As the world turns...

 

I'd like to control my Pedal Mapping.

 

Question for those in the know; shuffle steering or the 10-2/9-3 method... what say you and why??
No right or wrong answers, just curious what you do and why. Discuss...

I've got to do one of these "autox"events. Though I feel it's more like staged rally. Insurance must be high for organizers.

 

9-3 method. Don't like shuffling because steering wheel ends up in the wrong position sometimes.

 

I done told chu, 9-3 so you know where steering center is. Shuffle only if your car doesn't have tight steering ratio. Shouldn't need to shuffle steering I for evo unless you're drifting like foren. Put that piece of tape with 9-3 back on your steering wheel. Ish ain't a game son.

 

so what you're saying is I shouldn't be keeping one hand at the 12 o'clock position and resting the other on the shifter??

 

Depends. At AX I always be shufflin'...I started shuffling shortly after I started AX (13 years ago). I have been slowly unlearning this on the track, but I've never had a problem with knowing/sensing when the wheels are straight even if the steering wheel is on crooked (you can see me dealing with this in my comp school video).

 

Autox - 9.5/2.5 it's in between, don't shuffle unless you need to break the lock for a corner that needs it. It also depends on the car's steering rack ratio if you shuffle.

Drag - 9 and shifter.

Road course - 9-3 should never have to break this unless you are "tank slapping".

Why? Because it all feels natural and gives me the best control and feedback.

Subtle errrday I'm shufflin' post.

 

sounds like me.

I started shufflin because of autox and carried it over to DE. Now I'm constantly telling my self to keep my hand still, lol. Hard technique to unlearn. I like keeping my hands where they are on the wheel cause it feels like i have better control of the car and i 'think' I am using less steering now than when I was shufflin'

 

Keep your opinions to yourself. I have well enough knowledge and experience to engage in the question. You feeling froggy today?

 

An interesting debate this topic. When I started autox, everyone told me to shuffle. It was un-natural but I learned it. At the track, I try not to shuffle, but I cant' avoid it. The reason for me is I have short legs and a long torsol. For my feet to be in a comfortable for the pedals, I have to sit forward, and that casue my arms to jam. So I basically do it based on the approaching corner. FOr the most part, I try not to shuffle. Ideally, I would extend my pedals up so I can sit further back to avoid shuffling. If you look at an professional driver on track, no one shuffles.

 

Firstly, I prefer you not address me as I have not addressed you.

Secondly, who said that was directed towards you or anyone or even meant to be insulting? I don't give two ***** about you so go **** yourself, *******!
