@@actvmellow Things can happen on the road around you while you are looking out at some building in the distance. Plenty of tracks have no distant markers so what do you do then?? Amateur advice from someone who has probably not ever been in an actual competitive race or raced on many other tracks. Other than that his advice would be probably be helpful.

@@actvmellow I've done a little more than 300 laps at Big Willow now over the past 4 years, and for the past several sessions I've been able to spot the new building and water tower very well, and still see what's happening on the track around me too. The problem with Big Willow is that I think the braking markers (cones) are put out daily by each group renting the track. So for Saturday with Speed Ventures there were zero cones out. My daughter was driving as well, and she had real trouble trying to spot any off-track markers, so your advice makes sense - if there are permanent braking markers installed, otherwise you have to use something until it is second nature. PS, Jack is far from an amateur, and has plenty of National titles under his belt. He was my original instructor at the Porsche Experience and convinced me to take this up as my new hobby! My daughter and I watch this video repeatedly before each track now and I will continue to. Now I need to find one for Buttonwillow and Chuckwalla too.

Jack, thank you for this video and for your helpful advice when I met you last month. I was the guy with the blue 2009 911S. As you may recall, my very first lap was 1:55, but I dropped 2-3 seconds per lap, ending at 1:39 by the end of my first session. The second session was a string of 1:36s. I consolidated in the 1:36s and 1:37s during my third and fourth sessions. Then, in my fifth and final session, I really went to work on T8/T9 and brought my times down into the 1:34s. Not bad for just one day! I was very happy with the progression of my day and I couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you, again.

I raced motorcycles there and this is 99% of the lines and throttle usage I take. As bike riders, we tend to be a bit picky about lines as the cars can dig some big grooves and we don't want to drive in them. Typically in turn 1. Turn 8 really takes a bit of time to get comfortable with on some street bikes. The suspension is often not stiff enough and biker will be leaned over as far as they can go at full speed and then start hitting the frame on the track. This will make you wish you brought your brown leathers. Spot on about the exit of 8 and driving hard through the apex of 9.

I did everything you suggested and it was smooth like butter. Next time I will get higher speeds with some new Cup or 888 tires for my 2103 C6 Grand Sport. My street Pilot sport 4s do well but I need more grip for that track. Thanks again and keep the videos coming.

After his complaints I was laughing when he said he has downforce to carry 160 through turn 8. IF you are driving a "downforce car" that can do 163 in 8 you should be able to figure this stuff out WAY better than they seem to be able to do. I really think they are seriously over their head in that much of a car and they are apt to hurt themselves if they start testing the car's actual limits. At least they acknowledge that there isn't any real visual queues along the track.
