Driving/Seat Position

[Trucidatio]

I am usually in a a very upright position and about 2 clicks backs from my aggressive driving position.

I say aggressive driving cause I dont get a chance to track my car much

if its and E30 i ahve to be close and upright... any other car, it dont matter

Same for me. After putting in my fixed back seat in my track car, I slowly went from "gangsta position" in my daily driver to almost the same angle as my track seat. It's just naturally easier to control the car during my 80 miles per day commute. If I try to lean it back, I feel like I have no control at all, and I can't see anything.

Yeah that's another reason, seeing what's behind you and shit.

I keep the seats in all of my vehicles set to a close approximation of a "race" setting (close to the wheel & pedals and upright). The hours I've spent in a race car make me feel less than comfortable in a "relaxed" seat position on the street.

what is this adjustment

In the race car we have it set reclined at a comfortable angle, but nice and close to the steering wheel and pedals. Everything is just at the right distance to grab and reach, not to far away, and the pedals are close enough yet far enough so we can maneuver around the pedals, or rest them on the cage/foot rest. We also use a more ergonomic seat, buddy club p1. And because its not FIA spec, we also have a brace on it.

only time it gets adjusted is on long road trips otherwise the driver's seats in all my vehicles are pretty straight-backed.

I typically recline 1 to 2 clicks for street from my auto-x position.

sometimes one click back too.

Every now and then I drive my car hard on the streets (when safe!) so the relaxed seat position doesn't work for me.

For the past two years I drove around on the street using the track driving/seat position. Over the weekend someone else drove my car and adjusted the seat. He's the same height and build as me, so I thought it weird that he changed the settings, then I realized it was set for track use. I really like the "relaxed" position that the guy set, but am wondering if I am doing myself a disservice by not using the track setting. Thoughts?

How many of you that drive your HPDE car on the street use your track driving/seat position on the street, too?
