Q: Should a coach talk a lot or little when in-car with me?
Q: “Is it a golden rule in coaching to prioritize quality and minimize advice for maximum impact? Or am I mistaken, and are there some very good coaches who talk a lot during sessions?”
Q: Should drivers “point-by” other cars when racing wheel to wheel?
Q: “During a race, should ‘point-bys’ be used to help with an overtake?”
Q: Should I adjust brake bias during a race? How do I know when to adjust brake bias?
Q: “I am having trouble with brake bias adjustment. During a stint, are you supposed to advance the bias toward the front or toward the rear?”
Q: Should I always brake as late and hard as I can for every corner? Is there ever a reason for braking lighter?
Q: “If you started braking lighter at the same place entering a corner, wouldn’t that suggest that you’re not quite at the limit under braking? And wouldn’t that make you slower because you don’t have the car at the limit?”
Q: Should I always start accelerating at the apex of a corner?
Q: “A little debate going on regarding a rule of thumb on when to accelerate. I’m of the belief that you accelerate when at the apex and you can start to unwind the wheel. Am I being too simplistic? I’ve studied a number of pro driver’s videos and they all seem to be consistent in acceleration when they start to unwind.”
