So is there actually an ideal position for all drivers? Well, there is something very close to a perfect position that allows for comfort (which leads to less fatigue), leverage, bracing and good control of the vehicle in all types of driving conditions. Go fast! They can’t do that without the correct seating set-up. They do this so that every time they get into their cars, the position is optimized to help them best perform their job. For a professional race car driver or people lucky enough to have their own dedicated race car, their seat and steering wheel is set to a specified position that never changes. In both of these positions the driver does not have the leverage or the movement required in their arms to make emergency driving corrections. Well obviously, both of these positions are incorrect for a number of reasons. Then some people are so close to the steering wheel that you could not slip a CD between the steering wheel and their chest. Their arms are fully stretched out, having no bend at all in their elbows.
