Default Racing seat

Day 1 confirmed my suspicion that my tall *** would not fit with a helmet. I need a lower seat. Iuckily they swapped a seat for me and made it much better. Sucks not having.cooled seat and power mirrors don't work without stock seat, but otherwise, Mimu more comfortable.

Any recommendations for a.seat that may have slightly lower butt bolsters so I could get in and out easier?

I also had problems with insufficient headroom with the helmet and neck restraint system they provide. After listening to the detailed presentation about the best seating position there was only one seat position that allowed me to hold my helmeted head straight up. The seat had to be put in its lowest position and reclined way back. Then I still had to scrunch forward in the seat and pull the seat back. Kind of a drag but I got used to it and it was no problem.

That didn't even work for me. My head touches seated back and reclined without a helmet
