And the end of last season I started to do some more focused training. I knew my problem was my approach to corners, so I started focusing on that, and kinda take it slow on the fast corners and straights. I wouldn't say I got faster, but I make less mistakes on those 180 turns that where killing me before. I would come in to hot, or com in just to early and get the inner wheel hung up on the corner marker.

It doesn't feel faster, but because of the fewer mistakes it is. Last race I made it through a 15 minute 1/4 final only having to be marshaled once. Big improvement for me.


I would say, deconstruct a lap round your track and see where you can improve. Maybe even get someone to take some video of your efforts. Watching video of my own driving has helped me identify some bad habits that needed attention.
