Why???
It's not like the steering wheel and gearstick are something that causes blisters and callouses, and they look kind of freaky, especially them black leather ones

The older generation like them for some reason, maybe it makes them feel like Sir Stirling Moss. Yes

There are a few points for competition/track :
Stop blisters
Improve grip
Stop them being burnt off in a fire

I guess the others come from days when heating didn't exist in cars.

This. In the old days you *had* to have them because cars were open so your hands would freeze off. If you're a racing driver, it's because they're fireproof.

If you wear them and you're neither a racing driver or an Edwardian, you're a twat. That is all. Like one of those people who's at a £80 airfield trackday in a standard Civic in a full Sparco race suit and those stupid fairy ballerina plimsolls, trying to avoid walking on stones as it's so painful on his poor footsies.

The only time I would *ever* consider looking that much of a wally was if I had fuel lines running inside the car and risked actually being on fire, which I cannot imagine to be a pleasant experience.

The man's got a point. You wouldn't want to burn your candle wick.

    if i was inside a burning car i'd do my best to sit there really calm as if nothing was wrong and try to read a newspaper or adjust the stereo. i think that would be funny to look at from an external point of view

    Worryingly, this was my first thought too. Burnt off face = probably no sex anymore. No hands either? Kill self.
