When I am playing my racing sims I find myself doing some massive leaning from side to side to mimic the behavior of the car on screen...not mimic body roll but mimic the yaw angle of the car..

Anyone else do the same? :D

Yup, been noticing myself doing this while playing F1 with the steering wheel. I don't think that I do it with the controller unless I'm really trying....although my tongue will usually be poking out :D

I seem to nail apexes better when I do it!

Yup, big time. I was racing at an oval (Milwaukee Mile) and was almost falling out of my chair because I was leaning over so far.

I guess I was trying to "influence" the car harder into the turn. I'm usually pretty still n road courses. It's the short ovals that get me leaning.

I don`t lean so much but can usually be caught with my mouth wide open :)

I do small facial expressions and a little bit of leaning. But, especially when racing online, I try to keep my composure and relax. I don't know why I bother though, because I seem to race better when I'm full of adrenaline and going hell for leather :D

A lean a little but I tend to shout at the car more than anything.

Same - when I hit a bump or start a roll or anything like that I flinch or duck!

It’s really important to compare the unique skill with other competitors. I tried it once, but sooner I come to realize that I can’t do it in a way to improve my game.
