Which is a very common seating position for many race car drivers... Just look at the NASCAR drivers and many other touring car series.

Like in V8 Supercars (Australia)



And in DTM (Germany)



And in the M235i cup in the VLN series at Nurburgring (Gebhardt raced a M235i at the 24h race in 2015)



Or the BMW M4 GTS driver here:

I wish my steering wheel would come out further than it does. I don't need to be that close but as a 6'-1" adult with slightly long legs the steering wheel is always so far away unless I jam my knees against the lower dash and have awkward pedal placement.
