Details on New Factory Five 818C Coupe

[Flamshackle]

Regarding a cage, it looks like it's going to be difficult to get the main hoop top 2" above the drivers helmet, at least for a 6'3" guy like me. A race coupe version would need to fit over the R version main hoop, which would require a redesigned and expensive coupe top just for us racers.
I've seen the drivers seat dropped thru the floor before to fit taller guys in C5Z06 race cars, but it's generally not a good idea, and some rules ban the practice.
I guess it's wait and see time for the Open House next summer to figure if there's a way to modify the fit to pass the rules if one wanted to use an 818C as a platform for a caged car.

I am 6'5" and I would disagree... With the exisiting seat in the FFR 818 there is loads of space above my head on the soft top. With a different lower seat you could realizs more than enough real estate for a halo hoop above IMO

That's good news. But I'll still wait till the Open House before I put money down again.
Thanks!
