If you want to improve your lap times and take your track driving skills to the next level, start with your hands. The 9 and 3 steering wheel position is the gold standard in high-performance driving and motorsport racing — and here’s why.

This grip gives you maximum car control by allowing equal push-and-pull steering through every turn. On the race track, precision matters. With your hands locked at 9 and 3, you can navigate almost every corner without letting go, keeping your steering inputs smooth and predictable.

Less hand movement = smoother steering = faster lap times. It’s that simple. Whether you’re racing at Lime Rock Park, New Jersey Motorsport Park, or your local motorsports circuit, mastering the 9 and 3 grip will help you drive faster, safer, and with more consistency.

At Burnout Motorsport, we believe driver technique is the foundation of speed. Stay planted. Stay smooth. Flow through every corner like a pro — and watch your lap times drop.
