Think of any
hypothetical situation you
may encounter, e.g high-speed
under-/over steer, pursuit driving. Driving
through intersections , driving under adverse
conditions weather, congested traffic, road construction
Driving in peak times on interstates. Level crossing Changing lanes
turn signals and appropriate use of horn engine modifications,
suspension tweaks, or sticky tires. And we don't mean
a new superhacker powertrain control module chip
Upgrading the organic software, also known as
the loose nut behind the steering wheel
the shoe, chauffeur, pilot, driver.
You look Up and Live
Select a mark-
perhaps a water spot-a little
more than halfway up the windshield. When
you're hustling a car it's far more important how and
at what speed the brakes are released than how late into
the corner they're applied. Look ahead and select a point where
you want to stop. Make one smooth brake application until
you reach a pedal pressure that will bring you to a stop
at that point and, for this exercise, maintain that
level. Seamless: A passenger shouldn't
be able to tell when the disc break
touch the rotors
Note how
the car settles on its
front suspension as its weight
shifts forward: Does it sink gently and
stay there or does it bounce up and down at higher
force traction. A skill vital for everything from quick racetrack
laps to preventing motion sickness. Are your steering inputs smooth
or jerky? Can you negotiate a constant-radius corner with one
motion of the wheel. Advanced drivers can try increasing-
rate turn-ins for tight corners; this requires turning
the wheel slowly for the first portion of its travel,
then seamlessly transitioning to a quicker
steering rate as the maximum angle
for the turn is approached. This
smoothly rolls the car onto
its outside suspension and
the tires onto their
sidewalls,
preparing both to
accept cornering forces
