He often knew tricks to setting up a car that no one else was using at the time. (im sure chapman help alot here) I'm pretty that came from an understanding of how the machine worked.



Its all a mental excercise and preparation for the task. You need to practice a great deal as driving is all sensory input and motor skills. Those things come with time, but, like any activity, there is an analyticalpart to it.

You have to think about what your doing, its really what is going to separate the men from the boys. Ask any person at the top of their field what their weaknesses are. I bet you'll get a long answer! (if you can get them to be honest).

So if looking at a traction circle does nothing for you, thats ok. Doesn't mean it is a useless idea. Personally I think it can help the thought process. I did apply these things last year and they did help.



I think 2 of the first 3 F1 champions died in street crashes ... so join the club. (i.e the club is everyone)

I completely understand the beef you guys have with the theory being too simple.

Here is a good question ... As a theory becomes more general, is it more or less correct?
I'm simple minded...

i wonder what a name brand wheel would look like under xray.
The track time was maximum attack, taking full advantage of the curbs.
