- I'm an intermediate level autocrosser running in CSP. I'm looking for some insight on driving technique. Now I know that most cars turn better to the left (weight of driver, etc.). I've noticed that

- One small point is this. Most mortal drivers feel more confident as to how close they can get to the apex cone on a left turn, than they do on a right turn. Unless you are pretty sure where you are r

- Jay, It sounds like you already have a good handle on this and you are probably moments away from a solution yourself. But here goes: When turning left your body is closer to the apex and you see the

- Just a guess, but this might have something to do with looking ahead. Novices have a lot of trouble with looking ahead at all. Intermediates, once they get the idea, do a pretty good job of looking a

- Do you seem to run better with a passenger? If so try doing what I did. I always seems to have my best run with a passenger (even with the extra weight). Was it the "showoff factor" or the right side

- I did an intermediate school a few months ago in which I did about 10 runs with a passenger (instructor). Didn't seem to make any discernible difference. It seems that I'm far more precise turning le

- First off, you have to just get yourself used to the fact that your car will lean WAY more in right turns (or at least it will feel that way). Negotiating a long right requires some guts, mostly for
