Knee Pad

[ECG1000]

When I'm going round corners quickly I like to hold my right knee against the door for support.
In the clio my knee goes up against the door handle and after a while hurts! I'm probably being a pussy but wouldn't mind some kind of pad to to prevent this.

Had anyone had this problem and resolved it? :biggrin:

Go round left corners more to ease the pain from the right knee. When the left knee hurts....

ALTERNATE.

LOL

A knee pad is your best option, its what we use in karting and what racing drivers and some formula one drivers use to prevent damage to their knees.

Random google search, but you get the idea - http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/mechanics-protection/omp-nomex-knee-pads

I struggle to believe your legs are flailing around this much though, I don't think I've ever had this problem.. haha. You need some more meat on your legs.

Maybe you need to move your seat back to get your legs straight when driving. Sounds like a strange problem to me.

This.

Thinking about it, if my legs touched the door, they wouldn't be touching the pedals. My legs are practically outstretched on full throttle.

Cheers for the replies guys.

My driving position is bang on in my opinion:
-Leg slightly bent when clutch is fully depressed.
-Wrist just touches top or steering wheel when sat back.
-Arms are slightly bent when hand are at 10 to 2.

Just me having bad habbits. I do it with my left leg as wheel against the centre console as well but that's soft.
My legs aren't flailing about at all and I'm well held in by the Recaro I just for some reason like to press them up against something to hold me still.

Feel like a weirdo now Thought this would have been a common problem!!

Thanks for the link mate. I was thinking more along the lines of something you wrap around the door handle.
I'll have to make something cool at work that you'll all be jealous of!!

That'd do me, i allways have a bruised left knee after a track day, i seem to brace myself against the centre console.

I just need one for the door handle..... Roll cage foam might work!
