Hitting that bank the first time at a high speed feeling the car settle into the line was crazy. Only thought in my head was, smooth, don't lift, smooth, don't lift. How do the yellow shirts always stay so calm?
My instructors late that day and the day worked with me on the gearing, going to a higher gear to get the rpms down to around 4-5k, worked out better than being in that 6k region going around the turns. Was able to put more power down and smoother.
