Just follow me at ZDayZ.

Tro lo lo

...really? You won't lead me off the side of a precipice?

I'll take you to the edge and back.

I started doing this every time I take a ramp now :icon17:

Then everything we have listed is what you want.

In all honesty, if you want to learn some basics, feel free to come up sometime, and we'll just go drive around. You can learn plenty on public roads without being in danger.

I just pictured two Z cars going over a cliff.

Corner entry, and smooth inputs are something you can always practice, too. Also, "driving with your fingertips".

I may just take you up on that. If I do, I promise to pay you handsomely in snickerdoodles.

Deal.

Only for the parts where Steve stays on the road. You can attempt to Steve it if you dare, but this is not recommended.

You're probably right. If we were in superior Mustangs we'd trot right back on the road.

The safe word is "rainbow."

Be very weary of a Bobo that wants to teach you to do something "with your finger tips."

BOOM.

"RIP, Aniceh: she Steef-ed it"

Just the tip(s)!

Been doing some of that as well.

...or died trying.

:inoutroflpuke:

I almost spit wine all over my desk when I read this.

To Steve it is to return from certain death unscathed.

To Shahid it is to inflict repairable damage.

Should Aniceh fail to Steve it, she will have Aniceh'd it. :tup:

I'd prefer to come up with a more positive, yet still unfathomably strange, meaning for any verb associated with my name.

:iagree:

:iagree:

Clearly that had not gone unnoticed by me.

this...

I live my life by that motto

:iagree: AutoX can be a good learning environment, as it is usually flat and you have time to come to a stop and regroup if you get lost. I would recommend that you ask someone to give you a ride in their car on the course at speed before your runs.

The HPDE environment is exciting and nerve wracking the first time. Just know that everyone is there for the same reason, to get to know their cars better and improve their skills. Your instructor will keep you out of trouble and walk you through the lines, braking points and track management. You can watch some videos of the track you will be on, and ask those of us who have been on the specific tracks for best practices for specific turns. You will start in the novice group and can leave the electronic driver aids on until you are more comfortable with you abilities and the car. You will not be the fastest on the track, but that IS NOT what those events are about.

More to come later. I'm sure this topic will come up at meets, at ZDayZ and any opportunity that you want to talk about it. Those of us who have done them a lot, or newbies all have something to provide that you can process as part of your learning experience. Be careful and have fun!

:iagree:

:tiphat: Thanks!

:iagree: Situational awareness could be practiced any time you are behind the wheel. Practice, practice, practice...

If you drive fast enough you don't have to be aware of your situation.

:driving: :gtfo2:

In Soviet Russia, car drives you!
