I kind of like the 2 finger approach, but that approach is certainly better on the fingers just in case you spin or wreck. I keep waiting for these guys to realize that a steering wheel spinner **** is totally the way to go.



Lets get one made in CF......

Remember Lesson #1? The line happening behind us? That's the first lesson in Mental Telemetry. You can ONLY learn this from me - don't bother googling it - even "pro" coaches either can't or won't teach this, because once you learn this, you will never need a coach again. I’ve already provided the foundation. Quit regurgitating that beginner for-the-masses junk, this is next level ****
Do you have any videos where you're more than 30% so we can learn more?

I've never seen 10 / 10ths in my car and my car has never seen it even with a certain pro factory driver laying down some flyers in it, well because it's not his and he's not wanting to ball it up.

of course in my head I'm always 10/10ths and thats what matters right?

I took a hot lap in a CTSV race car driven by Andy Pilgrim at Summit Point main. He was at 90 percent in a full tub race car, his hands did not flit around the wheel and spin around. Guess he was doing it all wrong. Yeaaaaa

Good to hear from you...and nice car! When the 997 GTS came out it was relatively competitive – now camaros can spank it. The 991.2 GTS is the car to get!


Agreed!

Uh…anybody can drive slow? You drive like grandma, I feel asleep in 3 seconds.

Let's play Horse! I challenge you to slide FULL throttle, THROW the steering wheel into full lock, and then USE the snap to straighten the inertia with ZERO overcorrection. Do all of this while staying on line. I won’t even ask you to put some shift buttons on your steering wheel, or cut open one of your fingers. Hell, I’ll even let you do it in a parking lot with no trees. If you can't produce a video replicating car control, you have NO right to say anything about car control. Should I just give you the H now?

you're like watching a train wreck about to happen.. I'll just sit back enjoy the popcorn.
Sorry I'm not off line and all over the road, yet I'm producing consistent lap times while driving at the cars limit.

I'll await for the post when you total your car with your reckless driving. It will happen and it is only a matter of time.

Show me one video where you are smooth on the line consistent and fast!?!?how about that?

Btw little hint, I'm faster than you and safer to everyone else on the track . Because I'm not all over the place.

Than again youre senna , yup we got it lol .

While I think pkf's driving is dog****, you aren't exactly the shining of example of proper track driving either. While you are safe, you turn in so late most of the time that your track out is several feet away from the edge of the track. You may think this is the car's limit, but its 100% not even close.

sorry.

His driving IS really sloppy. The bigger issue here is he some how things he's on the same level of Senna, Schumacher, Vettel and Hamilton when it comes to driving abilities. And the more you try to talk to him... the more delusional he gets...

If you ever got to see or will see pro drivers in an actual race or even practice in person....or get a ride with one....you get to see how much better they really are, and how you will never be that good.

There is a personality type that believes that even though what they are doing has been explored and tested many times by experts, yet dismissed as not the best way to do the activity, the individual has invented a new way. They believe that they are doing it with slight differences, and that's why it works for them, where all before them failed.
In aviation, where our environment is extremely error intolerant, we call people with this personality "dead."

Crester - thanks for the video post of Michael - it says it all and defines why he was such a great driver.

Crester - I agree as well. Great to see that clip about Shumi, and it just goes to show how important those excessive steering inputs can be. That's next level ****.
