That is pretty cool...very efficient use of space... I could never spend two hours with my feet above my hips....

Porsche always did cutaways of there cars and engines...those were intersting displays.

Very cool... thanks for posting it.

However, just seeing the thread title reminded me of this crash which I know many here remember... so glad I wasn't there to witness it:

Didn't realize they had their feet up like that. Spread 'em a few more inches and it'd look like they're about to get examined in a girly-type manner.

I'd love to see a similar cutaway of the Mercedes, with the DRS activated ducting!

Wow. That boggles the mind. And it's at least 2 years old!

What a horrible seating position. My Caldwell Formula Vee was bad ( totally flat on your back..) but not like that.
