I want to be really smooth at everything before I get into my family's FR-S. From what I heard, the bite point is really high which is intimidating so I want to be confident before trying it.
Well feel free to PM me any time. We could do a few sessions in the Hyundai until you get the hang of it and feel comfortable, then I'd be happy to also help you transition to the FR-S. It's rewarding to help someone who really wants to learn and is grateful for, and pays attention to, advice they get from others

turn the car on, engage clutch and put in first. EVER SO SLOWLY start removing your foot off the clutch and your car will start to roll. Keep removing your foot slowly until completely off.
This is *exactly* how we'll start out if Veloist wants to learn from me
