I fail to see the advantage of fixed grip. Is that because there isn't one?
In a series of sweeping bends where the driver does not need to steer beyond 12-o-clock with the hands at quarter to three, there is a significant advantage in as much as the steering input is more direct and the hands will return to quarter to three when the steering is straightened.
