When I get my 1.8T I'm pretty sure I'll go to a couple track days. I figure I'll just use my motorcycle helmet ... will I fit? Does the sunroof make a difference? Can you drive the track with the sunroof open for clearance? I'm 6'3" and will probably barely fit. Thanks!!

In the autocross seating position where the seat is very upright, the top of the helmet does touch the top of the roof. I don't think opening the sunroof is going to help much, since you will be further to the left. It doesn't touch enough to make it a problem, and if you sit in a certain way, it doesn't touch at all. Therefore, I wouldn't worry too much about it.<p>Mike

I have to hold my head at a slight angle, so that the helmet goes in the sunroof area. At the events I've been to, you can't have the sunroof open.<p>You can try reclining the seatback farther than you normally would and sliding the seat forward a little; you'll just have to play around with the adjustments until you find the best position.<p>Rich D.

Wow, Mike, does your car have a sunroof (and the resultant 1-1/2&quot; reduction in headroom)? Because if so, I'd sure like to know what I'm doing wrong.

6'1, sunroof, helmet: just perfect fit with seat rock bottom

Re: 6'3&quot; w/ sunroof, '97 sport seats -- no problem on my roadcourse events.

...it's also inseam. If you're 6'4" but have a 42 inch inseam, headroom will not be an issue.<p>Personally, I'm 6'2" with a 34" inseam, a 1.8t with sport seats and a sunroof, and I don't fit well in the car with a helmet on. It's certainly doable, but I have to tilt my head 10 degrees -- kind of a PITA. The car is so great in so many other ways, though, that I don't mind.<p><br>-vik<br>99.5 1.8tqms
