The Mirco SX6 on a carbon fibre shell, in vinyl, 655. Base mount, four point harness compatible, any height, 32 to 36 inch waist. Sold for road, track and sim racing; not FIA homologated.
Base mount, which is unusual for Mirco
Most Mirco shells side mount. The SX6 fixes through its base, which changes the fitting: it goes onto a base plate or straight onto runners rather than between side mounts, and on a sim rig it bolts down to the rig’s seat platform. Worth knowing before you buy mounts.
Carbon and vinyl
The shell is bare carbon and the trim is vinyl, in black, blue, grey, orange, red, white or yellow, or a colour on request. Vinyl wipes clean, which suits a seat that gets used in a sim room and a car in turn. Name embroidery is an option.
Not a competition seat
No FIA approval, so it is not the seat for a scrutineered class. It is the seat for a road car, a track day car or a rig where the carbon is the point.
Fitting
Base mount, four point compatible. Tell us what it is going into and we will list the mounting.
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 base-mount seat: it bolts down through its base, the simpler stack for road cars. 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.
