Track Day Aftermarket Steering Wheel Setup

Tall man problems..... LOL The steering wheel is to far forward for me also. I don't like having to reach for the wheel.

Yes it would have been nice to have telescoping steering wheels.

Ideally you do need to be a little closer with the steering wheel with elbow flexed about 30-40 degrees.

Flat bottom wheels is a good upgrade.

My knees are as the diagram suggest and my arms are not so good...close but just enough to not be optimal.

Try a D ring steering wheel works great with long legs. Prevents it from hitting your thighs.

LOL, I thought about that but I don't know if it would be enough room. Our steering well is about two inches larger in diameter than a 350 mm racing wheel.

I understand. I also drive with my legs almost extended and arms fully extendedlike a mofo! Lol

But its the ideal race driver position ergonomically.

I do recommend knee replacement!! Lol

I'll be your therapist for free.

The day that happens is the day I crawl into the Dr's office. Not until then. I have good days and bad days. Both my knee's are trash.
