When I started racing (cars....sorry!) I thought I should look for braking markers. I found this distracted me so much that I actually got slower! OK, so you find a brake marker. How many laps have you done? How warm are your tyres? Is the sun shining? What time of day is it? Your practice session is at 1000 and it's cloudy and cool, you find your "best" braking markers. Your race is at 1400 by which time the sun has been shineing for 3 hours and its now sunny and warm. You use the same braking markers as during practice..........why are you now last? Some very famous racers talk about braking markers.......I'll bet a £ to a penny that those braking markers actually change EVERY lap! |
