Posture, and head movement

Hi. I’ve been watching my own latest racing vids and noticed that I tend to move (a lot) my head on every bend. How much of that would affect my driving and the centre of gravity of the chassis? I checked several WSK races and the top guys don’t do it as much. They stay straight. I uncounciously do it and not liking it at all. Also, it seems they keep their arms pushing towards the front of the kart. Is that right? Any good advices?

We went through a lot of stuff there and how to sit in a kart. If you’re holding on to the wheel so hard you may also want to look at the conditioning stuff. I believe @Trey_Shannon knows a lot on this, but an article is also here that covers some stuff:

Driver fitness and training

I am interested in reading what other drivers do over the winter to stay/get in shape for the upcoming season. I am fortunate to have access to Pitfit, the facility a lot of the Indycar guys use. I plan on working with them after the new year. Please chime in with your program.
