Hello everyone,
Nic Hamilton: And it’s coming back, but I already want it to go in again, so it’s slipping in.

Is it possible to determine, at least in general, what he's talking about, i.e. what is meant by "it"?
Does, for example, it refer to some part of a car?
Thank you.

(accelerator/brake) pedal
I'm not sure but think "It" might be this! Because Nic has cerebral palsy and weak legs the car has had to be adapted for him. The clutch pedal has been moved to the steeing wheel and the brake and accelorator pedals have been adapted as well. as is clear from later in the script
14
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,120
Here, they're trying to modify the road-going Clio for Nic.
115
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,440
Strengthen it all up.
116
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,040
I want to be high, because normally, when you hit a brake pedal,
117
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:54,120
or any pedal, you have to push away from yourself.
118
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:59,200
Because I break with the bottom of my foot and not my toes, when I hit
119
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,280
the brake pedal, I want to be pushing downwards instead of away from me.
120
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:09,040
- Here, I need the pedals a lot closer. I don't want to be stretching.
- 100mm?
121
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,200
We'll be modifying the seat position, the pedals.
122
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,600
We'll put the clutch on the steering wheel,
123
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,200
because we want to lose the clutch pedal.
124
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,080
All those things will help Nic overcome his disabilities
125
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,280
and be competitive.

Some adaptations were required for his cars. The accelerator pedal is pushed to the floor, the brake pedal widened, the seat raised and a hand clutch used.

A few adaptations have been made to the car in order to help me when driving. The first thing was to have the accelerator pedal pushed back to floor and the brake pedal widened so that I could push down rather that reach away, which is harder for me. I also had the seat raised by 100mm and a hand clutch mounted to the rear of the steering wheel so I didn’t have to use another pedal.

obviously if you can just use "pedal" it would be best as it's unclear which of the pedals is meant here but since the clutch has been moved to the steering wheel that can be eliminated. Som which of the other two brake or acceleretor is more likely with
"it's coming back, but I already want it to go in again, so it’s slipping in"
given what he's saying above??

Thanks Helena! I gave up the first time I looked at this but had a bit of free time today and it was annoying me:-)

Note from asker:
| Thank you, Jonathan, but do I understand you correctly? You mean that it in "And it’s coming back, but I already want it to go in again, so it’s slipping in" refers to Cleo cup, right? |

: I'd advise a spelling review. I was asking myself what a Cleo cup had to do with racing (CAR racing), though it can go in and then slip out..., but...

Yes, I meant the second "it's", sorry if that was unclear.
"it's coming back" may refer to some technical situation on the car, perhaps the tires/wheels, as that is where they are looking.
