rob275 1817 Report post Posted April 29, 2014 Going to post my TSS Runs here throughout the rounds, I've only watched two of the runs back so far and can immediately see how shit I am. Criticism and advice welcome, so far what I can see is I'm braking too early still (Silly habit of mine) and braking for no reason on some of the corners. Also too wide on them, had I watched these back at lunch I probably could of shaved some good time off if I thought about it sensibly Round 1 - Blyton Park Run 1 - 1:23.18 Run 2 - 1:22.75 2 keelerad and nikndel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted April 29, 2014 The best advice I can give is to get some tuition. You're not shit Rob. To be fair you haven't got loads of experience and all that, so I think it was a good effort. I'm always happy to give tips, but the best thing i can advise is tuition.

Adrian was very good at the Snetterton day and really helped a lot, the Driver Training day Mark has organised should also be a great help so i'm expecting a vast improvement by me on the next round.

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted April 29, 2014 Yes, the CAT training thing really ought to help. I had a lot of tuition ten years ago, I was very fortunate though having British Touring car champions as my tutors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted April 29, 2014 Good luck with that. It helps if you have wealthy parents who have wealthy friends who have their own companies who want to save a little on taxes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keethos 842 Report post Posted April 29, 2014 Well it was your first run after all Rob so you probably took it easy anyways do difficult to be constructive, but you'll soon get used to the track, start breaking harder and later and push a lil more on the long swooping turns.

Special K 442 Report post Posted April 30, 2014 I agree with all Lauren's/LFA's/Keethos' remarks, Rob. Some of your lines through corners were, err, a bit eccentric... so tuition/practice are very much called for.. you will no doubt drive the pants off me at Woodbridge..
