The Mirco WRC in blue Dinamica suede with corduroy panels, 376. Fibreglass, seat only, 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.
Corduroy
Nobody expects corduroy in a bucket seat, and that is the appeal. Blue suede bolsters with corduroy centre panels make a seat for a car with some age and some character, a Seventies rally replica or a retro-themed rig, where a plain black race seat would look like it came from a catalogue. Five photographs show the two materials.
WRC, not WRC
The name is Mirco’s, not a homologation. This is a road and track seat with no FIA label. The same WRC shape in carbon is 616.
Ordering and fitting
Blue as listed, shell in seven colours to order, name embroidery available. Side mount, so side mounts and a frame for the car are separate, and it takes a four point harness. Under six feet is Mirco’s shell height guide. 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.
