that makes sense for real-world drivers.
Maintain full control with the QRT-R’s seat bolsters
Holding your line through a fast corner or grinding through a long stint takes more than skill—it takes a seat that’s built for it.
The QRT-R racing seat features precision ergonomic shaping that supports your body where it matters most.
From the snug contour around your lower back to the firm leg bolsters, everything is designed to keep you stable and focused.
Less sliding, less strain, and way more control.
You stay locked in, comfortable, and sharp no matter the pressure.
Get a secure grip thanks to fire-retardant and non-slip fabric
Heat, speed, and high-G turns don’t leave room for distractions.
The Sparco QRT-R racing seat is built with fire-retardant, non-slip materials that hold you in place when it counts.
Whether you're chasing tenths or holding position, the QRT-R keeps your body grounded and your mind locked on the drive.
Safety and stability aren't just features here—they're built into every inch of this seat.
Race confidently knowing the QRT-R meets FIA standards
Confidence behind the wheel comes from knowing your gear won’t fail when you need it most.
With FIA 8855-1999 approval, the QRT-R racing seat meets rigorous safety standards, ensuring proven quality you can trust.
It’s built to handle impacts, protect during incidents, and perform under racing's toughest conditions.
FIA certification means peace of mind and the freedom to push your limits, knowing the QRT-R is designed and tested to keep you secure lap after lap.
Enjoy spacious comfort with QRT-R’s shell design
More room doesn’t have to mean less support.
The QRT-R racing seat features a unique shell design that delivers comfort for larger drivers without giving up the tight, stable fit needed for serious racing.
It’s shaped to give you space where it matters—like around the waist and legs—while maintaining the structure and support you need to stay focused and locked in.
No wobbling of any kind. Just a confident fit that lets you settle in and stay steady, even when the track gets rough and the pace gets real.
Sparco QRT-R racing seat frequently asked questions
Will the Sparco QRT-R fit me if I’m a bigger driver?
Yes—it was specifically designed to comfortably fit drivers with up to a 36” waist. It’s one of the few seats in its class that offers that kind of room without sacrificing fitment or support. You’ll feel secure, not squeezed.
Is the QRT-R really worth it?
Absolutely. Thanks to QRT tech, you get a fibreglass seat that’s nearly as light as carbon fiber—without the hefty price tag. You’re getting pro-level performance without paying premium-level money.
How much does it weigh?
Just 7.1kg. That’s seriously lightweight for a seat of this size. It helps reduce overall weight in your build without compromising on comfort or durability.
Will this fit in my car’s cockpit?
Unless you’re in something super tight, like an early model single-seater, the QRT-R was made to fit even compact cockpits. It offers large driver comfort in a surprisingly compact footprint.
Is it approved for competitive use?
Yes, it’s FIA 8855-1999 approved, which means it’s cleared for serious racing. That includes track days, club-level events, and more—it’s not just for show.
How does it keep me in place during hard cornering?
The seat uses a fire-retardant, non-slip material on the base and shoulders. That means less sliding and more control when you’re leaning on the car through high-speed turns.
Do I need special mounts for installation?
Yes—you’ll need the Sparco QRT-R side mounts. They’re designed to give you the proper rake and positioning this seat was built for.
Is it comfortable for long stints, or just short races?
It’s absolutely built for endurance. The ergonomic shaping, lumbar support, and overall fitment mean less fatigue and more focus—even when you’re deep into a race or a full day at the track.
