  1. Thanks as an experienced rally driver I learned a lot here, just some comments, im a fwd car exiting the corner it is faster not to be 100% finished with the corner at the exit. With the complex at 4:35 I would blend those lines more for less changes in slide angle, which confuse the suspension and perceived traction

  2. I just got into racing recently on some video game. This has helped me understand when to use a late, geometric, and early apex. One thing I hope you have a video about is how to find where that braking line is, because I want to eventually wean myself off the setting that shows the driving line.
