The Mirco XL bucket seat in velour, 285. The wide Mirco shell in fibreglass, side mount, four point harness compatible, in 32 to 36 or 36 to 40 inch waist sizing, for drivers under six feet. Road, track and sim rigs; not FIA homologated. Eighteen sold, sixteen photographs.

The wide one that sells

Eighteen sold, which is more than all the XL editions put together. It is the plain velour XL at 285, the cheapest way to a wider shell in the Mirco range, and most people who need the width do not need the tartan or the suede. Sixteen photographs show it from every side.

Two sizes

Both the 32 to 36 and the 36 to 40 inch shells are on this listing. Say which. Under six feet is the shell height guide.

Colours

Black, or black with blue, grey or red, other trims on request. Shell in black, blue, grey, orange, red, white or yellow. Name embroidery available.

Fitting

Side mount, so side mounts and a frame for the car are separate. Four point harness. No FIA label. Tell us the car and your size.

Mirco seat size guide

Mirco make one size of each shell and size the driver by weight and height rather than by waist. The trick is picking the shell built for your build.

How Mirco size their seats

Mirco publish a maximum driver weight and height for each FIA model rather than a waist. The GT is the slim one: up to 85 kg and about 170 to 185 cm. The RS2 goes to 95 kg and 190 cm, the RTS-2 to 100 kg and 190 cm, and the Classic to 100 kg and 185 cm. The RTX-7 is the widest shell in the range at 600 mm across the shoulders.

Across the whole range the shoulder width runs from 490 mm on the Flyer to 600 mm on the GTM and RTX-7. Our waist bands put nearly every Mirco at 32 to 36 inch, with the RTS, RTS 2 and XL also listed at 36 to 40. If you are at the top of a band, take the wider shell.

The RTX-7 in numbersShoulder width 600 mm, hip bolsters 490 mm, lap belt slots 385 mm apart, base 420 x 615 mm, backrest 645 mm, overall height 920 mm, side mount holes 290 mm apart, 9 to 10 kg depending on trim.

Mirco driver limits

Mirco’s own figures for the FIA shells. They describe them as approximate, so treat a driver right on a limit as a candidate for the next shell up.

Model	Max driver weight	Max driver height	Seat weight
GT	85 kg	185 cm	8.2 kg
RS2	95 kg	190 cm	10.0 kg
RTS-2	100 kg	190 cm	8.8 kg
Classic	100 kg	185 cm	8.7 kg
RTX-7	Widest shell, 600 mm shoulders	Under and over 6 ft	9 to 10 kg

All the FIA shells are side mount with the holes 290 mm apart, five harness slots and HANS friendly.

Measure yourself first

Four numbers decide whether a seat fits. Take them in the clothes you drive in, and write them down before you compare models.

AWaistAround your natural waist, not your trouser size. Trouser sizes usually run an inch or two under the real figure, and the waist bands on our product pages use the real one.

BSeated hip widthSit on a hard chair with your feet flat and measure straight across the widest point of your hips with a rule or a straight edge, not a tape that follows the curve. This is the number that decides whether a fixed shell is tight.

CShouldersStraight across the back at the widest point. Fixed back seats hold you here, so a shell that is narrow at the shoulders is uncomfortable long before it is unsafe.

DHeight and torsoYour height, and if you are over 6 ft whether that is mostly leg or mostly body. A long body needs a taller shell with the head support set higher.

Before you order

Check the car, not only the driver. Transmission tunnels, door cards and B pillars are what stop a wide shell going in. Our seat mounting and fixing points guide covers what to measure.
Side mount and base mount shells are not interchangeable. Which one you need depends on the car and the subframe, so pick the brackets at the same time as the seat.
If you run a HANS or plan to, filter on HANS friendly. The shoulder openings are cut to clear the collar.
FIA seats carry an expiry date on the homologation label. Check what your championship accepts and how long the seat has left, particularly on discounted older stock.

Send us your measurementsWaist, seated hip width, height and the car. We have fitted a lot of Mirco seats and will tell you honestly if the one you have picked is going to be tight. Call 0115 989 3488 or email Sales@GSMPerformance.co.uk.

Waist bands and heights are our product data, checked 6 September 2026. Driver limits, weights and the RTX-7 dimensions are from Mirco’s product pages, read the same day.

Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Mirco XL Track Day Bucket Seat In-Store. 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 under 6ft in height with a 32in to 36in or 36in to 40in 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. 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.

Availability

Mirco seats are custom-made to order

The reason is the choice: over 250 colours and thousands of trim combinations, so each seat is built to the specification you pick rather than taken off a shelf.

That includes the fabric, the colours and the stitching. Lead times vary with the specification, so ask us when you order.

Built to your specification

A seat made to your own trim choice cannot be cancelled once production has started, and our special order terms apply.

Not sure what works together? Ring us. We see these seats in the showroom every day and can tell you how a combination actually looks.
