In the Porsche performance driving school and subsequent Autocross races I learned that when driving hard a more close in seat position is actually less strain
and more comfortable over longer periods that my usual laid back, arms length position.

You sit closer and more upright with your elbows bent at the 3 and 9 positions and its surprisingly more comfortable when you are driving the twisty's.

I have become accustomed to it now and drive that way on the daily commute as well.

At 5'11" and 220lbs the seat fits like a glove and I feel one with the car.
