Putting on "STICKY TIRES" for Saturday's Track Day!! Race Car upgrades! #racing #trackday

What happens here

Address the steering wheel setup. The existing low-profile steering wheel may not provide enough clearance between the driver's fingers and the paddle shifters, and may be too far from the driver. Remove the current steering wheel (tools for removal are not shown but typically involve a socket set and possibly a steering wheel puller). Install a new quick-release steering wheel or add a spacer that brings the wheel closer to the driver and provides additional clearance for paddle shifters. Ensure all connections, including the horn and any electronic controls, are properly reconnected.

Goal: Improve driving ergonomics and paddle shifter access by adjusting steering wheel position.
