The aim of this paper is to present a set of parameters for the ergonomic design of a Formula student racing car cockpit. Motor racing is one of the most renowned sports across the globe, and therefore, its design is utmost important for achieving the highest safety and comfort. Design of cockpit is one of the important parts of Formula student racing car as it contains several essential components which a driver needs to operate during its operation like steering, lever, accelerator pedal, brake pedal, and seat. After design, the race car is tested for different tests and is completely finalized before the final race. Certain issues are faced by the driver which can be easily prevented by proper design of the cockpit. This paper gives a quick review of these issues by removing fatigue, seat comfort mainly related to support posture, and the orientation of driver. Seat comfort is also related to driver’s anthropometry and the amount of time spent during sitting that may affect the comfort level, providing the most comfortable position to the driver. This paper ensures the safety of driver from accidents by suggesting the certain set of parameters of an ergonomically designed Formula student racing car which can be more comfortable and safe during its operation. The analyses are performed on seat-based condition for, e.g., specification identified that relates anthropometric estimation and bolster parameters characterized concerning a situated stance. Data were compiled and used to design a cockpit suitable for people within the range of 95 percentile male and 5 percentile females. Proposing such a design of the cockpit, the driving technique may be improved drastically and less fatigue to the driver can be achieved. Finally, the paper concludes by highlighting the major findings, discussion on results, and scope for further studies
