I have a sunroof unfortunately...

My seats are manual, so go lower than electric seats, and even when not wearing a helmet, I need to set them sunk to the ground.

When I visit the track, if I do not recline my seat, the helmet touches the roof liner. When I recline my seat, this moves my torso further from the steering wheel, so I have to slide the seat forward a little to reach it, and I tilt the steering wheel upwards a little so my legs dont rub on the wheel when I heal and toe.

Far from the ideal driving position, but need to make compromises, as other life expenses get in the way... ;-)
