- Go slow where you are supposed to go slow, and fast where you are supposed to go fast. Many people make the mistake of trying to blister through corners that need to be taken at slow speeds to maximize corner exit speed. Going in too hot will kill your exit speed.
- Remember that the gas pedal is not an on-off switch. Practice throttle modulation and you'll be able to transition the car better through the course which will result in faster times.
- Lastly, remember that just because the car sounds loud, does not mean that it's fast. Don't be afraid to shift gears. I've seen a lot of beginners leave the car in first gear thinking that it's faster because it sounds loud, but most of the time your better off in second gear. As you progress and get better, you'll learn when to shift back into first and when not to.
Have fun and good luck!  |
