Hey chicos,
I am a relative noob to track riding, and something has always confused me. Say I am coming down the straight at 120 mph, and I came to a right hand turn. I would then brake to scrub off the appropriate amount of speed, down shift to the correct gear , position my body and then begin to execute the turn.
The only thing I think I am fouling up is my use of the throttle. I realize this sounds incredibly noobish, but I am obviously off the throttle while braking and down shifting, but do I then pick it back up to a certain RPM range so that I can have my continuos and smooth roll on of the throttle during the turn?
I think my issue is that I coast too often, where I will I brake then sort of lazily roll into the turn and then begin to accelerate. I assume there should be virtually no down time on the throttle. Yet when I try that the coaches say I am charging the turns.
Forever your helpless noob.
Thanks!
