That's one area of improvement for my driving. The car turns in nicely on the brakes as can be seen at Crystal Palace. The reason I sometimes hit the throttle on the way in is I've slowed down too much and I instinctively jump n the throttle. It's completely wrong, but it's something I'm aware of and working towards resolving. I don't get much seat time, so learning the tracks is often tricky. I did 62 minutes in total behind the wheel this year on 4 different circuits, so finding the right braking point is tricky. The nature of sprinting is that you're against the clock on your third lap. Two timed practice runs (usually 1 lap, sometimes 1.75 laps) in the morning are usually followed by two timed (again, usualy a lap) runs that count for the result in the afternoon. I'm inexperienced with both the car and the circuits as it was my first time at most of the tracks this year and I only competed in this car in one event prior to 2011. I hope to improve dramatically in 2012...
WOW!
that is very little time to learn so much that you need. Maybe forget spending time and money altering the car and use the budget just to get to track days to practise practise practise!!
