Sparco EVO Carbon Fiber Racing Seats
2028 Expiry
As Sparco's most well known competition seat, it was a no-brainer to provide the refreshed Evo with Sparco's QRT Ultra-Light Technology. Not content to leave well enough alone, Sparco went a step further by improving the overall fit and feel of the Sparco Evo Carbon Fiber. Starting with the shoulder bolsters, Sparco trimmed down the width to help fitment into smaller cars without sacrificing support. Sparco then lowered the side bolsters just enough to improve ingress/egress into/out of the car. Finally, the shoulder belt guides have been raised for improved harness fit in all drivers. With small sports cars in mind (the Sparco Evo Carbon Fiber fits perfectly in a Miata!), the Sparco Evo Carbon Fiber is sure be a mainstay at the track!
The EVO Carbon is the all-carbon fiber version of the EVO QRT. It is constructed with “Pre-Preg” aerospace grade carbon fiber, also known as Dry Carbon. EVO Carbon is one of the lightest carbon fiber seats on the market. It weighs less than 10lbs (shell only) and 12lbs (with padding and cover). The EVO Carbon is has excellent fitment into smaller cockpits. The EVO series of seats feature the most back angle rake of all Sparco seats for a very comfortable driving position. It also has high grip material in strategic places such as the shoulder bolsters and seat bottom to aid in lateral support. The EVO Carbon is FIA 8859-1999 approved.

Ferodo DS3.12 Brake Compound Details
The DS3.12 is the latest evolution in Ferodo's incredible DS line. Sports cars today have more of everything: more horsepower, more sophisticated aero, higher curb weights, and stickier tires. These attributes place serious demands on a vehicle's brake system. The Ferodo DS3.12 is the modern pad compound designed from the start to explicitly handle those demands.
The Ferodo DS3.12 is a top-tier endurance racing brake pad compound built for maximum fade resistance, high friction, and extremely consistent performance at elevated temperatures. If you need a Ferodo track brake pad for aggressive braking, long sessions, and serious motorsport use, DS3.12 is one of the strongest options in the lineup.
The DS3.12 compound provides strong initial bite, a highly stable torque curve, and dependable braking performance in demanding track conditions. It is ideal for experienced drivers, endurance racing, and high-grip applications where repeatable stopping power matters most.
Maximum fade resistance in the Ferodo range
High friction and strong initial bite
Very consistent braking response at track temperatures
Excellent durability in endurance racing use
Best for: advanced track-day drivers and racers who want a high-performance race brake pad with elite heat capacity and confidence-inspiring consistency.
Note: DS3.12 is a full race compound and may produce increased dust, disc wear, and reduced cold performance compared with street-oriented pads.
Ferodo DS1.11 Brake Compound Details
The DS1.11 has a lower mu than the DS3.12 at all temperatures and can be characterized as a moderate mu pad vs. other endurance racing compounds. They require more pedal force than the DS3.12, and they have a slightly declining torque curve as temperatures rise. As they get hotter and you dive deeper into a turn, you may feel like you need to push a little harder on the brake pedal to elicit the same response (which is a feel many drivers actually prefer). Some drivers feel that the DS1.11 is more controllable on street tires than DS3.12 since ABS cannot be activated as easily. It will last a fairly long time vs. many other pad compounds on the market but does not last quite as long as the DS3.12. They are very gentle on discs at track temperatures when a proper pad transfer layer is maintained. The DS1.11 also has an outstanding max temp and fade resistance, just not quite as high as 3.12. We're not aware of anyone who has faded them, and most people differentiate between the DS1.11 and DS3.12 based on feel.
The Ferodo DS1.11 is a proven endurance racing brake pad compound designed for drivers who need outstanding fade resistance, long pad life, and precise control under repeated high-temperature braking. For track cars and serious HPDE builds, DS1.11 is a trusted Ferodo race brake pad with a strong reputation for consistency.
This DS1.11 features stable braking performance, excellent modulation, and durability in demanding track conditions. Compared with more street-focused compounds, DS1.11 is better suited to aggressive lapping, endurance sessions, and drivers who value a progressive pedal feel.
Exceptional fade resistance for track use
Long wear characteristics in endurance-style driving
Progressive, controllable pedal feel
Excellent choice for HPDE and racing applications
Best for: drivers looking for a track brake pad with durability, modulation, and high-temperature stability for repeated hard use.
Note: DS1.11 is a race compound and is not ideal for customers seeking low noise, low dust, or refined street manners.
Ferodo DSUNO Brake Compound Details
For our customers who enjoy the performance of the DS1.11, but just want a little more bite, we recommend the DSUNO. It doesn't wear quite as long as the DS1.11, but it does offer a higher overall mu once it reaches track temperatures.
Ferodo DS2500 Compound Details
Although we always recommend using a dedicated race pad for the track, the DS2500 is one of the best hybrid street/track pads on the market. It features the moderately high bite and solid fade resistance of a track pad, with the relatively low dust and noise levels of a street pad. When used as a street pad, it can produce some squeal on certain vehicle platforms. If you drive aggressively on the street, do some canyon runs, autocross, and maybe some light track duty on street tires, the DS2500 is tough to beat.
