Mike,

This past weekend at VIR, my instructor made some suggestions in regards to my steering inputs. Specifically, he was noting that I was giving too much input on initial turn in and then using the throttle (and some steering) to make my way through the rest of the turn. I believe that this could have been the cause of some understeer on initial turn in as well, but I was on new tires and camber plates for the first time so it could be due to that as well.

Tire temps were within 1-2 degrees of each other across the inside, middle and outside and pressures were ~38 hot. I'm on Goodyear Eagle F1's with stock suspension and Raceseng CamCas plates, with ~ -3 degrees of camber up front and -1 in the rears and an extra degree of caster up front. Only other mods are pads, lines and fluid.

I wish I had in car video to show you, but my question is how can I work on slowing my inputs down and make my steering more linear, both on and off track? And what might be some signs that I am turning in too much initially (ie loud tires, understeer, etc)? Thanks!
