What Is Sparco QRT Ultra-Light Technology?
QRT stands for Quick Resin Tech, Sparco's advanced composite manufacturing technology developed to reduce racing seat weight while maintaining excellent structural performance.
Developed in Sparco's OEM Composite Laboratory in Italy, QRT technology utilizes advanced fiberglass manufacturing processes inspired by aerospace composite construction.
This technology allows Sparco to manufacture fiberglass racing seat shells with substantially less weight than many conventional fiberglass designs, approaching the performance characteristics of more expensive carbon fiber alternatives.
The Sparco ULTRA takes this weight-saving philosophy even further by eliminating traditional seat upholstery and padding.
The result is an exceptionally lightweight racing seat that delivers an outstanding balance of affordability, structural rigidity, and professional motorsport performance.
11.4-Pound Ultra-Lightweight Racing Seat
Weight reduction is one of the most effective ways to improve overall race car performance. Reducing unnecessary vehicle mass can benefit acceleration, braking, handling, and responsiveness.
At approximately 11.4 lbs, the Sparco ULTRA provides significant weight-saving potential compared with heavier upholstered competition seats.
Its fiberglass composite monocoque construction eliminates unnecessary material while preserving a rigid and supportive shell.
For drivers building lightweight track cars, time attack vehicles, or dedicated competition machines, the ULTRA provides a practical alternative to more expensive carbon fiber seats.
Minimalist Shell Design for Maximum Driver Feedback
The Sparco ULTRA Racing Seat is engineered to be used without conventional fabric upholstery or foam padding.
By removing these components, Sparco reduces overall weight and creates a more direct physical connection between the driver and the vehicle.
The rigid fiberglass shell allows drivers to experience vehicle movement and lateral loading with less cushioning between their body and the seat structure.
Its contoured seating surface provides natural support through an ergonomically designed backrest, lumbar section, and lower seat profile.
This unique approach combines lightweight construction with a focused, competition-oriented driving experience.
Low Seating Position for Better Cockpit Fitment
The Sparco ULTRA's minimalist construction can help drivers achieve a lower seating position compared with traditional padded racing seats, depending on the vehicle and mounting arrangement.
A lower seating position can offer several advantages in dedicated competition vehicles.
Additional helmet clearance beneath roll cages and roof structures
Improved driver positioning in low-roof vehicles
More flexibility when positioning the steering wheel and pedals
Reduced seating height for drivers with longer torsos
Potential for a lower driver center of gravity
The actual installed height depends on the seat brackets, mounting points, floor configuration, and driver requirements.
Designed for Narrow Racing Cockpits
The Sparco ULTRA is particularly well suited to race cars with limited interior space.
Its compact fiberglass shell helps accommodate vehicles equipped with roll cages, door bars, center tunnels, and specialized racing equipment.
Despite its narrow exterior design, the ULTRA offers an ergonomically contoured seating area intended to accommodate a range of driver builds.
This makes it an appealing option for compact sports cars, track-focused builds, and custom racing applications where conventional competition seats may create clearance problems.

OMP KS-3 Kart Racing Gloves | 2026 Model
$79.00
OMP KS-3 Kart Racing Gloves
The OMP KS-3 Kart Racing Gloves are lightweight performance gloves designed for drivers who prioritize ventilation, direct steering feedback, and unrestricted hand movement. Their breathable AirFlow upper helps reduce heat buildup, while a low-profile silicone palm provides secure steering-wheel traction without adding unnecessary bulk.
Pre-shaped fingers place the hand in a natural driving position, and externally stitched seams keep bulky thread away from sensitive areas inside the glove. Available in adult and junior sizing, the KS-3 offers a practical combination of comfort, grip, and recognizable OMP styling for kart racers at multiple experience levels.
AirFlow Fabric for Hot Track Conditions
The upper glove uses highly breathable, rice-grain-textured AirFlow fabric to promote ventilation around the hand. The open texture allows heat and moisture to escape more easily than a dense conventional fabric.
