Seat position v driving style

[jonbarrett]

This is going to sound rather strange but having owned my Cerbera for three years I took it out today with the driver's seat pushed more forward that I would normally have it.

I felt much more part of the car, it felt more balanced, the gear changes were slicker (better clutch control) and I was using much more of the long throttle movement.

Much better drive, I'll be leaving the seat where it it!

Seat should be set so that when sitting back against the seat, with your arm straight out in front of you, your wrist should sit on top of the steering wheel.

I'll try that

I find that having two positions suits me, one for cruising and commuting a little more laid back so to speak and the other closer to the wheel and more upright for when pushing on .
Although for both I insist on being able to have my wrist touch the top of the wheel, otherwise you are not in full control in my book. I find the closer position a bit difficult as your knees are right up against the underside of the dash. Ideally I should move the peddles between the two positions too but that's too much of a bind to do every time.
