The QRT-R was the first seat to feature Sparco’s patented QRT ultra-light technology. The QRT-R is the lightest “large” size fiberglass seat on the market. It is lighter than some of the competitors “medium” size seats. The QRT-R was specifically designed for a large driver and it fits a 36” waist driver comfortably.

Sizing

Large – up to a 36” waist (pants size)

What is QRT?

Designed and developed at the Sparco OEM Composite Laboratory in Italy, QRT is a patented state-of-the-art technical process, based on aerospace technologies. QRT creates an unparalleled mechanical strength to weight ratio. This innovative production method generates the lightest fiberglass composite seat shells currently on the market; in fact, it guarantees a reduction in total weight of up to 30% compared to traditional production methods. The QRT seats approach the weight of a comparable carbon fiber seat at a lower price point.
