The Mirco GT in Dinamica suede and 3D SpaceTech, 384. Fibreglass, 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. One sold.
Two trims in one seat
Suede where you want grip and 3D SpaceTech mesh where you want air. The all-suede GT is 466.50 and the all-3D GT is 324; this is the mix at 384, and for a car that gets hot it is the better version of the suede seat, since the mesh panels do the breathing.
Ordering it
Seven trim colours, black through to yellow, or name one and Mirco will look at it. The shell can be coloured too, and your name can go on it. Seven photographs on the listing show the two materials together. Everything beyond plain black is built to order, so allow time.
The seat underneath
It is the GT, which is Mirco’s cheapest homologated bucket: open across the shoulders, nothing beside your head, quick to climb out of. Homologation is FIA 8855-1999 and the expiry is printed on the seat. The height note is about where the wings meet a tall driver’s shoulders. Take either a four or a six point harness; use the six if a HANS is going on. Side mount, which means side mounts and a frame for the car on top, so say what the car is.
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.
