So stupid question...is the foam padding inside of track cars on the cage elements a hard requirement? I'm tall enough that this 1.5" stuff in a couple of spots wacks my helmet when I turn my head......just want to know if its a requirement for a safety reason so that I can either remove entirely or find something that is less thick.

 

There is low profle padding available, I have switched to this

Thanks. This is what I'm going to be dealing with and its just barely in the way.

 

Get the low profile foam if that does the trick. If your helmet still impacts the cage with normal movement, that's definitely not safe. Lower your seating position by lowering your seat or take out the seat cushion. Put foam padding everywhere that parts of your body could impact the cage in case of an accident, particularly your hands, elbows and ankles.

 

Thanks. I think the low profile foam will do the trick or maybe even reorienting this stuff might work. The way its angled has the maximum thickness leveled at the drivers head. But still might also look for a lower seat mount if there is even one.

 

The low profile padding will definitely make a difference, another thing that may help is removing all the padding from your seat and pouring a seat insert. It helped with my issue of the stilo helmet cooling adapter top making contact in a spec boxster..

 

Make sure the foam is SFI 45.1 only

 

Thanks for the feedback guys. Ready to get the car and tear around Baber and Road Atlanta.
