^^^I'm not about to cloud the rookie's mind with competitive or defensive racing lines just yet...

The fast line is one thing, with the racing line being something completely different. But free of traffic, on a normal day, the green line is is the ideal line...

ya I that one diagram is gone but I understood what you meant by either looking at the turn or looking right in front. Both could be solved by simply looking ahead. Same goes for regular street driving. Well its winter now so there wont be much practicing but im getting a set of blizzak revo1's on tomorrow so i'll have a little bit more winter confidence.
