A pair of Sparco Pro 2000 QRT competition seats. Part number 008016RNR-X2.
The Pro 2000 is the deepest bolstered seat in the Sparco QRT range. If you want to be gripped, this is the shell. Sparco size it for a medium build up to around a 34 inch waist, and the depth of the bolsters is what you are paying for: it holds you through the ribs and the hips rather than letting you work against the belts.
What it does not have is head protection. The bolsters stop at the shoulders. If you want the wings to come round your head as well, the Circuit QRT is the seat in the range that does that.
Specification
Fibreglass with QRT technology, FIA 8855-1999 homologated, fixed back, black shell. Six point harness compatible. Sparco list it for all heights.
It is one of the unusual approved seats that can be bottom mounted as well as side mounted. In a car where side mounting is awkward, or where you already have a base mount sub-frame in place, that saves you a set of side mounts and a lot of measuring.
Before you order
Seats only, so you need mounts and a vehicle specific sub-frame per seat. Tell us the car and how you want to mount them.
Ask us for the manufacture date on current stock if the seats have to cover a particular season. Showroom stock.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Sparco Pro 2000 Martini Seat Arrives In-Store, and Sparco Pro 2000 QRT And 2022 Seats Arrive. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Will I fit in this seat?
The maker sizes this seat for drivers 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 seat takes both base and side mounting, so the fitting stack depends on which route you pick for your car. 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 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.
