Sparco 008009RNR Grid Q QRT Fiberglass Fixed Racing Seat Black FIA 8855-1999

Vehicle Fitment

• Universal Fitment - Designed for competition vehicles, track day builds, and performance street builds requiring an FIA-homologated fixed-back racing seat; fits drivers Medium to Large (up to 36 in. waist) with standard padding installed

Fitment Notes

• Fits drivers up to approximately 36 in. waist with all padding installed; removing individual side cushions can accommodate larger drivers
• All cushions can be removed entirely to facilitate the use of a custom resin seat kit for a fully molded, personalized fit
• Seat shell features side-mount threaded receptacles with 290mm lateral fastening spacing - compatible with Sparco and universal aftermarket side mount brackets; vehicle-specific mounting brackets must be sourced separately
• HANS (Head and Neck Support) device compatible - the seat profile and shoulder harness openings are designed to accommodate HANS device use
• Compatible with 5-point and 6-point multi-point harness systems; harness is not included and must be sourced separately
• Not suitable for use with standard OEM 3-point seatbelts as a primary restraint in competition - requires a multi-point harness system
• Sold individually (1x seat)

Features

• Sparco QRT (Quick Resin Technology) fiberglass shell - a patented aerospace-derived manufacturing process developed at Sparco's OEM Composite Laboratory in Italy; produces the world's lightest fiberglass competition seat shells with a 30% weight reduction compared to traditional fiberglass construction methods, without compromising structural rigidity or safety performance
• Deep side bolsters and highly supportive shoulder bolsters provide excellent lateral containment and driver hold during high-G cornering, braking, and acceleration
• Modular Velcro-attached individual padding system allows the driver to customize fit by adding, removing, or repositioning each pad independently - creates natural ventilation channels between pads for improved airflow and cooling during extended driving sessions
• Removable side cushions allow the seat to accommodate a broader range of body types - larger drivers can remove side pads to gain additional torso clearance without replacing the seat shell
• Fire-retardant, self-extinguishing black cloth cover over impact-absorbing foam padding - meets the requirements of the FIA 8855-1999 homologation standard
• 5 harness slots accommodate a wide range of driver heights and body proportions, enabling correct multi-point harness routing for drivers of varying stature
• High-back fixed bucket design provides full upper body and shoulder support - eliminates head movement under impact forces and supports HANS device integration
• Side-mount threaded receptacles at 290mm spacing provide a secure, direct mounting interface without the need for additional clamps or welded tabs
• FIA 8855-1999 homologated - approved for use in FIA-sanctioned motorsport events including rally, circuit racing, hillclimb, and similar competition categories that require FIA seat certification
• Previously known as the Grid II QRT - updated shell and padding design under the Grid Q designation

Product Description

The Sparco 008009RNR Grid Q is a fixed-back competition racing seat built on Sparco's QRT (Quick Resin Technology) fiberglass shell platform - a patented manufacturing process developed at Sparco's OEM Composite Laboratory in Turin, Italy that uses aerospace-derived resin application methods to produce a fiberglass shell that is 30% lighter than traditionally manufactured fiberglass seats without any reduction in structural rigidity or crash performance. The result is a shell that weighs just 14.3 lbs on its own, making the Grid Q one of the lightest FIA-homologated fiberglass competition seats available at its price point. The seat is covered with impact-absorbing foam and a fire-retardant, self-extinguishing black cloth outer cover, and is FIA 8855-1999 homologated for use in FIA-sanctioned competition across rally, circuit racing, hillclimb, and other disciplines that require certified seat use.

The Grid Q's defining characteristic is its modular padding system. Rather than using a single bonded foam insert, the seat uses multiple individual padding sections attached to the shell by Velcro, each of which can be removed, repositioned, or eliminated independently. This gives drivers the ability to tailor the feel of the seat to their body shape and driving style without replacing the shell, and the gaps created between pads when some are removed form natural ventilation channels along the seating surface for significantly improved airflow and cooling during extended sessions. Drivers who need additional torso clearance - up to approximately 36 in. waist - can remove the side cushions entirely, and removing all cushions allows the seat to be used with a custom molded resin kit for a fully personalized fit. The deep side bolsters and substantial shoulder bolsters provide strong lateral containment for a wide range of body types across high-demand driving conditions.

The Grid Q shell features five harness slots that support correct multi-point harness routing across a broad range of driver heights, and is HANS (Head and Neck Support) device compatible via its shoulder opening geometry and shoulder bolster design. Side-mount threaded receptacles are built directly into the fiberglass shell at 290mm lateral spacing, providing a direct interface for Sparco side mount brackets or compatible universal racing seat brackets - vehicle-specific mounting solutions must be purchased separately and are not included. A harness is also not included. The seat is sold individually and backed by Sparco's 1-year limited warranty. The 008009RNRSKY variant is the same seat in a black Sky-Vinyl water-resistant upholstery for open vehicle or high-moisture applications.
