It's all about the centre of gravity! (It probably makes no difference at all to a road car, but for me it's comfy)

I was on a BMW experience last year and the circuit instructor said nothing about me dropping the seat to the floor.

In that event I had a passenger seat run in a race prepped M235 with a pro touring car driver at the wheel (which was fecking awesome btw.. the grip from slicks is something else) and my seat was bolted to the floor, so there must be something in the low seating position.

As for seeing the corners of the car.. I can never see the corners no matter how high I am, I get a feel where the corners are through driving the thing.. I thought everyone did that
