Limited lever arm length resulting in lower pedal ratio
Takes up a lot of footwell space and can limit the travel for the foot resulting in less braking force
Bounding Box
The dimensions of the bounding box will determine where the pedal box fits in the car. It will be constructed around the frame. From the current bounding box, we can achieve the estimated max pedal ratio of 1:7.

Pedal Box Design Methodology
The pedal box design is designed using a skeleton sketch to map out important locations like:
The mounting point of the master cylinder
The mounting point of the balance bar
Axle of pedals
