folding buckets

[franki68]

So dithering over my seat selection I got a chance to try the folding buckets in a gt3.I found the seats fine for driving ,but is there a knack to getting in a and out of them without banging your hamstring ? I pulled the seat right back for entry and exit ,but is there a particular technique to getting in and out of them without it being a major pain ...in the leg?

This works for me. Assuming it's rhd, place your right hand on the sill or rear part of the side bolster as you put your left leg in, left hand on the wheel Helps if the seat is slid back.

having had a drive in a 991gt3 (a bit of a let down to be honest) ,I found the folding buckets very comfortable with one exception,they pinch the shoulders quite hard ,is this something you get used to ?

I've not had any such problems.

I find them better than the Recaros I had in my 996 GT3 CS
991 GT3CS buckets are much more user friendly

I found the same with my Spyder (987). What I was wearing made a difference. So for example, with a thick coat I noticed it but with just a shirt I was fine
