Story research...

I am writing a car chase project in which an already solid driver becomes exceptional by closely observing the man he's chasing and picking up on his techniques. In the current draft, the technique that takes our hero to the next level is left-foot braking. Perhaps this is too common a technique to illustrate the difference between a solid and exceptional driver? I'm looking for potential alternatives. Little-known, perhaps even outdated techniques or driving philosophies that could be gleaned simply through repeated observation. Any advice or suggestions anybody out there might be able to offer would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks for your time,

GoJoe