This construction is especially beneficial during summer races, indoor karting sessions, endurance events, and repeated practice runs where heat buildup can affect concentration and comfort.
Lightweight Silicone Steering-Wheel Grip
A silicone grip treatment across the palm creates dependable traction against the kart steering wheel. The low-profile application helps keep the hands securely positioned during braking, cornering, and rapid steering corrections.
Unlike a heavily padded palm, the lightweight grip surface preserves the detailed feedback needed to recognize changes in steering effort, front-tire grip, and chassis behavior.
Pre-Shaped Ergonomic Fingers
The KS-3 uses pre-shaped fingers that follow the position the hand naturally assumes while holding a kart steering wheel. This reduces the amount of effort required to close the hand and limits material bunching around the finger joints.
A more natural resting position can help reduce fatigue through long heats and makes it easier to maintain consistent steering inputs throughout a race.
External Seams and Finger Forchettes
The finger seams are positioned externally to move stitching away from the inside of the glove. This creates a smoother interior and helps prevent rubbing or concentrated pressure against the fingers.
Separate finger side panels, commonly known as forchettes, improve shaping and allow the glove to fit more naturally around each finger. Together, these features support sensitivity without sacrificing freedom of movement.
Direct Steering Feel Without Heavy Padding
The KS-3 is designed around light weight and steering sensitivity rather than substantial vibration-damping padding. Drivers receive a close connection to the wheel with minimal material between the hand and steering rim.
This makes the glove well suited to racers who value precise feedback. Drivers who experience significant hand fatigue from steering vibration may prefer a thicker model with dedicated palm cushioning.
Straight-Cut Elasticated Wrist
A straight wrist opening gives the KS-3 a clean, streamlined fit. The integrated elastic band helps keep the glove securely positioned without requiring a bulky hook-and-loop adjustment strap.
The flexible opening also allows quick entry and removal between sessions while maintaining a close fit once the glove is on.
Adult and Junior Karting Sizes
The KS-3 is available in adult and junior sizing, making it suitable for younger competitors as well as experienced racers. Drivers should select a size according to hand measurements rather than age alone, since finger length and palm width can vary significantly among junior racers.
A correct fit should fill the fingertips and palm without limiting circulation, forcing the fingers to curl, or leaving loose material against the steering wheel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the OMP KS-3 carry an FIA 8877-2022 homologation?An FIA 8877-2022 approval has not been confirmed for this listing. Drivers entering events with mandatory glove certification should inspect the label on the physical product and verify acceptance with the championship before ordering.
Is the KS-3 fire resistant for automobile racing?No fire-resistant automobile-racing approval is stated. The KS-3 is designed as a karting glove and should not replace FIA- or SFI-approved Nomex gloves when flame-resistant equipment is required.
What does the rice-grain texture do?The textured AirFlow fabric creates a lightweight, ventilated upper that promotes air movement and helps moisture escape during hot or physically demanding sessions.
Is the KS-3 a padded glove?No. It prioritizes low weight and direct steering feel rather than thick palm cushioning. Racers wanting substantial vibration absorption should consider a glove with dedicated padding or a structured grip material.
How does the KS-3 compare with the OMP KS-2R?The KS-3 is the lighter and simpler option, emphasizing airflow, silicone grip, and value. The KS-2R adds more technical articulation, including flexible bellows, mesh inserts, silicone finger protection, and a longer gauntlet-style construction.
How does it compare with the OMP KS-X?The KS-X is positioned as a more premium competition glove with advanced ergonomic construction and current FIA 8877-2022 homologation. The KS-3 is better suited to drivers prioritizing simplicity, ventilation, and a lower price point.
Are the external seams noticeable while driving?The seams sit along the outside edges of the fingers to remove stitching from the interior. When the glove fits correctly, they should improve comfort without interfering with normal steering-wheel use.
What are finger forchettes?Forchettes are the narrow fabric panels between the fingers. They give each finger more defined shaping and help improve mobility, comfort, and fit.
