This is the Sparco R500 Sky Reclining Sport Seats, Sparco Seats’s take on the seat, available now. Seat choice comes down to how the car is used. A fixed-back bucket holds you best and is what competition regulations expect, but it is harder to live with on the road. A reclining sports seat gives up some support for adjustment and everyday usability.

Choosing the right seat

Seat choice comes down to how the car is used. A fixed-back bucket holds you best and is what competition regulations expect, but it is harder to live with on the road. A reclining sports seat gives up some support for adjustment and everyday usability.

A competition seat needs a vehicle-specific fitting frame, and usually side mounts as well. Check the seat width against your car’s tunnel and sill before ordering, because a wide shell in a narrow car is a common and expensive mistake.

We have been supplying motorsport kit since 2003, so if you are unsure between two options, ask. It saves everyone the hassle of a return.

What to check before you order

Most returns come down to one of a handful of details. These are the ones that matter on this seat.

  • Approval: Road & Track. Check this against what you already run before ordering.
  • Brand: Sparco Seats. Check this against what you already run before ordering.
  • Construction: Steel frame seats. Check this against what you already run before ordering.
  • Driver Height: All heights suitable. Check this against what you already run before ordering.
  • Driver Waist Size: 36″ – 38″ Waist, 32″ – 36″ waist. Check this against what you already run before ordering.

If any of it does not match what you have, ask us before you buy. We would rather answer a question than process a return.

Buying the Sparco R500 Sky Reclining Sport Seats from SportSeats4u

Stock is shown live on this page. If you need the Sparco R500 Sky Reclining Sport Seats for a specific event date, tell us when you order and we will confirm the lead time up front.

We have been in the motorsport trade since 2003, supplying club racers, race teams and workshops across the UK and exporting worldwide. That means the advice you get on fitment comes from people who use this kit, not from a spec sheet someone copied over.

If you are a workshop, race team or retailer, get in touch about a trade account. If you are buying for yourself and you are torn between two options, call us. Five minutes on the phone usually settles it.

Delivery, returns and fitment support

UK orders go out on a tracked service and we ship worldwide. If an order is going to an event rather than a home address, put the delivery date you need in the order notes and we will work to it.

On returns, unused items in original packaging can come back to us. Safety equipment is the exception worth knowing about: once a helmet, harness or suit has been used, we cannot resell it, so check sizing and approval carefully before you commit. Made-to-order and custom-finish items are built to your spec and are not returnable, which is exactly why we would rather talk it through first.

If you want the Sparco R500 Sky Reclining Sport Seats checked against your car, your seat or the regulations you compete under, send us the details and we will confirm it. Registration number, chassis number, or the make and model of what you already run is usually enough to settle it.

Sparco R500 Sky Reclining Sport Seats questions

Will the Sparco R500 Sky Reclining Sport Seats fit my car?

The seat needs a vehicle-specific fitting frame to mount to the floor. Tell us the car and we will confirm which frame you need alongside it.

Is it FIA approved?

Check the approval listed in the specification above. FIA-approved seats carry an expiry date, so check that too if the seat is for competition.

Can I use my standard seat belt?

With a reclining seat, usually yes. With a fixed-back bucket and harness slots, a harness is the safer answer, and some competition regulations require one.

How do I know what size I need?

Measure across your hips and compare against the seat width in the specification. If you are between sizes, go up, because a seat that is too narrow gets painful quickly.

Not sure the Sparco R500 Sky Reclining Sport Seats is the right choice? Send us your car details or what you compete in and we will confirm before you order.

Off road seat size guide

Off-road seats are sized on your waist like any other bucket seat. What sets them apart is that head support is close to standard rather than optional, and that the range is split almost evenly between side mount and base mount.

Head support comes as standard hereNearly every seat in this range has an integrated headrest or includes one. Across our circuit bucket seat range it is closer to a coin flip. Rough ground moves your head about in a way a smooth circuit does not, and the seats are built accordingly.

Measure yourself sitting

1Sit on a hard, flat chairFeet flat, knees together, back straight. No cushion.
2Measure across your hipsThe widest point, side to side, sitting down.
3Measure in what you drive inOveralls and a jacket add real bulk. Take the wider seat if it is close.

Waist bands

Band Notes
28 to 32 inch Narrow. Ring us, the choice is very limited
32 to 36 inch The standard size and most of the range
36 to 38 inch A half step wider
36 to 40 inch The wide shells
All sizes suitable Generously cut, mostly the reclining ones

Around half of these suit all heights and a good number are listed as under six foot, so if you are tall, filter on height first. The tall end of this range is thin.

Fixed back or reclining

Most of these are fixed back and a smaller number recline. Fixed back is the right answer for competition and for anything where you are strapped in with a harness and staying there. Reclining suits a green laner, a trials car or anything you drive to the event, where being able to sit up and see out matters more than the last bit of lateral support.

Mounting

This range splits close to evenly between side mount and base mount, which is unusual. Our circuit bucket seats are overwhelmingly side mount and our road sport seats overwhelmingly base mount, so do not assume off-road follows either. Check the fixing type on the seat before you order any brackets.

Nearly all of these are sold as the seat only, so budget for brackets and a subframe on top. Our seat mounting and fixing points guide covers which is which.

Approval

Close to half of these carry FIA 8855-1999 and the rest are Road and Track. That is a much higher proportion of FIA seats than the road sport range, which reflects how many of these end up in competition cars. If you are running in a championship, check the approval on the product and check what your regulations require.

What to look for in a seat that gets used off-road

Drainage and trim

An open car and a wet field are hard on a seat. Vinyl and neoprene shrug off water and mud and wipe clean. Velour and suede do not, and they hold the smell of both. If the car has no roof, that decides it.

Getting in and out

High side bolsters are what stop you sliding around, and they are also what you have to climb over every time. In a car with a cage and a narrow door aperture, a slightly lower bolster is worth the small loss in support because you will be in and out of it all day.

Harness holes

Check the seat takes the harness you plan to run. Most here take a four point and a good number take a six point, and it is listed on every product. On rough ground the sub straps are what stop you sliding forwards under the lap belt, so a six point is worth having if the seat and the car allow it.

Tell us what the car doesCompetition, green laning, trials or a bit of everything, plus your seated hip measurement and whether the car has a cage. It changes the answer more than the measurement does. Call 0115 989 3488 or email Sales@GSMPerformance.co.uk.