The Ferodo DS2500 is one of the most popular performance brake pad compounds for drivers who want strong braking on the street and dependable performance at the track. If you are looking for a street and track brake pad with excellent cold bite, low noise, and impressive fade resistance, the DS2500 is a proven choice.
The DS2500 delivers confident pedal feel, consistent stopping power, and better high-temperature performance than typical street pads. It is an excellent option for spirited driving, autocross, HPDE, and dual-purpose performance cars.
Strong cold bite for street use
Low noise when properly bedded
Excellent fade resistance for a dual-purpose pad
Great match for performance street tires
Best for: drivers who want a versatile Ferodo brake pad for daily driving, canyon runs, and light to moderate track use without giving up refinement.
Note: DS2500 is a race-derived compound and may produce more dust than an ordinary OEM street pad.
Ferodo DS3000 Brake Compound Details
The predecessor to DS1.11, DS3000 offers high initial bite with excellent feel and release. Popular among rally teams, DS3000 has a relatively low cold temperature threshold while still offering high temp stability for tarmac. DS3000 is very easy on discs at the expense of pad wear.
Ferodo FRP3018 Comparison Chart
Out of all the pad compounds we've ever tested, from all manufacturers, the Ferodo DS3.12 shows the flattest torque curve across the broadest temperature range. That means on every turn, on every track you drive, on every lap, your brake pedal is going to feel almost exactly the same, providing tremendous consistency and repeatability. The DS3.12 has a higher mu (µ) than Ferodo's other compounds, so not as much pedal pressure is required to initiate the desired response. It is also un-fadable, showing no drop in performance at any temperature your brakes will ever see.
Ferodo FRP3018 Coefficient of Friction (Mu) Comparison Chart
In dyno testing, the Ferodo DS3.12 has shown superior wear rates to the other Ferodo compounds, while remaining kind to brake rotors. We believe the Ferodo DS3.12 will become the gold standard by which other race compounds will be judged.

$309.00
Sparco K-Prime Kart Racing Shoes
The Sparco K-Prime Kart Racing Shoes are premium karting boots engineered for drivers who demand precise pedal control, lightweight comfort, and dependable protection. Developed with input from professional drivers, the K-Prime combines a smooth microfiber upper, an ultra-light rubber sole, and a supportive high-top design for competitive indoor and outdoor kart racing.
The K-Prime was the first Sparco kart boot developed to meet the FIA 8877-2022 karting standard, which introduces increased protection requirements for modern karting footwear. Its advanced construction provides the mobility, grip, and durability needed by professional racers, club competitors, and developing drivers.
A flexible rear ankle bellow supports the ankle while allowing unrestricted movement during braking and throttle operation. The shock-absorbing footbed helps isolate vibration from the kart chassis, reducing fatigue during long practice sessions, qualifying runs, and races.
FIA 8877-2022 Karting Approval
The Sparco K-Prime is homologated to the FIA 8877-2022 karting equipment standard. This certification makes it suitable for karting competitions that require footwear meeting the latest FIA protection requirements.
Smooth Microfiber Upper
The upper is constructed from smooth microfiber material selected for its balance of flexibility, durability, and lightweight performance. The material conforms comfortably around the foot while maintaining the support required for precise pedal operation.
Breathable Karting Construction
Strategically positioned ventilation areas help circulate air around the foot and reduce heat buildup. The breathable construction improves comfort during warm-weather races, indoor karting events, and extended track sessions.
Elasticated Rear Ankle Bellow
An elasticated bellow at the rear of the shoe allows the ankle to move naturally while maintaining support around the heel. This flexible design reduces restriction during braking, acceleration, and rapid transitions between the pedals.
Shock-Absorbing Footbed
The internal footbed helps absorb vibration transmitted through the pedals and kart chassis. Reducing shock and vibration can help limit foot fatigue and improve driver comfort over longer sessions.
Ultra-Light Karting Sole
The K-Prime uses an ultra-light rubber outsole designed specifically for kart racing. Different grip textures are positioned across the sole to provide an effective balance of pedal traction, flexibility, and sensitivity.
Responsive Pedal Feel
The low-profile outsole allows the driver to feel subtle changes in brake and throttle pressure. This responsive construction supports smooth pedal modulation and greater confidence when approaching braking zones and corner exits.
Single-Strap Closure System
A wide single-strap closure provides a secure fit around the upper foot and ankle. The simple closure design allows quick entry and removal while keeping the shoe firmly positioned during demanding driving conditions.
Abrasion-Resistant Toe and Heel Protection
Reinforced protection around the toe and heel improves resistance to wear from contact with pedals, the kart chassis, and paddock surfaces. These durable areas help extend the usable life of the shoe without adding unnecessary weight.
Modern High-Performance Design
The K-Prime combines technical materials with contemporary Sparco styling. Its streamlined profile and performance-oriented construction coordinate with modern kart racing suits while providing the control expected from Sparco’s premium karting footwear.
