And that doesn't mean I don't think Corvette seats suck for lateral support.

If the stock seat had more lateral support it still would have come out for the road racing.

Me neither, I only have issues with GM selling that as a "production car" record, in a field where the other competitors run their cars completely stock.

Although I have to admit it might be easier for them, as they sell their sports cars with proper sport seats from the beginning.

BTW: Walter Röhrl also has a family, he said his lap times probably could be bested by a single man without children.

Best, Bernd
