The Mirco ST bucket seat in velour, 270. Fibreglass, side mount, four point harness compatible, for a 32 to 36 inch waist and a driver under six feet. Road, track and sim rigs; not FIA homologated.
Which 270 seat
The ST, GT Track and GTS are Mirco’s three plainest shells at the same 270 in velour. The GT Track has five sales and the GTS three; the ST is the quiet one. Shape is the only difference, and the six photographs on each listing are the way to compare them. The ST in carbon is 645.
Where it belongs
In a road car, a track day car or a rig; there is no FIA approval, so not in a scrutineered class. Mirco’s height guide says under six feet.
Specifying it
Velour, black or black with one of three panel colours, other cloths on request, seven shell colours, optional name embroidery. Side mount with a four point harness, so the side mounts and the car’s frame are the rest of the order. Name the car.
Will I fit in this seat?
The maker sizes this seat for drivers under 6ft in height with a 32in to 36in waist. Those are the paper numbers; how a seat actually feels to sit in and climb out of is a different question, and our showroom team sit in these seats every day, so call us with your height and waist and we will give you the honest answer.
Is this seat FIA approved?
No, this is a road and track day seat rather than a homologated competition seat. For events that require an FIA seat, look at the FIA-approved shells in the range, and ask us if you are unsure what your series needs.
What do I need to fit it to my car?
This is a side-mount seat: it hangs between side brackets, the motorsport-style stack with fine height and angle control. You will need the car-specific frame, and a sliding runner if you want fore-and-aft adjustment. Our guide on base mount versus side mount walks through the whole stack, and tell us your car and we will quote the full kit.
Does it work with harnesses and a HANS device?
The shell takes 4 point compatible. If you are planning the full seat, harness, and HANS setup, tell us the car and we will spec it end to end.
How do I know it will feel right, not just fit on paper?
Fair question, because makers publish widths and weights, never feel, and two seats with identical numbers can feel nothing alike in the car. We keep the ranges on display in the Nottingham showroom, you are welcome to come and sit in them, and if you cannot get to us, call and describe your build, as the team sit in these seats every day. Our head support measurements guide shows the kind of real-world data we collect.
