The Sparco QRT-R Gaming Seat Arrives In-Store
A Must-Have for Sim Racers & Track Day Enthusiasts
We’ve just welcomed the Sparco QRT-R Gaming Seat into our showroom for the very first time—and wow, it’s an absolute stunner in person. Seeing this seat up close reinforces everything we already knew: it looks and feels like a true motorsport seat, because it is one—minus the FIA certification. For anyone building a sim rig or a road/track car that doesn’t require FIA approval, this seat offers the perfect balance of authentic design, comfort, and value.
The QRT-R Gaming seat is the non-homologated version of Sparco’s FIA-approved QRT-R, giving sim racers and casual drivers access to a real competition-grade seat at a fraction of the price. That means you get the exact same frame, shape, and build quality that racers use on the circuit, without paying for the FIA approval process—which makes it a fantastic option for sim rigs, track toys, and performance road builds. If you don’t compete but still demand quality and immersion, this is the seat for you.
About the Sparco QRT-R Gaming Seat
The QRT-R Gaming seat is built using Sparco’s QRT (Quick Resin Tech) manufacturing method, delivering an ultra-lightweight fibreglass shell while retaining high strength and stiffness. The seat weighs just 7.1kg, giving it one of the best weight-to-strength ratios in its class—perfect for both gaming setups where rigidity matters, and lightweight car builds where every gram counts.
Here are the standout features:
- Fibreglass shell using QRT manufacturing technology
- Non-FIA approved, designed for sim racing, road use, and casual track days
- Side-mounted with 4x M8 bolt fixing points
- Five harness slots (shoulder, lap, and crotch), compatible with 3-, 4-, 5- or 6-point harnesses
- Lightweight at just 7.1kg, ideal for performance applications
- Same ergonomic shell as the FIA-approved QRT-R
This makes it an ideal seat for sim racers who want realism, and for drivers who aren’t entering competition events but still want a seat that delivers true motorsport ergonomics and support.
Dimensions & Driver Fitment Guide
To ensure the Sparco QRT-R Gaming seat works for your setup—whether that’s a simulator rig or a physical car—it’s important to check sizing.
We’re providing a detailed seat diagram below so you can accurately compare the seat’s shape with your available space and driving posture. This seat shares the exact same dimensions as the FIA-approved QRT-R:
Key Fitment Measurements:
- 560mm wide at the shoulders
- 490mm wide at the base
- 670mm tall up to the harness slots (your shoulders should ideally sit at or below this height for best fitment)

Make sure to check your sim rig’s frame width, or measure your vehicle’s cabin and mounting points before purchasing. If you’re unsure about fitment, our team is always happy to advise based on your vehicle or rig dimensions.
