Level 1 Drill #2

[Myke]

Hi, I just completed Level 1 on Friday at Eastern Creek in Australia - what an experience!!

 

I'm only now going through and filling out my drill sheet book - I know..

 

Anyway, hoping someone could help me out with one of the questions:

 

"What 3 attributes describe a good line"

 

A few things pop to mind but I've forgotten what was written on the board.

 

Thanks

Hey Myke, welcome to the forums, glad you had a great experience with CSS down under.

 

To get the ball rolling, I have a couple of question's for you.

 

First: A good line will allow you to do what with the throttle / throttle rule ??

 

Second: A good line allows you to do what with your steering inputs ??

Darn! I could only remember two points:

 

1. Follows the throttle control rule.

2. Allows for one steering input.

3. ???

See if this hint helps: fill in the blank, "we want to ______________ the corner as much as possible"

Yes! Perfect. And what effect does that have on how much lean angle you have to use?

A good line (as there is no ideal line) follows the above three criteria, in effect, requiring less lean angle! Beneficial both on the track and on the streets!
