About Sparco’s labelling: part code 008009GNR is Sparco’s non-FIA Grid Q. It is the same seat as the FIA Grid Q (S008009RNR), with a different colour logo, and is suitable for road, track day and gaming use. Sparco label this version for gaming, so it can arrive with a “sim racing use only” sticker and a bag marked “Grid Q sim”. It is the correct seat for road and track day cars with harnesses; the only thing it is not for is FIA-accredited events, where the homologated S008009RNR is required.
The Grid Q is Sparco’s entry fibreglass bucket seat for track days and road use. SKU 008009GNR.
Side-mount, fibreglass shell, fabric trim. The fabric trim is worth noting: it breathes better than velour across a long day on circuit and is more durable in regular use. No head support on this model.
The approval is Road and Track, not FIA 8855-1999. That means the Grid Q is not valid for circuit championships requiring a homologated bucket seat. For track days where FIA approval is not required, and for road use, it is the correct seat. If you know your next step is competition that mandates FIA seat approval, the step up is to a Sparco FIA QRT variant, which carry 8855-1999 at a higher price.
HANS compatible. Six-point harness compatible. Rated for drivers with a 32-to-36-inch waist.
Side-mount fitting requires the Sparco steel side mount plates and a vehicle-specific sub-frame, both sold separately. The Grid Q is the entry point into the Sparco fibreglass bucket range stocked here. The fabric trim is its main advantage over the velour alternatives at similar pricing.
