Driving position with stock R3 seats
 

So I've never done a track day with my own car, and one of my missions this year is to change that. The main obstacle is that I feel like I can't get a decent driving position with a helmet on.

I'm 6' 2", and my normal driving position gives me a good reach on the controls but not enough headroom to accommodate a helmet. If I recline far enough to get a helmet on, it feels like my arms are too far from the steering wheel.

Short of installing a legit racing seat, is there anything I can do? Any tall folks with R3 seats care to weigh in?

I'm 6'3", long of torso, and bought the R3 knowing that headroom would be an issue...
I've not looked into it, but it *may* be possible to temporarily remove the R3 seat bottom cushion. I did this with Corbeau A4 seat in a previous car. Remove the seat cushion and sit on the springs for track days :)

I click the seat forward one notch to account for the bit of extra recline I need for helmet clearance with mine. 6' 0" though...

I don't feel like it affects the footwork too much since you're using "more of the pedals" on track.

YMMV

I'm already about as far forward as my knees will allow. :/

If converting to a full on track car then yank the stock wheel and put on something with more of a dish / offset to it would probably be next step then.

I wish I could convert it. This is my DD and will be for the foreseeable future.

6'-3" here and I have to recline and have the seat further forward than normal to fit with a helmet. It's not ideal, but perfectly workable. Certainly better than my old sunroof equipped FC.
