Thought some in the racing/track community might be interested in remote shifters and what Roman Auto Prep has come up with during the off-season. There are a couple of designs out there that work well – I believe Erik Wood is using one David Levian’s shifters and I have used it as well many years ago, Jon Norman has one, etc…
Seating position is absolutely critical, and we’ve been constantly fine tuning it over the years in my car. Finally this year we decided to tackle the last major step in seating comfort and Roman installed his remote shifter, which allows me to sit further back in the ****pit and still have comfortable access to all the gears. The throw between gears is obviously a bit shorter as well.
The video shows it in action around Gingerman Raceway a few weeks back and you’ll note that we’ve obviously moved the steering wheel further back and I’m using a more laid back formula car style seating position.
My apologies for the poor view outside the car as I didn’t have the camera properly adjusted. I don’t have any still shots at this time – I’ll get some up later. Thanks - Bernardo
