Autobahn Country Club North Track, Secret Fast Line Through Turn 1 & 2
http://www.separationofcontrols.com Compromise the slower corner for the faster one; turn 1 at Autobahn Country Club North is 85mph apex speed at 1G cornering—significantly fast—and time is saved by maximizing the effective radius (Largest Possible Radius, LPR) and sacrificing a "traditional" line through turn 2, the slowest corner on North Circuit.
99% of drivers take a "traditional" left-side entry, late apex to turn 1, costing time.
Watch as the Porsche ahead compromises N1 to set up a traditional turn-in for N2, sacrificing the LPR in N1, and we gain significantly, retaining that time gain through to N3.
Conclusion: Maximize your performance through faster corners even compromising a slower corner if that's what it takes. The most important corner on any given circuit is the fastest corner (assuming you're grip limited).

WRX vs. F430 vs. GTR
My 250 HP WRX versus cars that are a lot more powerful and a lot more expensive at Thunderhill Raceway. It was a lot of fun - still have lots to learn about driving fast. Thanks to Hooked on Driving for a great event.

Hot Laps at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca
Two hot laps in my Factory Five Cobra during the Hooked On Driving, Corkscrew Invitational, September 18-19, 2010. This was one of the unrestricted sound events for the year and to drive my street car with some well prepped race cars was a blast! The BMW, Porsche, HOD drivers, shifter Karts (wow) and Nor-Cal Shelby clubs were invited.
Race Car Driver Lessons
Are you still wondering how you can learn race driving online? I want to emphasize, there are actually hundreds of things you need to learn and understand before you ever attempt to get behind the wheel of a race car. Being able to drive on the street only means you know how to "operate" a car. Compare race driving to flight training. Before you ever get in the cockpit of a airplane, you train at what is called "Ground School". Our training is a "Ground School" to prepare you to drive on a race track.
