My father and I have been doing some outings in our vintage DSR and plan to do more this year. It took some work on the seat to get everything to work ergonomically but I think we are getting close. The one obvious issue is that the rather inclined seating position means I have a really hard time looking far enough down to check my gages without pulling my helmet down. I basically can't see anything below the dash loop of the cage.
I attribute some of this to my rather clunky HVC helmet that honestly I have never liked. I have an Arai helmet that is still legal to run and will give it a shot the next time out. All around Arai helemts are much better units so perhaps it will allow for better ergonomics.
That said, anybody have a similar issue that they solved with a helmet (make, brand, model)? Also, hans devices? I am using HANS brand but wonder if there isn't something a bit easer to deal with in this seating position? Raising the seat position isn't really possible as we will run afoul the roll bar helmet clearance, we are already not exactly meeting spec despite having raised the roll bar 2" (max we can go without a roll bar redesign).
For those interested, here's the car;
