I think you'll fit. I'm 6', 175 lb and I'm fairly comfortable in my '83 RT4. More hip room than my old Swift DB4. The only restrictions I feel in the RT4 are around the elbow area, but once on track I forget all about it. :-)Quote:

You would have no problem in a RT4 from a fitting size. Fairly large cockpit and if you don't have really wide shoulders plenty of room even with forward facing roll bars.
Thanks guys. Turns out the car in question is a RT5. Assuming cockpit size is similar. Going out to look at it in a couple weeks and will find out for sure.

I'm pretty sure they are the same.Quote:

The lap belts' attachments (on my car - maybe the same for all RT4's) makes the width about 14" there.
At the rearmost of the seat/floor, it's about 16" wide.
BTW, I think the most interesting difference between the RT4 and RT5 is the fuel cell size. The RT4's is bigger (taller behind the driver). I assume this was for the longer distances of the pro Formula Atlantic (and F2) races compared to FSV/F3.
