How you hold and turn the steering wheel has a huge impact on how fast you’ll be able to drive. Drive and turn with your hands at the 9 & 3 o’clock position.
Driving fast requires the use of both sides of your brain, and there are “exercises” you can do to help integrate it.
Squirting out of the 120-degree right-hander, I stretch second gear to redline, accelerating hard, flicking the shifter up to third, foot buried to the floor, and catch fourth gear just before my reference point, the change in pavement surface: A good corner exit.
My advice to you is to drive as many different types of cars as you possibly can, and even look for ways to drive where you wouldn’t normally. For example, if you’re a road racer, try ovals, rallying or drifting. All will make you a better road racer. Variety is the spice of life, right?
