I can only presume for a practice that's ok but in real track situations it will vary turn by turn and you won't hit elbow everytime.

Well, the fundamentals of body position stay the same. So we could start by breaking down what good body position is to start with and then discuss how to best keep that body position while transitioning between turns and riding through different corners.

So you say that using the legs and core to stabilize and relax the upper body completely in a turn. That's good. That is absolutely fundamental in regards to body position - in that you are creating a stable lower body by using the legs to squeeze the tank so that the arms can remain relaxed. Yes. What are some other fundamentals of good body position? for example, why do riders even lean off the bike in the first place?
