In 1977, Sparco was founded by two race drivers who shared the same passion for motorsport. More than twenty five years later, Sparco's ambition for producing the safest driving suit and safety equipment possible, is still the number one priority for the company.

Sparco has become the staple for thousands of professional and amateur racing drivers who now rely on Sparco every year to protect them in a volatile environment, the cockpit of a racecar. At speeds of more than 200 mph, and temperatures above 120 degrees, a driver must be 100% confident in their safety equipment. Therefore, the world's top professional drivers choose Sparco, more than any other brand.

Drivers such as Jeff Gordon, Mika Hakkinen, Alex Zanardi, Scott Sharp, Bobby Labonte, Juan Pablo Montoya, Jimmy Vasser, Ralf Schumacher, Dario Franchitti, Bill Elliott, Paul Tracy, David Coulthard, Jean Alesi , and more than 20 other professional drivers in Formula One, Nascar Nextel Cup, and Indy Car Series, demand Sparco for their safety needs.

Sparco has always worked closely with professional drivers to develop the safest, most technologically advanced products available.
