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
