The Sparco Evo XL QRT Fibreglass Competition Motorsport Seat in Black is designed for serious circuit racing and rally drivers seeking a lightweight, rigid, and safe seating solution. Its key benefit is the significantly reduced weight (starting at 6.8kg for standard size) thanks to Sparco's QRT manufacturing, offering enhanced performance and driver control. A potential caveat is that mounting frames and adaptors are sold separately, requiring additional consideration for installation.

QRT stands for Quick Resin Technology. It's an advanced manufacturing process developed by Sparco that creates exceptionally lightweight yet highly rigid fibreglass composite shells, offering significant weight savings over traditional methods.
No, the Sparco Evo XL QRT seat is sold as the seat shell only. Mounting frames, side mounts, and vehicle-specific adaptors must be purchased separately.
While comfortable, this seat is homologated for competition use (FIA 8855-1999). Its design and features are optimized for performance driving in motorsport environments. Check local regulations regarding the use of competition seats on public roads.
The weight can vary slightly by size, but the standard size Evo QRT seat weighs approximately 6.8kg. The XL size may be slightly heavier.
Clean the fibreglass shell with a damp cloth and mild soap. For fabric areas, use a soft brush and an automotive upholstery cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
This designation indicates that the seat has passed rigorous safety testing by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) and meets specific standards for use in professional motorsport competitions.
This seat is designed to be used with a multi-point racing harness (e.g., 4, 5, or 6-point). Using a standard 3-point seatbelt may not provide adequate safety or be compliant with racing regulations.
Double-check all mounting bolts and ensure they are properly torqued according to the specifications of the mounting hardware and Sparco's recommendations. Inspect side mounts and brackets for any signs of bending or damage.
Ensure the non-slip material areas are clean and dry. Consider if the seat size is appropriate for the driver; an XL seat might be too large for some, leading to reduced effectiveness of the non-slip features. Ensure racing harnesses are used correctly.
Adjust the position of the two-piece lumbar cushion if possible. Ensure the seat is mounted at an appropriate angle for the driver's comfort and visibility. Some users may prefer aftermarket padding for highly personalized fit.
Consult Sparco's official documentation or website for recommended mounting solutions. Contact a reputable motorsport safety equipment supplier who can advise on suitable side mounts or vehicle-specific brackets.
Setup:
Installation requires careful attention to safety standards. The Sparco Evo XL QRT seat is designed to be mounted using compatible side mounts or vehicle-specific brackets (sold separately). Ensure all mounting hardware is rated for motorsport use and torqued to the manufacturer's specifications. Professional installation is highly recommended to ensure correct fitment and adherence to safety regulations.
Compatibility:
This seat is compatible with most universal side mounting brackets and Sparco's range of vehicle-specific mounting solutions. Please verify dimensions and required mounting hardware for your specific vehicle and racing class regulations before purchase. The 'XL' designation indicates a larger size, so ensure adequate clearance within your vehicle's cockpit.
Care:
Clean the fibreglass shell with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the material or finish. The fabric areas can be cleaned gently with a soft brush and upholstery cleaner. Ensure the seat is completely dry before use. Regularly inspect mounting points and hardware for any signs of wear or damage.
