Sparco Martini bucket seats

Bucket seats are essential for sports cars. Subject to strict safety standards, they must be adapted to your morphology. Indeed, bucket seats differ from conventional car seats on several points. In particular, they are shaped low. In addition, the shape of the seat protects the driver by preventing him from moving in the event of an accident or when cornering.

The prestigious brand Sparco, a major supplier in the world of motorsport, offers a wide range of seats in the colours of Martini Racing. In its catalogue, you will find mainly :

• FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile) approved buckets,
• unapproved buckets.

If you are a vintage rally car driver and you participate in car races, the best thing to do is to choose the FIA approved SparcoMartinibucket. Your safety and comfort depend on it. In the category of FIA approved buckets, our shop offers you :

• the PRO 2000 QRT FIA bucket
• the FIA Legend bucket

You only want to customize your old rally car? The non-approved bucket is the ideal choice. Many models are available in our online shop. It's up to you to choose the one that best suits your taste and budget. For example, you can opt for the R100 Performance bucket with its nostalgic colours to relive the great moments of motor racing!

Sparco Martini Driver Harness

Harnesses for bucket seats made their appearance in the world of motor racing in the 1960s. Since then, the use of this car accessory has become an obligation set up by the FIA. The safety harness is therefore an essential piece of automotive equipment, especially for drivers in competition. This does not prevent you from getting one if you are a fan of motorsport and SIM racing (for gamers).

As a leader in the motorsport equipment market, Sparco offers harnesses for sale with the typical Martini Racing design, with blue and red stripes. In its catalogue you will find :

• FIA approved harnesses: the HANS 6P 2" FIA 8853 harness and the FIA HANS 6P Prime H-9 Evo 2 aluminium harness
• non-approved: the route point harness

In the harness category, Sparco does not forget to highlight the brand's coat of arms. The equipment features the emblematic Martini colours: blue and red.

Bucket seat with harness: an equipment for whom?

The use of a bucket seat with harness is a prerequisite for racing in rally cars. This type of car seat primarily ensures the safety of the driver and passengers (especially in case of an accident). By using bucket seats, your body also remains immobile even when cornering. The same applies when the car is travelling at full speed. In the world of top-level motor racing, bucket seats are custom-made. In other words, they are made to fit the driver's body in its driving position. This makes it even safer and more comfortable!

Regarding harnesses, the standards in force vary according to the race and the type of vehicle. The safety harness generally has between 3 and 8 points. For both the driver and the passengers, the harness must be installed correctly. If not, the bucket seat can become totally uncomfortable. Even worse, the driver and passengers may be in danger.

Bucket seat with harness: how to install?

Firstly, it is important to note that the harness does not attach to the seats or their supports. On the other hand, the driver's harness can be installed on the car's anchor points. As far as the shoulder straps are concerned, it is ideal to direct them backwards and downwards for a really optimal comfort.
