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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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…
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.

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).

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.
Nothing worse than buying something online and it’s faulty, right?

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.
