Interview with Allan McNish (ex Formula 1 driver, Le Mans winner, etc, so he is the real deal). This video shows how good of instructors we have.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-U-2WNfv5w Start from 11:20. Talks about hands, driving positons, where your hands should be, how you should hold the steering wheel. At around 15:00, he talks about not forcing the car in a turn, and letting it go wide (use the track). This is exactly like at Turn 3a at Pacific Raceways. 15:40 talks about feet and braking, and weight transfer. 19:50 talks about suspension setup. 21:45 looking ahead. 25:10 being one with the car (from feedback to seating). |

Excellent interview!
I guess this guy does not text and drive what he was saying about driving ahead is soooo true. |

I wish there was a local MINI Dealership, like our Honda, Subaru, Mazada and VW.
