I have driven on track in Mustangs with both the Recaros as well as the "sofa" base style seats, and for me I need a harness and it needs to be TIGHT in order to be able to relax behind the wheel on track and just be held in place. I don't find a difference between the two types of seats on track. I'm too large for the Recaros (6'4" 200 lbs), but I can squeeze into them for a track session. Even with them being excessively tight, they don't hold me in place without a tight harness.Great, clear write-up on some interesting issues! You made me grateful I waited to buy my Mach 1 in 2021 instead of getting a PP2 a couple years earlier, heh... Although I still haven't gotten her to the track (I want to, but been having too much fun with my GT4).
I'm curious what seats you have and what solutions you have for holding yourself in place on track if they're factory seats. Although I'm sure this is another topic that's been beaten to death around here, haven't searched yet.
Question for people on here who have had the front bearings fail on them. What was the failure mode? Did the failure require the car to be towed? Did the bearing just get noisy or is this a dangerous failure that could cause a wheel to come off or something?
I'm trying to decide whether the bearing thing is something to do right away, or if I'm ok waiting until the first ones fail.
