Try a D ring steering wheel works great with long legs. Prevents it from hitting your thighs.

But its the ideal race driver position ergonomically.

I do recommend knee replacement!! Lol

I'll be your therapist for free.
The day that happens is the day I crawl into the Dr's office. Not until then. I have good days and bad days. Both my knee's are trash.

LOL, I thought about that but I don't know if it would be enough room. Our steering well is about two inches larger in diameter than a 350 mm racing wheel.

Can not adjust my seat any close so I lower the front and raised the back one notch and holy crap it worked. I'm will need knee pads for sure lol. I may lower the back were I had it but I will give this a try. My next track event is in three weeks a course that is pretty much a big Auto X course. Lots of twist and turns so I will get a good feel for the adjustment.
