After taking the Evolution school in April, and having an enormous amount of seat time this season, looking ahead has proved to be a 'new mod' in my driving arsenal.
It has been hard, reteaching myself how to look ahead, much like it has been to left foot brake successfully.
I have found autocross courses to become much more flowing with this technique. When I am on a road course, do to all the space/longer range of vision....looking ahead, I suppose becomes more natural.
In June at my first CENDIV event of the season, I noticed at the end of the first day, I wasn't looking ahead enough....so on the second day, I would chant "look ahead" to myself.....I would say it was at least a .4 sec improvement per run. (plus my driving was much smoother)
so if you ever see in pulling up to the start, and my lips are moving, you now know what I am saying
So how many of you look ahead?
