Rider Inputs + Fast Corners (Track)

Hi there.

 

So, I'm struggling to accomplish every fast 90 degree (L) corners and looong ones as well, which doesn't need any braking inputs, but you still can drag your knee because steep lean angles must be reached.

 

So here we go: when I get to the corner on WOT what should I do with the throttle?

 

D ) another alternative...

 

And how should I lean into ir?

 

D ) ?

 

Thank you.

Are you sure steep lean angles are needed?

D) Slow down and learn your entry speed. No brake drill and "Discharging" as Hotfoot mentioned.

D) AQAP

 

Right now I'm trying to solve my BALLS problem! It's almost automactic: I'm hitting the brakes on every fast corner but then I see guys passing thru me like a rocket (and knee dragging).

 

So, getting my theoretical knowledge sharpen maybe can solve my fast corners issues.

I know every corner is a different history, but let's start with the basics, baby steps:

 

1) on a 90 degree 100 kmh corner how should I approach? Roll off the throttle, keep it, quick turn, and then throttle controle rule?

First don't compare your turn speed to others. It's your speed and they can't take it from you...

Quit obcessing about knee dragging!

Are you feeling rushed when approaching this type of turn?

See D) above. Take time and learn "your" entry speed.

 

 

No, it is not pinched... well, I think I'll give a shot on rolloff till half throttle + quickflick next trackday. Let's see how it handles.

 

My biggest fear is---like our mate said---to run wide/out of track or washout the front tire due lack of load.

Once you have a firm grasp on your entry speed, turn rate, and good throttle control what could you do next to lessen the fear of running wide?

 

I think you are wasting to much of your $10 on what others are doing and fear.
