Does my cockpit need special flooring underneath?

Your cockpit does not require special flooring underneath, but using a non-slip mat can provide extra stability. Regular flooring can lead to sliding or movement during use, so a good quality mat can mitigate this issue. For instance, if you're racing on hardwood, a mat can prevent scratches and keep the cockpit in place. Pro Tip: Choose a mat with a textured bottom for better grip. Consideration: If your cockpit is set on carpet, ensure it is not too plush as it can affect stability and may require additional anchoring methods.
