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 to the right, or just scroll through the pages and pages…), but if not, you can email it to me (use the big red button to the right).
Q: Should I turn left slightly before turning right into a corner, using what some call a “Scandinavian flick”?
Q: How can I learn to deal with a driver who mentally and physically attacks me when racing wheel-to-wheel?
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?
