Sparco Grid Q Sky Gaming Seat – Now In-Store and Ready to Test
We’re excited to welcome the brand-new Sparco Grid Q Sky Gaming Seat to our showroom—now on display and ready for you to view and test in person. This fresh addition to Sparco’s sim racing and track day range brings an impressive blend of professional-grade construction, refined styling, and enhanced durability, all tailored for non-FIA use. Whether you’re building a realistic home simulator rig or upgrading your fast road/track car interior, the Grid Q Sky offers a premium motorsport-inspired experience—without the full FIA price tag.
This version of the Grid Q seat stands out with its high-quality black vinyl trim, a step up in practicality over the velour found on the standard Grid Q. Vinyl not only gives the seat a more rugged, race-ready appearance but also makes it significantly easier to clean and maintain, especially in high-traffic setups like sim rigs or dual-use vehicles. As the latest evolution in Sparco’s racing seat lineup, the Grid Q Sky is built on the same QRT fibreglass shell as its FIA-homologated sibling, giving you a lightweight, supportive structure that’s perfect for daily use, gaming, and occasional track days. If you’re after a serious seat that blends durability, support, and style, the Grid Q Sky is worth a closer look.
Introducing the Sparco Grid Q Sky Gaming Seat
The Sparco Grid Q Sky is a fibreglass fixed-back bucket seat, crafted for serious gaming and performance driving without requiring full motorsport approval. This version features a vinyl trim—a departure from the standard velour finish—making it harder-wearing, easier to clean, and more durable for long-term use in simulators or daily-driven performance builds.
Key Features:
- High-quality vinyl outer trim – durable and wipe-clean for hassle-free maintenance
- Built using QRT (Quick Resin Tech) fibreglass construction – lightweight and strong
- Modular padding inserts for tailored driver comfort and fit
- Side-mounting configuration using 4x M8 bolt pattern
- Ideal for sim rigs, track cars, and road builds
- Not FIA-approved – but shares its shape and structure with the full Grid Q competition seat
This is the perfect solution for sim racers looking to add realism and support to their setup, without paying for homologation you don’t need.

Dimensions – Will the Sparco Grid Q Sky Fit You?
One of the most important considerations when choosing a bucket seat is fitment, both for you as a driver and your car or simulator rig. Thanks to its compact and ergonomic design, the Grid Q Sky fits a wide range of builds without sacrificing driver support.
Key Measurements:
- Height: 870mm
- Shoulder Width: 595mm
- Base Width: 485mm
- Fixing Width (Front/Rear): 420mm
- Side Mount Bolt Pattern: 4x M8, 290mm apart
This seat is suited to drivers who want a snug fit with a more upright backrest and raised leg bolstering. It’s a fantastic option for sim racers needing cockpit immersion or track-day drivers using narrower cabins or roll cages.
