mmt 15 Posted September 12, 2013 Hi In most rally cars there are bolted a foot rest in on the co driver side... For obvious reasons. On many race/rally cars there are however also bolted a floor plate often aluminium in the drivers side. But why? Is it for safety reasons and if so how does a aluminium plate on the floor add safety? Why would you want to raise the floor by adding such a plate in the drivers side of the car? Thanks.

engine killer 6 Posted September 13, 2013 afaik, there is a reason, mainly to cover the master cylinders (clutch and brake) for the floor mount pedal box or someone wants a flat floor when all sound deadening is gone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allanallen 528 2 Cars Posted September 13, 2013 When you remove carpet/sound deadening your feet can be up to an inch lower, a false floor would lift your feet back up to put your them in the correct position on the pedals. A foot rest (in Motorsport applications) is used to help brace yourself during Cornering and stop your foot flailing around or bracing on the clutch pedal.
