Holy Crap, Batman:
All of this "information" is designed to provoke thought, with the idea of learning something, applying something, in order to assist in becoming a better, (faster), safer driver......I guess what I am really learning, in here, is not to present these types of questions.............bummer

You guys have fun with that...........but , its not "sort of " like that at all. I only made an observation of Senna's "fun" "TV" lap in the NSX. If you think that is the fastest way around the track. i would sure like to hear how, sliding and pushing is faster than not sliding and pushing...... (contrary to the Pho-bee's assessment)

Funny. Maybe it`s just semantics but none of these concepts are mumbo-jumbo in the ski world. Ted Ligety - aka `Mr. GS` - has returned to racing after several injuries and recently has been talking about how to shorten the corner like some of his competitors have done during his absence. And the fastest downhillers have always initiated the turn with absolutely minimal edge angles just ahead of others to gain early deflection with minimal scrub. Same stuff.
Hard to coach these subtle skills/tactics unless both people in the conversation deeply know what the words represent. Gibberish to one person can be magic to another. Been there, done that.
And IMHO I think that obsession with data has overridden the equal importance of coaching the `feel` - kinesthetics for the driver and dynamics for the car. The best coach is the one who can link our subjective physical experience to the data and descriptive physics and explain the `why` and `how` with the most clarity

What are we going to do when AI kicks our (wet-brain) asses in every car on every track, just like it did in chess and go? These things can probably "learn" a car-track combo in ten laps.
