What happens here

Outfit the interior of the race car with critical driver controls and safety equipment. This includes installing a specialized pedal assembly designed for two-foot operation (left foot for brake, right foot for throttle), a quick-release racing steering wheel, and a custom dashboard populated with essential gauges (e.g., AutoMeter) and switches. A racing seat (e.g., ButlerBuilt) is securely mounted within the roll cage, fitted with a multi-point racing harness (e.g., Simpson) for driver safety.

Goal: Prepare the driver's compartment for racing operations.
