Maybe this is a different situation than HPDE or track driving. I rode with an instructor around their road course auto-x in Limerock. The instructor is a pro-rally driver. In a MX-5 Miata, he used shuffle steering, and sometimes used only the finger tips and held on to the bottom of the wheel. (At that time, I did not know any better to ask why.) Does rally driving or auto-x differs from DE driving as far as holding on to the steering wheel then?

by driving with your fingertips, 9, 3 or whatever, you learn to feel the grip of your front wheel/ tires. The death grip (white knockles) mutes the feedback. Try it now with your eyes closed........... ALL your other senses become more acute. hock::dude::dude: No kidding, but don't try this at home, it may be bad for your health.
