What happens here

The interior of the race car is showcased, revealing a stripped-down, functional cockpit. Noteworthy elements include the old Motorola radio (MK340 model) zip-tied to the roll cage, heavy-duty GM ignition boxes mounted on the dashboard (one main, one backup), the shift knob, and the array of gauges. The overall green interior paint scheme is consistent with the exterior, and various ducts (made of corrugated hose) are visible, indicating driver cooling systems. The presence of paper notes taped to the floor highlights instructions for engine operation and maintenance, adding to the raw, functional aesthetic.

Goal: Explore the driver's environment and identify key functional components within the cockpit.
