The Mirco FX1 in black velour with dual stripes, 362. Fibreglass, fixed back, side mount, four or six point harness compatible, HANS friendly, no head support, any height, 32 to 36 inch waist. Road and track; not FIA homologated.
Pick the stripes
Two stripes down the seat in black, blue, grey, orange, red, red and blue, white or yellow, on black velour. It is the FX1 for matching a livery, and the red and blue option exists for the people who want a Martini nod. Eight photographs on the listing show several of the colours.
Not homologated, but six point
The FX1 carries no FIA approval, so it is a road and track seat. It does take a six point harness and it is HANS friendly, which makes it a track day seat that can run full belts and a head and neck restraint without the homologation you would need for racing.
The rest
Suits any height. Shell in seven colours to order, and personal name embroidery available. Side mount, so side mounts and a frame are separate. Tell us the car and the stripe colour.
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 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 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.
