diff to your advantage to "pull" your nose into the corner while you're
still braking and gearing down.
Don't worry. It's possible. I am not fast by any stretch of the imagination,
but you really *can* hit corners much faster than seems reasonable. (Kind of
like Arthur Dent's speedometer simply reading R3!)
|I am having a bit of difficulty adapting to the driving style that seems to

before

the

|braking and downshifting is done before entering the turn, and the throttle

|slowing for the turns, although for me this style gives the best
|results...for me.Watching others drive the same tracks and the same lines,
|but braking later, has caused me to try it, with less than stellar
|results.(Lots of ripped up grass).Any opinions on whether I should try to

|more.....any comments appreciated, Ed
