Quite the opposite of Mark Webber's issue of excess height Yuki needs help to reach pedals, let alone his own full potential, in his AT02 car.

With Danny Ric sporting high fashion racing boots I wonder if anyone has considered making platform racing boots.  :D

J.C. Whitney used to make pedal extensions. They were wood blocks with rubber treads. When I was in high school, I helped a buddy of mine but a set on his grandmother's 1962 Mercury Meteor. Could that be the kit they're talking about?  ;)

I had the opposite problem. When it came out, I wanted a Fiat X-1/9 really badly. I went to the dealer to look and found to my dismay the seat wouldn't go back far enough for me to get my feet on the pedals. I was crushed.

X19 was one of my fav cars back then. I bought a Fiero but
being over 50 it was a pain to get in and out of. I'd need a
hoist now
