LOL good catch!
I used to LFB all the time to warm the brakes; doesn't work well when you grab brakes instead of clutch.

You've got the "splayed out arms from the 1930s look", and that's not good for car control.


I think it's simply the wide angle lens. but John can clarify

Seat position, steering wheel position, pedal position are what they are... arms feel comfortable but what do I know? I did bring the shifter lever back toward me a bit &its better now....
Still using lfb to manage tight distance at start but learned my lesson on this one. Back at Watkins Glen this weekend....
