What sets the Sparco GRID Q apart?
-
Lightweight QRT Technology Sparco’s QRT technology is a game-changer, shaving 30% off the seat’s weight compared to previous models. Despite its reduced bulk, the GRID Q maintains incredible strength, offering a strong and durable frame that won’t weigh you down. The fiberglass shell's lightweight nature gives racers that extra edge without compromising on the sturdiness needed for aggressive track sessions.
-
Customizable Comfort One of the standout features of the GRID Q is its customizable padding system. Using Velcro, the pads can be adjusted or swapped out, allowing you to create the perfect fit for your body. This versatility is rare and makes it easy to tailor the seat to different drivers or racing preferences. Whether you’re fine-tuning for comfort or performance, this seat adapts to your needs.
-
Compact Design for Mobility Designed to maximize freedom of movement, the GRID Q is slimmed down around the shoulders, allowing for better control during high-speed maneuvers. The compact profile doesn’t sacrifice support, though—it's all about keeping you agile without restricting your range of motion. This is especially helpful for those tight, technical corners where every bit of movement counts.

Sparco GRID Q Compatibility
The Sparco GRID Q is designed for flexibility and can be mounted using lateral fastenings with 290mm spacing. It’s compatible with most seat brackets and sliders, but remember that these are sold separately. The lightweight fiberglass shell with QRT technology allows it to fit comfortably into compact cockpits without sacrificing durability. However, it’s not FIA homologated, which means it won’t pass regulations for certain official racing events, limiting its use in professional competitions.
In terms of sim racing setups, the Sparco GRID Q can be integrated into most cockpits with proper seat brackets, making it a strong choice for custom sim rigs. The seat doesn’t directly interface with PC or console systems, but it pairs perfectly with top-tier racing simulators, ensuring your seating position complements your driving setup. Be sure to factor in compatibility with your cockpit’s seat slider and bracket system to ensure a seamless installation.
