So much better things to war over… let's talk about Octane levels OR Auto VS DSG VS Manuals… or Red cars Vs Silver in getting speeding tickets.

BTW, I drive both ways, I guess I'm 'bi'.

What position do race car drivers hold their hands? Specifically rally drivers on the public road stages.

Massachusetts Steering Wheel Grip Position Guidelines (I believe these can be found in the MA Motor Vehicle regulations):

1) Light touch of left hand fingers at 12 (sometimes at 6) with elbow placed on window sill (optional);

2) Right hand either a) holding a cel phone while texting or web surfing, b) holding an appropriate foodstuff with soft drink cup placed in the crotch area held in place by legs or c) an item being utilized from the cosmetics application category.
a), b) and c) may be deployed together in any combination desired.

Note: If both hands are engaged in any (or all) of the above, knees may be utilized to operate the steering wheel for a continuous period of time not to exceed 10 minutes.

Also, unrelated but as long as we're at it:
MA Lane of Travel Requirements:

Left Lane: travel lane (must be under the posted speed limit to use)
Right Lane: passing lane
Center Lane: driver's choice
Note: Turn signals are discouraged and should only be used if planning to leave them on after a lane change for a minimum 10 miles of travel.

That sounds like it was taken from the "Chicago" chapter of the Illinois driver's handbook

Does Audi promote 9&3 by only heating these parts of the steering wheel?
