While knowing tricks like aiming for inside the apex and letting the car understeer are important, they are for the advanced group.

Steering input and turn in/brake reference points shouldn’t change just because you have less grip.. only the speed

And one of the most important aspects of learning to drive on the track is driving within the tire’s limits.So starting out with a low grip tire will have you learn that at a lower speed.

If you need grip to drive “correctly,”then you’ve never learned to drive correctly in the first place (with all due respect).

Reread my post.

It clearly states that FOR ME , (not someone who doesn't know how to drive.)

Slippery tires got in the way of ME not effectively getting accurate smooth lines to the apexes due to the car pointing in the wrong directions during controlled slides.

The stock, slippery tires are a good way to learn drifting.

Many instructors I have seen have had no teaching training and fail to observe and learn whether the student is an auditory, visual, or kinesthetic learner and apply the wrong teaching methods to the needs of the student, (saw that again at Mosport last week with a seasoned fast tracker and an Apex instructor).

Хорошо ?
