Seating positions

[205alive]

I thought this might be the best place to ask questions regarding vehicle design - specifically, does anyone have any links to any illustrations of low level seating positions in various kit/sports cars?

I've done a google image search but can't really find what I'm looking for, other than a pretty extreme F1 seat position - the remainder seem to be fairly run of the mill.

What I suppose is needed is a side view of a driver seated low with arms and legs in a relevant and ergonomically correct driving position.

Any pointers, please?

Is this the sort of thing?

Struggling to reach the steering wheel as per the picture is not a great idea.

Anyway, it's a bit pointless to ask what you are asking, as it will always be person-specific (legs, arms, height, etc). You need to put your seat into your car and see where you want to be before fixing it.

Thanks for the suggestions - I actually got something from Recaro, although the seating position wasn't suited I was able to take the illustration in to photoshop and adjust angles to suit.

It's not actually for an existing build, I just needed a ready made figure to drop into an illustration.

But again, thanks all.

Incidentally, yep that was exactly the thing.
