I do wear driving gloves. Some feedbacks from the veterans are me going through a slalom like 'W' instead of "S", i guess i need to relax a bit and smooth out my input. correct me if i'm wrong, but i feel like those are related somehow.

If you find yourself sliding around in the seat, you may be unwittingly bracing yourself using the steering wheel, too. Our seats are decent, but on another car I greatly reduced soreness after the event by adding a harness. CG-Lock or additional lap belt might help, too. |
Yah i guess i'm gorilla-griping the wheel. i tend to seat myself in pretty tight using the 'slide back, pull seatbelt and lock and slide forward' trick. i'll look into harness tho. thanks!
