Sparco QRT-C Carbon Racing Seat
Sparco's fantastic QRT-C Carbon is an all-carbon fiber version of the incredibly popular Sparco QRT-R. The QRT-C is the lightest large-size carbon fiber seat on the market. Weighing in at a mere 12 lbs (with padding and cover), the Sparco QRT-C Carbon is constructed from pre-preg aerospace-grade carbon fiber, also known as dry carbon. The Sparco QRT-C Carbon was designed specifically for a larger driver, comfortably fitting a driver with up to a 36-inch waist.
However, the Sparco QRT-C Carbon has a unique trick up its sleeve. Although it was designed to fit a larger driver, its intelligent design allows for excellent fitment into smaller cockpits. The Sparco QRT-C uses Sparco's special QRT Side Mounts (#600QRT) which allow the seat to be racked back into a very comfortable seating position.
The Sparco QRT-C Carbon is FIA approved.
