Re: New Skippy Car Components Survey #3 of 8: SAFETY FEATURES

Gerardo, great job asking us drivers!!

The interiors of these cars are much better than they were 10-15 years ago, when there was no padding around the areas your legs would contact during side to side transitions.

I would like to see a seat that enables the driver to sit more at a 90 degree angle, and deeper in the cockpit. This would be a benefit for the taller drivers. I, and other taller drivers have experienced alot of air getting under our helmet, which almost pulls it off. If we sat lower, this problem would be solved.

As far as a 'bead seat' if this (see below photo) is what you mean, then that is something that can be explored as well.




As far as belts- I am OK with the current set up. If that can be improved, than all the better.

Thanks
