Hello Erich,
The small fairings simply cover the suspension, the large bullet accommodates the drivers from hip to toe. The car has a Z seat configuration, but, the main body tub is very narrow, so the bulges really do just wrap around the driver and passenger. In fact the passenger has to sit at a very awkward angle with the right arm resting on the bodywork behind the drivers shoulder and only a much smaller bulge just covering the hip and with legs twisted down into the foot well. both occupants have to sit on seats with a base which is lower than the chassis cross member, which is excellent for the C of G, but makes for an interesting driving position!
Thank you for your comments.
Regards, Mark.
