Silver_blade Turbocharged March 2, 2010 Share March 2, 2010 For those who drive in 'Racer' position, don't you find you have less control of the car? maybe it was just me...I think it would be difficult to control the car accurately in emergency and tight situation. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. Your elbows should not be completely straight (locked) at the 9-3 position - if you do it this way, you'll face a control issue. They should be bent at a slight angle so that you can still do crossed forearm steering quickly without feeling uncomfortable (the forearm that ends up on top goes to a locked elbow). Perfect car control. Edited March 2, 2010 by Turboflat4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_blade Turbocharged March 2, 2010 Share March 2, 2010 I see. Thanks. Cos from the picture, cos the backrest is so far back...in order for the arm to be slightly bend...either the seat have to go really close to the front or the steering wheel have to have telescopic adjustment.

Viceroymenthol 6th Gear March 2, 2010 Share March 2, 2010 ya lor... i watch all the race drivers on tv or TOP GEAR / fifth gear, none of them sit like the racer cartoon in the first post. when arms are fully outstretched, the less control of the steering the driver will have.

Pinkypink Neutral Newbie March 6, 2010 Share March 6, 2010 wah my driving posture is a cross between the racer and the pimp. i drive with one hand and one leg (auto transmission), left hand usually resting on centre console. sometimes i cross my left leg under also, although that's quite dangerous. :p Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopitehc Neutral Newbie March 8, 2010 Share March 8, 2010 My back is lean back between the Multi-tasker and the Racer, seats position are slightly back where my shoulders are almost where the seat belt is. Usually i drive with 1 hand, the other one resting on highway unless i'm doing turns/u-turning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, okay.... Ya, I had a problem initially when switching from manual to auto too. But now quite used to driving with one leg liao. Haha. But anyway, since you're a lady, doesn't that look unglam to cross your legs like that? Edited March 9, 2010 by Benarsenal ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
