It was a serious question - allbeit with a touch of 'tongue in cheek' irony too!  :happy2:

Come on, TT. Not all your questions are seriously taken.

Even the worst F1 driver is miles ahead from all of us.
Some years ago I had the chance to have a demo on the passenger seat with a world class rally driver.
His car control has been absolutely stunning !!

If you really want to learn more read this book: DRIVING ON THE EDGE

http://www.autocourse.com/products/driving-on-the-edge/

Why would I want to read about how to drive a race car?  The book 'Roadcraft' is more relevant.

Indeed. I just need to know how to get all that whisdom.  :wink:


Don't get me wrong - I have the greatest respect for any technical knowledge and expertise.
But I also have lots of respect for professional drivers. Even more since I do some motorsports
on my own.

Erm . . . arn't we going a little off-topic?  This thread is about reviewing tyres - not willy-waving on who has the best driver training.  Banter over, back on topic please.  :smiley:

Evo tyres test - This year the Contisport 3 won. Last year the Contisport 5P won. Why didn't they use the 5P for the second year running?
