[YDD] Getting Started With Driver Feedback
Hello Reader,
Driver feedback might seem like “admin” but it is a great skill to develop. The performance potential of your car is completely linked to how confident you feel behind the wheel.
The better you can record your feelings of what the car is doing, the simpler it will be to make your track car faster. Plus, simply the act of you doing driver feedback, will help you improve as a driver.

This weeks article gives you an easy process to follow – including suggested questions to ask yourself and real examples notes to reference – in order to help you begin to do driver feedback.
