Sparco QRT-C Carbon Racing Seat
The Sparco QRT-C Carbon Racing Seat is the ultimate expression of lightweight racing seat technology. Built around the proven QRT-R platform, the QRT-C utilizes aerospace-grade pre-preg carbon fiber construction to create one of the lightest large-format FIA-approved racing seats available. Designed specifically for larger drivers while maintaining compact exterior dimensions, the QRT-C delivers exceptional comfort, support, and safety without compromising cockpit fitment.
Constructed using dry carbon fiber technology, the QRT-C weighs just 12.5 lb (5.7 kg) fully trimmed with upholstery and padding. Its advanced shell design accommodates drivers up to approximately a 36-inch waist while fitting into many vehicles where larger racing seats would normally be too wide. This unique balance of interior room and compact exterior dimensions makes the QRT-C a favorite among drivers building track-focused sports cars, endurance racers, and high-performance competition vehicles.
With aggressive lateral support, race-proven ergonomics, and FIA homologation, the QRT-C delivers professional-level performance for serious racers seeking maximum weight savings and driver comfort.
Ultra-Lightweight Dry Carbon Construction
The QRT-C is manufactured using aerospace-grade pre-preg carbon fiber, often referred to as dry carbon. This advanced construction method produces an exceptionally strong and rigid shell while minimizing weight. The result is a competition seat that offers outstanding structural integrity, precise driver feedback, and reduced overall vehicle weight.
For racers focused on every pound of weight reduction, the QRT-C represents one of the lightest FIA-approved large-driver racing seats available today.
Designed for Larger Drivers
Unlike many lightweight carbon fiber racing seats that prioritize compact dimensions at the expense of driver comfort, the QRT-C was engineered specifically for larger drivers. Its carefully optimized shell geometry provides increased interior room while maintaining compact external dimensions for improved installation flexibility.
The QRT-C comfortably accommodates drivers up to approximately a 36-inch waist while fitting many sports car and race car cockpits where traditional large-format seats may not fit.
