Reply To: driving question / staying put in the seat

I think seat fit is largely a personal preference.  But you don’t want to move around too much.  My seat fits tight when on the grid.  But under cornering forces I have enough room to slot my elbow between me and the seat padding (not that I do that mind you – LOL).

In general I try to relax.  My grip on the wheel is very relaxed.  And I don’t particularly brace myself for corners.  That said, I do notice I maintain my knees close to the tank in the corners as opposed to some guys whom I’ve seem allow their knees to flop about.
