Stunning Sparco Grid Q Sky Bucket Seats Pass Through Our Showroom
At GSM Performance, we take great pride in seeing high-performance motorsport seats pass through our showroom, and recently, we had the opportunity to handle a pair of Sparco Grid Q Sky FIA Motorsport Bucket Seats for a quality check before they were immediately dispatched to our customer. These seats are a true standout, offering a combination of race-ready design, FIA-approved safety, and durable construction that makes them ideal for track, rally, and off-road competition. With their aggressive wraparound shape, deep leg bolsters, and weather-resistant vinyl trim, they are built to provide exceptional support and durability, even in the toughest racing conditions.
Before sending them out for delivery, we took a moment to admire just how impressive these seats look in person. The sleek black vinyl finish, paired with reinforced anti-wear pads, ensures that the Sparco Grid Q Sky is as durable as it is stylish. Designed to keep the driver firmly in place under extreme cornering and braking forces, this seat features five harness slots, making it fully compatible with 6-point racing harnesses. With its lightweight fibreglass shell, it maintains strength and rigidity while keeping weight to a minimum—essential for competitive motorsport applications.
While this pair of Sparco Grid Q Sky seats has already found its new home, we still have another version of the Grid Q in our showroom, featuring a soft velour fabric trim. This gives our customers the opportunity to view, test, and compare both versions in person before making their purchase. If you’re considering a serious upgrade for your racing setup, the Sparco Grid Q series offers a fantastic balance of comfort, durability, and performance, making it a top choice for motorsport enthusiasts.

Sparco Grid Q on Display in Our Showroom
At GSM Performance, we always aim to stock and display the latest motorsport seats, allowing our customers to view and test them in-store before purchasing. While this pair of Grid Q Sky seats was immediately dispatched, we still have another version of the Sparco Grid Q available in a soft velour fabric trim for customers to experience in our showroom.
The velour version of the Sparco Grid Q is ready for viewing and testing, giving customers the opportunity to compare the different trim options in person. If you’re looking for a track-focused bucket seat, we highly recommend visiting our showroom to sit in the Sparco Grid Q and see how it fits your driving position.
Fabric vs. Vinyl – Which Sparco Grid Q Trim Is Right for You?
The Sparco Grid Q is available in two trim options, each suited for different motorsport applications. Choosing between the velour fabric trim and the Sky (vinyl) trim depends on how you plan to use your vehicle and the conditions it will face.
Comparing the Two Trim Options:
| Feature | Sparco Grid Q (Velour Fabric Trim) | Sparco Grid Q Sky (Vinyl Trim) |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Soft velour fabric | Water-resistant vinyl (Sky) |
| Grip & Support | Better grip on the body for stability during cornering | Smooth surface, easier to slide into and out of |
| Best For | Fast road, track days, and closed-cockpit race cars | Open-top vehicles, off-road, and rally use |
| Cleaning & Maintenance | Absorbs dirt and sweat, harder to clean | Easily wipeable, resistant to water and dust |
| Durability | Standard motorsport wear resistance | Extra anti-wear pads for longer-lasting use |
If you’re driving a track-focused car and need maximum grip and driver support, the velour fabric trim is the better choice. However, if you’re in an open-top vehicle, rally car, or off-road racer, the Sky vinyl trim is ideal due to its weather resistance and easy maintenance.
Sparco Grid Q Seat Dimensions – Slim Fit for Maximum Compatibility
The Sparco Grid Q is a compact, slim-line racing seat, designed to fit a wide range of vehicles, including those with restricted cockpit space. This makes it an excellent choice for cars like the Mazda MX-5, Toyota GT86, and other compact race cars.
A snug and precise fit in a bucket seat is essential for driver control, comfort, and safety. Ensuring the correct dimensions will help prevent excessive movement and maximize the effectiveness of your harness and restraint system.
