Your learning curve is the very same mindset. One step at a time, partial throttle, partial braking, partial turn in and lead out of turns. Do any of those things quickly, and you'll see that repeating line #1 was not just a brain tease.


4: Basics, basic, basics, just like you once learned to walk, talk, eat solid foods, the same goes for driving a high HP, short wheelbase Cobra (real or replica).


Congratulations and good luck with it.
