I've been practicing shuffle steering, but now I'm being told not to do that, but instead hold at 9 and 3  I assume a well-rounded driver knows each technique and applies them in the proper situation.
I still need major work on turn in, specifically on turns 1 and 10; and work on throttle application on corner exit. My instructor tells me I can push 10 more mph in turn 1, but i feel the front drivers tire is at max grip and beginning to plow.
I experienced fuel starve mid turn 3 and turn 9  #almostkilledmyself (not in the video). Talk about terrifying. Time to give phunk a call. After it happened, as soon as i noticed 2 "dots" missing on the gauge, I'd begin my cool down laps and pit. The extra few laps weren't worth wrecking/causing someone else to wreck/causing injury.
Any input/advice is appreciated! |
Finally got to watch some of your video, Crux.
I see a lot of wheel movement mid-corner. You need to work on avoiding that - pick your steering angle, and use your throttle to steer the car. Also, your hand shuffling is a bit awkward...you're doing it right as you begin turning your wheel. May want to do it before you actually begin your turn-in...
Also, you're kinda dogging the car out in a high gear. You were taking corners that were clearly 2nd gear corners, in 3rd or even 4th sometimes it seemed. Just what it felt like, to me.
That's about all I had.
