    Always interesting listening to a pro. Abit about left foot braking would be good as it’s a complete alien feeling to a beginner who has never tried it. 👍

    Great to see some SIM stuff Dan, would be cool to see full laps of BTCC tracks with lines techniques etc.

    Excellent video Dan! Always enjoy your vlogs, this for me personally was fascinating, I am a huge racing fan but complete novice with no track experience, so to hear your knowledge and advice is really interesting. Please do a follow up to this, possibly with onboard footage if possible. Keep up the great work! 👍

    Great idea to do this vid - really enjoyed it! Any insights on how you judge the level of grip and how to drive to it would be very interesting… experience suggests I’m either far below it, or well over it 😅 All the best for a cracking 2023 season 💪

    Many thanks for the video! I have a BMW e36 compact for track days and there are a lot of videos available about drifting what I am not interresting in. I love rear wheel drive but would like to get ridd of my bad habits and improve my sport driving. Would you post a video specific on RWD technic?

    I'm glad to hear I'm using the same braking technique being used by a pro driver, a lot of my mates on trackdays seem to be 100% on/off the brakes, like a switch. They get a faster entry into the corner but I seem to hold a bit more cornering speed, whether this is because the car feels more planted or not I don't know. I've had a few free tuition sessions at trackdays in the past few years and my braking and hand position is never mentioned, mainly that my lines are bit off. (Usually because I'm at a new track and don't know where I'm going!) Have you got any plans to offer tuition at any trackdays this year with the big TDOs?

  • @DLRTV23

    100% on / off the brake is certainly not the right thing to do! It will be slower and less consistent! Keep doing what you're doing! :) I've only got personal tuition days booked in this year so far. I'm not that keen jumping in 20 different cars a day, I'd rather spend proper time with someone throughout the day.

    Hi Dan! I would be interested in finding out if you used braking points at Thruxton. Obviously there arent many places to brake but do you use reference points for turning in at say, Church and Goodwood? Look forward to seeing you on track this season

  • @notoriousMrP
    @notoriousMrP Жыл бұрын

    Great tips , 1 question I have for you but race related is , 3/4 through a race does the weight of the car fuel load decrease that much that the car braking points/ references change by a lot ? Obviously lighter car means less inertia and less braking but do you just brake less hard or brake later ?
