looks like you had fun
the first video, is that you? odd steering wheel action - looks like you 'pull' the wheel down rather than 'pushing' it over, if you know what i mean i steer like the dude in the TS, always hangin off the top of the wheel feels good man

Fun fun fun ... sure was!
I do drive at the bottom of the wheel ... right hand between 3 and 4 o'clock and left between 8 and 9. Bit unconventional but it works for me. I first started to drive that way (when pushinbg hard) back in the 70s when power steering was very over assisted and found I had better control and feedback ... and I grip with just two fingers. If my hands ever do go over the top of the wheel it's because I have far more opposite lock than I was planning!!! LOL. The guy in the B Series was on his Ls I think - he did the same thing to me again in another session. He was black flagged once and had the riot act laid down to him so I was told by someone else who he almost took out. Later in the day he came good to his credit. There's a short video of him in the Falcons > Contemporary section. On the day I was affectionately calling him the HULK. ![]() |

Yeah, Ride is just a young'n. My ol' body is nudging the "senior" category - still a teenager in the head!
In normal driving your hands should not be above mid wheel ie. 3 and 9; (this is specially important today with cars that have driver's air bag) except when parking; or in an emergency steering control like controlling a slide. |

That may have been told to you 7 years ago but it was wrong then and still is now. In the "real old days" when I was instructing we always taught 10/2 or 9/3. Nowadays it is definitely NEVER above the wheel centre on cars with air bags.

Its funny which way you get taught how to hang on,i did a Peter Brock driving course about 20 years ago and he taught 10 & 2 then,but things do change,i wonder which position he would teach now if still alive.
