I was in that older 911. You were hustling that 924 pretty good.

Nice driving, Mark. Your hands are a little busy on the steering wheel. You probably should move them around less on the wheel, and when you do shuffle, be more committed to it.

I'll admit, I was paraphrasing/reading between the lines. Hey, I never said I would make a good journalist...(or hey, maybe I'd make the PERFECT journalist!)

Seriously though, thanks for correcting me -- I should've focused my phraseology on the "smoothness" and "controlling the car's balance". I particularly value your advice re: smoothing down when trying to get the car back under control. I would assume that once the smoothness is mastered, an outcome (i.e., a downstream point of focus) of this would be "maximizing one's speed", yes? Irrespective of how this speed may compare to being on-line in the first place. "Maximizing speed" should only come once the car is under control -- i.e., not until White/Black/Red group! :D Perhaps a better verb might be "Optimizing speed"?

Great driving, Mark! Looking good -- glad I could finally see inside that dadgum car.

What camera are you using?

Also, explain to me why these were the "related videos" I saw whilst watching your video?

Thanks for the comment. I'm certainly open to advice on improving!

Collin--I have no idea how YouTube picked those videos???

Oh yeah, and the camera is a little "Flip" camera. It was actually sent to me by Porsche a couple of years ago, and it has the PORSCHE logo. Perhaps they think I have the kind of $$$ to buy a new car from them!

Watch Dwayne in this video, in the rain, at Watkins Glen. Once he gets around the traffic he's "the iceman" - very fast and very smooth. Watch his hands from about the 9 minute mark. Granted, this is the Glen so not a lot of hard steering, but he doesn't move his hands on the wheel until the toe of the boot, where he does one committed shuffle. A couple of laps later, in the same place, you see how he handles lost traction with very fast corrections after he notices the loss of traction very early, such that the car remains remarkably stable.

You aree going to be hard to live with, aren't you? :bang: Nice to know you enjoyed racing at the Glen

Please notice I posted the video of an experienced, winning racer. Not the video of a guy who got lucky once and came in 7th... :roll:

I haven't watched any of the videos (can't at work), but comparing hands at the glen to hands at shenandoah seems a little odd. You want to compare my autox run to a lap at lemans? Can't find a video of an experienced, winning racer at shenandoah?
