Default Track day question

Can you run without drivers window in?

My car is like driving a green house so was wondering if I could take window out

Also I'm guessing it's long sleeves and trousers

Silly questions I know.

Could you not open the windows while your on track. We do round cadwell. How does it differ for caterham drivers who take the tops of their doors off?. Or worst fit a roof vent or pipe in some air from the front of the car to the inside somehow

Gus this is one of the reasons Luke went back to glass front windows in his Fiesta and one of the reasons I wont be fitting perspex in the front of mine.

As well as getting air in, have you ever considered trying to get hot air out again?
Vented and foamed rear windows can help make a difference.

Yeah bit of a school boy really.

Being a doughnut I cut all the slider channels out of doors so can't go back now

I don't like the look of sliders

I will be getting a roof vent in 3 days (apparently lol)

The foam is good but only seen with a four door
Could just hole saw so
E circles in for now
