Product Information
Full details
The Sparco Evo QRT Sky seat is designed for drivers seeking a lightweight, durable, and weather-resistant seating solution, particularly for off-road, watercraft, or open-cockpit applications. Its key benefit is the highly durable and washable vinyl cover combined with Sparco's QRT technology for exceptional weight reduction and rigidity. A primary consideration is that mounting frames and adaptors are sold separately and are required for installation.

FAQs
What makes the QRT manufacturing process unique?
QRT (Quick Resin Technology) is a Sparco-developed process that creates ultra-lightweight yet highly rigid fibreglass shells, offering a significant weight reduction (up to 30%) without compromising safety or quality.
Is the vinyl cover suitable for everyday use or only specific applications?
The washable and waterproof vinyl cover makes it exceptionally suitable for off-road vehicles, watercraft, or open-cockpit cars where exposure to elements is common. It is also durable for general use.
Does the seat come with the necessary mounting brackets?
No, the Sparco Evo QRT Sky seat is not supplied with mounting frames or adaptors. These must be purchased separately and are required for installation.
What is the weight of the Sparco Evo QRT Sky seat?
The seat weighs approximately 7.5kg due to the advanced QRT manufacturing process.
Can this seat be used in street-legal vehicles?
While the seat is FIA approved for racing, its use in street-legal vehicles depends on local regulations regarding aftermarket seating. Compatibility with your vehicle's interior and mounting points is also a key consideration.
How do I clean the vinyl cover?
The vinyl cover can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean damp cloth and air drying.
Is the lumbar support adjustable?
The seat features a two-piece lumbar cushion for comfort, but this is a fixed design rather than an adjustable mechanism.
Troubleshooting
Seat feels unstable after installation
Ensure all mounting bolts are tightened securely to the correct torque specifications. Verify that the chosen mounting hardware is compatible and correctly installed.
Cleaning the vinyl leaves streaks
Use a lint-free cloth for cleaning. After washing with a damp cloth, dry the surface thoroughly with a separate dry, lint-free cloth.
Discomfort during long drives
Adjust your driving position and ensure the lumbar support is correctly positioned. Consider if additional padding or seat inserts are needed, though this may affect FIA compliance if not approved.
Difficulty finding compatible mounting hardware
Consult the Sparco catalogue or a qualified motorsport equipment supplier. Provide them with the specific seat model (Evo QRT Sky) and your vehicle details to find suitable options.

It is crucial to select the correct mounting hardware compatible with both the seat and the intended vehicle. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper fitment and safety compliance.
Compatibility: This seat is FIA 8855-1999 approved, making it suitable for various forms of motorsport.
