Pardon me, I cannot repeat hundreds or at least dozens of pages.
Believe me, this book IS worth reading it (for guys like you and me).

In (extremely) short:
fast in, fast through, fast out. You don't have to be slow anywhere.  :driver:

No doubt this man knows how to drive really fast. And he is one of the
very pure racing professionals telling about details.

If you still believe the old "slow in, fast out" story and want to learn
more you sadly have to spend these 25 Pounds. It's peanuts compared
to the mods you've done to your car.

 :drinking:

....But I wasn't asking you to repeat dozens of pages.

I don't think that race car driving techniques are a good idea on roads with such a range of other drivers.  :happy2:

Slow in, fast out. That means you can drive quickly and still be safe on public roads.

Too much speed into a corner on a public road is a recipe for disaster.

Honestly spoken you don't need anything of these advices on public roads.

I thought we talk about track driving.  :wink:


ps: I still strongly recommend reading this book - it also had really good reviews

May I chip in here guys?

It doesn't matter what bend you take or how fast/slow you go into it, through it or out of it, if you have a diff fitted you should easily be able to tell the difference!

The pull you feel with a LSD is unmistakable when compared to a car without one.

Mike, go and "test drive" a stock Leon Cupra and then jump back into yours (yes I know you have other suspension mods too) you should notice within a few sharpish bends or roundabouts. :happy2:

How does cleaning, polishing, waxing wrap compare to paint?  Planned on painting it.  What do you think?

Best to ask one of the detailing experts but it should be ok.

I actually typed out a message but didn't feel experienced enough to comment on wrap.  :grin:

Id personally have it painted. It'd be a much nicer finish (than previous gloss wraps I've seen before)  :happy2:

Ps. Mike i've still got wednesday booked for some harry tints. Time for a definitive yey or ney my boy!  :drinking:

I agree for track driving but not too fast else you meet the gravel trap. For road driving slow in and fast out isnt the best method, as all corners are different and the speed will be best judged by using view point analysis. Either way Mikes car would be a monster on the track and plenty of fun on the road. Though my 115 bhp work focus can beat Mikes leon on the road lol :P