Are these suitable for a child beginning kart racing?Yes, provided the correct junior size is available and the glove satisfies the event’s equipment rules. Select a size from actual hand measurements rather than the driver’s age.
What should I do if my child is between two sizes?Choose the size that permits full finger movement without large gaps at the fingertips. Avoid buying excessively large gloves for future growth because loose fabric can reduce grip and steering sensitivity.
Are the KS-3 Gloves suitable for endurance karting?Their breathable construction and external seams can work well for long sessions. Drivers who experience vibration-related hand fatigue may prefer a glove with additional palm damping.
Will the silicone grip work with suede and rubber steering wheels?The silicone treatment is designed to provide traction on common kart steering-wheel surfaces. The exact feel and level of tack can vary with the wheel material, moisture, wear, and cleanliness.
Can the KS-3 be used for sim racing?Yes. Its light construction and silicone grip can work well for sim racing, although it is designed primarily for karting.
How should the OMP KS-3 Gloves be washed?Hand wash them gently in cool water with mild soap. Avoid bleach, harsh chemicals, machine drying, and direct high heat that could damage the fabric, elasticity, or silicone grip.
How can I make the silicone palm last longer?Use the gloves mainly for driving and avoid handling abrasive bodywork, tools, fasteners, or rough surfaces. Allow them to air dry completely before storing them.

OMP KS-XR KART RACING SHOE
OMP KS-XR Kart Racing Shoes
The OMP KS-XR Kart Racing Shoes combine lightweight construction, responsive pedal control, and a secure precision fit for competitive kart racing. Designed for drivers who demand comfort and control during intense indoor and outdoor sessions, the KS-XR delivers the support and sensitivity needed to confidently attack every braking zone and corner.
The upper is constructed from lightweight perforated microfiber to promote airflow without sacrificing durability. A rotor-style closure system provides quick, precise adjustment across the foot, while the flexible rear bellow allows natural ankle movement when operating the pedals.
A new-generation karting outsole provides dependable grip and direct pedal feedback. Combined with an anatomical insole and strategically reinforced areas, the OMP KS-XR offers a balanced blend of comfort, stability, and performance for developing racers and experienced karting competitors.
Precision Rotor Lacing System
The KS-XR uses a rotor-style closure inspired by OMP professional racing footwear. Turning the adjustment dial evenly tensions the closure cable, allowing the driver to create a secure and personalized fit without conventional loose laces.
The quick-adjustment design makes it easy to tighten or release the shoes between sessions while helping maintain consistent support throughout the race.
Lightweight Perforated Microfiber
The upper is constructed from lightweight microfiber with strategically positioned perforations. This breathable design promotes airflow around the foot and helps reduce heat buildup during long practice sessions, qualifying runs, and races.
Microfiber also provides the flexibility required for smooth pedal operation while maintaining the durability needed for regular karting use.
New-Generation Karting Sole
The specialized outsole is designed to provide dependable grip and responsive pedal sensitivity. Its low-profile construction helps the driver feel subtle changes in brake and throttle pressure while maintaining secure contact with the pedals.
Flexible Rear Ankle Bellow
A flexible bellow at the rear of the shoe allows the ankle to move naturally during braking and throttle operation. This helps reduce restriction while maintaining support around the heel and upper ankle.
Anatomical Comfort and Support
An anatomically shaped insole supports the natural contours of the foot and helps distribute pressure more evenly. The supportive interior construction improves comfort during extended track time without creating unnecessary bulk.
Reinforced High-Wear Areas
Strategically positioned reinforcement helps protect areas exposed to repeated contact with the kart, pedals, and chassis. The added protection improves durability while preserving the shoe’s lightweight feel.
FIA 8877-2022 Karting Homologation
The OMP KS-XR is homologated to the FIA 8877-2022 karting equipment standard. This certification makes the shoe suitable for karting competitions that require footwear meeting the current FIA karting standard.
