Steering wheel question.

ZL1 FOR ME · 09-20-2017, 10:48 PM

Al,
Is it feasible to have the steering wheel extend one inch further into the cabin on future builds? The reason I am asking is for track day use for taller drivers. The extra inch of travel would allow taller drivers to sit farther back into the passenger compartment thus allowing taller drivers to set their seat to have the steering wheel set to be at their wrist as is usually recommended for track use.
Sorry about the long sentence:-).

Good question!

The heart of it, really, seems to be the ergonomics for taller drivers at the track!

Maybe add to that topic.
Can the radio switches be made to operate both ways.
Have the ability to push them up and down.
I find it awkward at times to pull them towards you, depends on how you hold the wheel.
Would rather push them down.

Mr. Wyndham that is exactly it. Also being able to sit a little farther back in the cabin gives taller drivers a little more headroom with a helmet on. Sitting farther into the cabin also allows you to sit the seat back up a little straighter for a better view of the track.
