How can you consistently brake later into a corner, turn in faster and get the power on earlier if you don't know where or when you were doing those things to start with? Granted there are other options out there but CSS (Andy Ibbott specifically) is extremely good at getting the message across to the point where you can improve yourself. .

i used Braking markers both before and after the course.

I don't mean to sound patronising Steve but good for you, I think you're very lucky to have either a built in skill that enables you to pick out those points or you've been lucky enough to have someone show you, but without "someone" to show me how to work these things out I'm just gonna have to continue "guessing", I'm no racing god like young Fil but I manage to hold my own (most of the time!) and I am concentrating so much on where everyone else is and whether I'm closing on them or dropping back that I don't "think" about what I'm doing, when or where I'm doing it on track. I need someone to show me these things so I, personally, feel that I'd gain tremendously from doing a CSS (or any type of race) school.
Dominic's question was what did we all feel we'd get/got out of CSS. I would learn a hell of a lot and it would only be the beginning....
