With track/drift/rally cars the heater matrix, air conditioning and front and rear door glass is often removed to save weight and increase power.
Pro Race/Drift cars have their door glass removed and the electric or mechanical window mechanism to save weight. Pro Drift cars remove and replace door glass with clear plastic as flying stones from other cars drifting can shatter the door glass when going sideways. This can cause injury to drivers mid drift, and or cause a distraction. Door glass is replaced with a special type of clear plastic, and this leads to a hot stuffy cabin with no fresh air or ventilation. We have a range of cockpit ventilation options to help bring in fresh air into the cabin, which can be mounted directly on to the plastic windows.
When removing the heater matrix and/or air conditioning there is no climate control within the cabin. This can lead to condensation on the front windscreen in colder climates, which negatively impacts driver visibility. We would recommend installing a lightweight heater to reduce/remove condensation. Again, in colder climates a heater maybe necessary and we have a variety of different heaters which can be used to bring the cabin/cockpit into a comfortable temperature.
