Ok, not really

I suppose it could be helpful for the guys just starting their track days, though. Cool to see a forum member in the video.

Well, now I know what he looks like.

Having a teenager with a driving permit, I can tell you that they do not teach 10 & 2, or even 9 & 3. It's now 8 & 4, and they must shuffle steer. This supposedly reduces injuries from airbag deployment.


And damn! That seat must be on the floor pan, 'cause that wheel looks awfully high.

My little sister just got her driving permit. In California they are still teaching 9 and 3. Maybe Virginia is different...


High steering wheels/low seating position is found on many race cars:




Ideally the NSX's wheel would be lower by ~ 1", more perpendicular to the ground than angled up and further away by ~ 1" to keep the same wrist-to-top of steering wheel distance. But overall it is an extremely comfortable position for my body size.

I'm not that secretive. You can easily find me if you wanted too. Here's a good laugh: http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Billys-...Ride_648676.htm

That BMW doesn't look anything like that NSX in the video. Maybe it was the camera angle. Reaching upwards seems like it would add to fatique. And sorry, I don't have a man-crush, so I won't be looking for you in videos.

At 0:42 there is a Berlina SK2 passing in the background.
Is that the forum member?
