I'm gonna be going to laguna in May with NCRC. Just wanted to know if seats is all i need to pass the broomstick test or do i need a roll bar to pass. Thanks in advance

 

with the low down rail brackets you will yes.. Not just with the seat itself.. I have about 2.5 inches of clearance with my helmet on and thats in a type 3

 

He didn't say how tall he was unless you know him

Stock hoops aren't high

I am 5'9 and will not clear with a stock seat

With my low momo I just barely with stock hoops

 

oops forgot to say, i'm 5'11

 

The differences in the Type's are just the styles, or are they wider or narrower in others? I've been looking at getting racing seats in a short while.

 

you can have long legs, just hope you have a short torso... That's what poses the problem,you will probably have to slouch regardless.

btw, I'm 5'9 and I was almost dead even with the bar with the helmet on. I only used the rear low rise bracets and kept the standard ones on the front. If not the pan will be all the way on the floor and you won't be able to adjust your seat.


Also my buddy is about 6 foot, maybe even 6'1 and he clears with the same seat as me. I think you'll be good to go.

 

i have a bride low max. it lowers my seating position a couple inches but the helmet adds a couple inches.

 

I have an f1 spec for sale in the FS forum. I was able to easily pass broomstick test, even with my helmet on, with seat and buddy club rails. I'm 5'9 and 200lbs.
