Regardless of how you sit, Polo seats are not really any good to you on a trackday. You might as well lean back like a P plater in a VT commodore. I find myself gripping the wheel hard enough on the road let alone on a track.
How do the taller driver's get on with a Helmet? I'm 6'4" and my head is almost to the roof with the seat quite low.
The A pillars definately have some racing heritage in them. Perfect position for looking out your side window at the corner exit on both sides.
there have been a few cases of these 'p' plates drivers involved in accidents and their seats have been so laid back that theyve slid under the seatbelt towards the pedals and broken their neck on the lap part of the belt on the way throughQuote:

I can't imagine a side impact in that position would be good either.
Drove the Polo for the first time in a while this morning. Put the seat all the way back (the missus had been in it) and sat down only to find what I thought was some crazy lumbar support sticking squarely into my back. I was looking around for some kind of adjuster for a couple of minutes, until I realised the rear seat was folded down on that side, and it was the rear headrest sticking into the back of the driver's seat. The bloody things must be foam all the way through the back section. Luckily I've got a spare bride seat and a set of rails if I ever go to a track.
