Driving (faster) better

If I want to drop my lap times, I can try to:

  • be smoother with my steering inputs
  • threshold brake
  • change my slip angle
  • pay greater attention to my weight transfer
  • roll on the throttle to stay on the edge of my friction circle
  • hit all my reference points

Or I can go buy race tires and keep driving at my current skill level.

The same is true for getting more powerful car for everyday driving at least in my opinion. Time to learn some new driving techniques and practice.

Red Hook - a film about Tommy Kane (by DannyGregory)

A nice little film if, like me, you like to watch artists while they work.

Povedený snowboardový film natočený na opravdový film.

“The advice I like to give young artists, or really anybody who’ll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself. Things occur to you. If you’re sitting around trying to dream up a great art idea, you can sit there a long time before anything happens. But if you just get to work, something will occur to you and something else will occur to you and something else that you reject will push you in another direction. Inspiration is absolutely unnecessary and somehow deceptive. You feel like you need this great idea before you can get down to work, and I find that’s almost never the case.”

Wonderful animation by students at the Utrecht School of Arts in the Netherlands. Enjoy the ride. (via Adam Hrubý)

Něco takového jsem chtěl kdysi dělat, jen jsem byl moc liný se tomu věnovat…
