Well, I can't speak for racing drivers, but I prefer to sit very close to the wheel in my road car, which obviously means I'm quite close to the pedals. I'm not sure why, I just feel like I'm in the boot if I'm much further back and don't feel so in control of the car. I've driven cars with no power steering and with power steering and, for me, on the road, it changes nothing; I still want to be pretty close to the wheel, which a few people have found strange, as I'm quite long in the legs. It's all personal preference I guess.
