As title really... will i be able to get my 6'6" 18st frame into a G20. I've packed myself into a Dax Rush, Sylva Phoenix (with some mods) and a westfield SEiW before... Any thoughts?

Thinking of a G20 as a cheap to run trackday car.

Thanks

Tim

I had a G33 which is a bit bigger than a G20. I am 6ft and that is about as tall was was comfortable, it was no good for my 6ft 3inch son as a passenger

The G20 may have more space but its difficult to see how.

Knowing some of the guys who have owned and raced in G20s, you should fit, but it might take a little work (on the car). There would almost certainly need to be a hoop fitted to the top of the cage, behind the driver, to ensure that your helmet is adequately protected should the car flip..

ETA : see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginetta_Cars about 4 or 5 images down, on the right hand side, white race G20, I think it was probably one of the Celeb cars.

Ed Straw (Autosport F1 Journalist) used to race the car I now own & he is huge! Easily your size. Ran without a seat in it, just padding, so it can be done.

I am 6 ft & 15 stone & have a seat in the car now & can only just reach the pedals, so plenty of room in my view & they are great cars to run as a track day car. Good handling & bullet proof.
