Most drivers tend to veer in the direction of whatever they're looking at. Although the position of the wall to the apex makes that one a bit tricky, focus down the straight, not at the wall.

Your call on whether or not the cost of insurance is worth mitigating the risk. I'd probably go for it, but everyone is different.

Thanks for the advice! I learned early on in auto-x that your hands will steer where your eyes are looking (seems like common sense now..) Also looking ahead..

Someone said this in an old thread "keep your confidence one level behind your skill level and you'll be fine."

I'll see what they will quote me first.

It's impossible to match whiteout/CWP! Even 90% body shops can't match it, do you think, vinyl can match it? lol

yeah, not positive but I thought i saw them promote paint matched wraps on their IG. Paint matched ones for everyone would be tight . Maybe hit them up and see
