Rear Visibility?
Posted: Mon Jun 28, 2021 3:10 pm
Greetings all- new SRF3 racer based in Atlanta. I’ve been doing track days for four years and I just got my Comp license at the beginning of this year. I’m coming over from SM where I was running an early 1.6 car in SMSE.
I had my first laps in the SRF this past weekend; test day on Friday and a local summer race series at AMP with the Historics on Saturday. Overall I’m super impressed with the car, I feel like I’m learning it quickly and it’s very fast. The biggest challenge I had was seeing what’s behind me. I’m used to having a center mirror in Miatas, and with the side mirrors and high cockpit rear of the SRF I basically couldn’t see anything if it was directly behind me. Are there any easy solutions here or do I just need to adjust to it? It was disconcerting. Thanks in advance, looking forward to chasing you guys at some SCCA races soon.
