Sparco’s top reclining sport seat. Part number 009012NR. Road and track approved.
Steel frame, cloth trim. The bolsters on the GT are more aggressively shaped than the R333 below it in the range, giving better lateral support at the hip and shoulder for committed track day use while still reclining for road driving. Base mount with the standard 345mm x 271mm bolt pattern, compatible with the sub-frames and runners that fit the Sparco reclining range.
4-point harness compatible. Works with a standard diagonal seatbelt as well.
Correct for drivers under 6ft and a 32 to 36 inch waist. The GT’s bolster profile is more pronounced than the R100 and R333, so the comfortable fit within that 32-36 inch window is tighter. If you are at the top of that measurement, it is worth confirming the bolster width suits you before ordering.
Where it sits: the R100 (00961NR) is the entry reclining seat with slim bolsters for maximum cockpit compatibility. The R333 (009011) adds deeper bolsters and a faster dual recline lever for more track-focused use. The GT takes that further in bolster depth and uses cloth trim, which is more breathable than vinyl under a race suit. If you are using the car on track regularly and want a reclining seat rather than a fixed bucket, the GT is the sensible top of that option.
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.
What do I need to fit it to my car?
You need the car-specific frame for your vehicle, plus a sliding runner for fore-and-aft adjustment. Tell us your car and we will quote the complete fitting kit in one go. Our sliding runner guide covers the adjustment side.
Does it recline like a normal seat, and what about armrests?
Yes, the backrest reclines, which is the whole point of a sport recliner over a fixed bucket: support in the corners, comfort on the motorway, and access to rear seats. Armrests: not fitted on this model. Our recliner lineup comparison shows how the ranges stack up.
I am a bigger driver. Will it work for me?
Possibly, and it depends on the exact shell rather than the brand. We wrote a straight-talking guide on sport recliners for larger drivers from real showroom fittings, and if you send us your waist and height we will tell you honestly which recliners work at your size.
Does this seat have lumbar support?
Yes, it comes with a built-in pump-up lumbar support as standard.
