Sparco

Sparco is an Italian motorsport brand. In its own words, Sparco was born in 1977 from the dream of two young drivers to give motorsport more safety and more style, and Wikipedia describes Sparco S.p.A. as an auto part and accessory company headquartered in Volpiano near Turin. It specialises in seats, steering wheels, harnesses, racewear and helmets, and its official store also has a Lifestyle collection that, in Sparco's words, brings the spirit of motorsports into everyday life through clothing and accessories.

The Drivers HQ stocks Sparco footwear, watches, bags and backpacks, and jackets and coats. Footwear makes up most of the range, from the Monza GP in black or grey suede and the Monza Lesmo Ankle Boots / Trainers to the Fairwood High Top Sneakers / Trainers in tan and the Fortaleza Flip Flop / Sliders in black, blue, red and white. Watches include the Alain Wrist Watch in red or yellow and the Fernando Wrist Watch, while the Large Backpack Rucksack in blue or grey and the Greenwood Coat in grey or red complete the selection.

These are everyday pieces rather than racing equipment, so they suit drivers and motorsport fans who want a nod to the pit lane in what they wear away from the car. The Monza GP is a racing inspired model with a snug fit, and its product page recommends choosing one size larger than usual. The watches pair stainless steel cases with silicone straps, the backpacks have a laptop and tablet pocket for daily use, and the sliders are an easy choice for summer, track days and car shows.

Buy Sparco from The Drivers HQ with tracked UK-wide delivery by Royal Mail, or call in at our walk-in store in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, where Click & Collect is free. Whether you are after a new pair of trainers, a watch with a motorsport feel or a backpack for the daily commute, you can add Sparco to the same order as your car care and car culture essentials from the rest of our range.
