Got questions? I’ve got answers. This is where I post answers to the many questions I receive. You may find the answer to a question you have here (you can use the “Search” tool), but if not, you have two options:
- If you want the answer immediately, sign up for my SpeedSecrets.ai app (think of it as “Google on steroids, focused solely on performance/race driving,” or “ChatGPT trained to only pull from the 5 million+ words and content I’ve personally created”)
- If you can wait until I get to your question, email it to me.
Q: My lap timer is taking the fun out of driving, but I want to learn to use it to help me be a better driver. How can I do that?
Q: Is it true that I should begin applying the throttle at the apex of every corner?
Q: How do I know whether to use a curb or not?
Q: How can I learn faster, instead of taking an entire day on track to “get it”?
Q: What are your thoughts on how competitive an older driver can be with younger drivers?
Q: Which is faster, a shorter distance or a higher speed through a corner?
Q: Will lighter and longer braking help my brakes last longer than harder and shorter?
Q: What is the special trick to getting the car to rotate entering a corner?
Q: How can I get better at taking fast corners at full throttle? Do I need a psychologist to help me do this?!
Q: What are the pros and cons of driving a high-powered car if I usually drive a low-powered one?
