Sparco EVO L QRT Performance Racing Seat – Black | 008013RPNR
⚠️ Important before ordering. This is the Left (L) handed version — the shell is shaped for the driver’s seat in left-hand-drive vehicles. A right-hand version is available separately. Confirm the correct hand before ordering — racing seats are not interchangeable between left and right. Mounting brackets are NOT included — sold separately. Confirm your sanctioning body’s seat specification requirements before purchasing. FIA homologation carries a service life — check the manufacture date label against your series’ seat age rules.

High shoulder and rib bolsters with full head containment surround. HANS/FHR device compatible. 29 lbs shipping weight. Ships fast across Canada and the US.
Left-Handed Shell — Confirm Before Ordering
The Sparco EVO is an asymmetric racing seat — the shell geometry is shaped to the natural seating posture of the driver relative to the steering wheel, which differs between left and right seat positions. This listing is the Left (L) version, intended for the driver’s seat in left-hand-drive vehicles. A right-handed version is available on a separate listing. Ordering the wrong hand is a common and costly mistake — verify your vehicle’s driver seat position and confirm the correct version before purchasing.
FIA Homologation
The Sparco EVO L QRT Performance carries FIA homologation for competition use. Sparco’s EVO Performance line is homologated to FIA 8862-2009, the current FIA racing seat standard — accepted by series that require the newer specification and by those that still accept FIA 8855-1999. This is a key differentiator over seats homologated only to the older FIA 8855-1999 standard, and makes the EVO Performance the appropriate choice for buyers competing in series that have mandated FIA 8862-2009 compliance. Verify the specific homologation details on the FIA hologram and documentation included with the seat, and confirm acceptance with your sanctioning body. FIA seat homologation carries a service life from the manufacture date — check the label date against your series’ maximum seat age rules.
Carbon Composite Construction — Performance Shell
The EVO QRT Performance shell is constructed from a carbon fibre and fibreglass composite layup, providing a higher stiffness-to-weight ratio than a pure fibreglass (FRP) shell. Carbon composite construction reduces shell flex under lateral load, improving the structural rigidity of the seat under cornering and impact forces. This is the Performance variant of the EVO line — distinguished from the standard EVO by the carbon composite shell material and associated weight reduction. The shell is finished in exposed carbon weave or gelcoat in high-visibility areas; exposed surfaces are shiny black gelcoat on the non-carbon areas.
QRT Bracket Interface
The EVO L QRT uses Sparco’s QRT (Quick Release Technology) side mount bracket interface. QRT-compatible brackets allow precise seat position adjustment and are available from Sparco separately. Confirm bracket compatibility with your vehicle’s floor mounting provisions and roll cage geometry before ordering. Brackets are not included.
Containment and Support
The EVO L features extended shoulder and rib bolsters for lateral containment, along with a full head surround for head and helmet support in side impacts. The seat accommodates all HANS/FHR head and neck restraint devices. Multiple harness belt routing guide options support 4-, 5-, and 6-point harness configurations. Cushioning uses high-density foam for comfort and energy absorption during extended sessions.
Mounting — Brackets Sold Separately
The EVO L QRT mounts via the QRT side bracket interface. Mounting brackets are not included and must be purchased separately from Sparco. Confirm bracket part numbers for your specific vehicle and mounting requirements with Sparco’s fitment guide before ordering.
Left-handed shell only — confirm correct hand before ordering. Mounting brackets not included. FIA homologated — verify homologation details and confirm series acceptance. Check manufacture date label against series seat age rules. For closed-course motorsport use only.
