The Mirco GT Diamond Yellow Edition, 444. A yellow fibreglass shell with black diamond-stitched velour, fixed back, side mount, FIA 8855-1999, four or six point harness compatible, HANS friendly, no head support, for a 32 to 36 inch waist and a driver under six feet.
Yellow shell as standard
Most coloured shells in the Mirco range are a made-to-order option. On this edition the yellow shell is the listing, paired with black velour and diamond stitching, which is what takes it from the 317 of a plain velour GT to 444. If the car is yellow, or the interior wants one loud thing in it, this is the one.
Name embroidery
Personal name embroidery is available. Say what you want when you order, since the seat is trimmed to the order.
The GT
Mirco’s entry homologated bucket. No lateral head support, open at the shoulders, quick to get in and out of.
Harnesses
Four or six point, HANS friendly. A head and neck restraint wants the six point.
FIA and fitting
FIA 8855-1999, with the expiry on the label. Under six feet refers to shell height. Side mount, so mounts and a frame are separate. 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 it FIA approved, and for how long?
Yes, it carries FIA 8855-1999 homologation. Every FIA seat has a not-valid-after year printed on its homologation label, and that label date is what a scrutineer checks, so look at the label on the seat you receive and check it against your championship regulations. Buying new means you get the freshest label the maker currently produces.
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 and 6 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.
