F1 car seating position

[Turkish]

Looks comfy :S

 

[JoeyD]

Foam is not very heavy. Fact.

 

[DaveDreads]

Foam is heavy?

Those cars are so light that taking a sh*t might actually give you a 10th of a second.

 

[Adam G]

And a good fart is like DRS?

They're unreal at how low you are. Literally can't see anything.

I remember when I sat in Alesi's Benetton from 96', I was 9 (tallest in class ) but f**k me I couldn't see past the bottom of the wheel.

Indeed! :approve:
Although i'd imagine your arse cheeks are so tightly wedged in the seat I doubt you'd get one out. :S

 

[JoeyD]

FLOL!

 

[Fletcher]

Interesting video.

 

[Goodj]

Pretty sure I see a lot of 1.2 and VTR drivers adopting a similar position.

coz, of cors, iz race car

 

[JackJack]

Always knew they were almost laying down but didn't realise it was that much.

 

[McGherkin]

I once had to spend a few 40 minute sessions driving in that position. Hardest bit was seeing over my feet, and the neck strain after was fcuking brutal.

Hate to do it with plenty of G-force though.

 

[david hodson]

Are his feet and legs so high up to take into account the Fduct they have ?

 

[DaveDreads]

They're all like that, even without the FartDuct.

 

[Heez]

All about centre of gravity and how the air flow goes around the cockpit, or under the cockpit.

no you want to hold this in, as methane is lighter than air

 

[The Fatty]

...and that driving position is a bit wrong; his feet are higher than his head, which they are not in the car...

 

[Russ_16v]

Bit different to a 172 lol

 

[Goodj]

Bit different to a 172 lol

foot on the dash then go for the backrest switch (I say switch as there doesn't appear to be much between bolt-upright and F1-flat).

not far off

Needs approval from FIA to redirect it to the rear wing.
