The Mirco Flyer bucket seat in velour, 270. Fibreglass, fixed back, side mount, lateral head support, integrated headrest, no armrests, four point harness compatible, for a 32 to 36 inch waist and a driver under six feet. Road and track; not FIA homologated. Two sold.
Head support at entry money
The Flyer is the 270 Mirco with wings beside the head. If you want a seat that holds your helmet in a road or track day car and are not paying for homologation, this is where the range starts. Eight photographs on the listing show the shape.
The wings and your shoulders
Mirco note the Flyer for drivers under six feet, and on a head-support shell that matters more than usual, because the wings are exactly where a tall driver’s shoulders land. Try one if you are anywhere near it.
How it comes
Black velour, or black with a blue, grey or red panel, with other cloths on request and the shell in seven colours if you want it to match the car. Your name can be embroidered on. It is the seat alone, side mounted, so side mounts and a frame for your car complete the order, and it carries a four point harness. No FIA homologation. Tell us 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.
