Normal driving is far back and down, performance is a different thing.

I'm very far up to where my knees has a serious bend. I have the seat up to where my helmet is almost touching the roof of the car. I put the back of the seat as straight as possible and the base of the seat at an incline so my thighs rest on the seat.

This puts my hands resting on the steering wheel. If I put my hands straight out it rests on top of the steering wheel at about my forearm. This creates a nice bend in my arms for easy steering.
Someone like me, who is 6'4", and has a longer torso and shorter legs (I wear about a 32 inseam) finding the right driving position can be very difficult.

If only we were all built the same.
