Sorry no passenger seat, but then would you really want to be in a race car with me  ;D ;D
I know there isn't... Just pulling your leg. I've watched a few of your videos so yes... I'll be happy to sit passenger.

Same as you, don't do passenger very well.
Last time was years ago at Combe with Phil Collard  in his Race RX-7, when he asked me to go with him to show him lines. I refused initially then realised that if he crashed I would feel guilty :-[

EXACTLY!!!!!  :))
Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

I enjoyed shotgun with Jon.

its like watching film with g force added lol.

Made it nicer overtaking everyone and feeling the back end putting up a fight against his right foot.

The only downside was my muffin tops are too wide for his mother are booster seat replica.

I remember climbing in thinking ow, ow, ow.

I know..they came with the car...lucky fit me spot on...the civic car with x2 new wide cobra buckets...i was just moving about to much so stuck an old sparco circuit pro in the drivers side. Seat choice and placement is  paramount in a track/ race car. Nice n snug but comfortable.ish.

Took ages to get right in westy..3 weekends to get the grp shell seat right...took an angle grinder to it shaving bits off here and there notches for the harness buckles too. Very tight to get it in and me comfy.

One of the benefits of trying to get it road legal, as you can faff about before getting to the track.
Think the rotus project will be ongoing even when it’s finished
