Correct seating position is the foundation of all driving and it's even more important if you're racing or competing.
1. Make sure that your buttocks are firmly wedged in the crevice between the seat back and the seat squab. Adjust the seat back angle until you are seated straight and have your bottom in the prescribed position.
2. Slide the seat backward, then extend your arms over the steering wheel. You should be able to place your wrists above the steering wheel without reaching over or bending forward from the seat back. When you transition your hands over to the 9-and-3-o'-clock position, your arms will have a slight bend to them. This is important - you want maximum leverage on the steering wheel in order to perform quick corrections.
3. Make sure that your feet have enough leverage as well. You should be able to depress the clutch and brake pedals to the floorboard and still have a slight bend to your knee.
4. Never, ever, ever use the inside of the steering wheel to turn. Use the outer rim. Why? It's harder to make corrections mid-turn if you use the inside of the steering wheel.
EVERYTHING about what I shared in this post is about having maximum leverage - and it starts with your hips and back being situated in the correct position on the seat. The more leverage your limbs have, the more control you have on the car, the less effort needed, and the more comfort you will have driving. Hope this helps
