Warning: This is the sort of stuff I get into with drivers after I've done everything I can with normal coaching. If you are still a relative novice or are looking for seconds a lap please read my other braking articles first. You will need 100% confidence whilst braking for this tutorial, so that all your mental energy is free to make the subtle driving adjustments necessary to make this work. How to find a tenth of a second with braking technique into sharp bendsusing Mychron4 with GPS
Right, we analysed a lot of data collected using AiM data acquisition to study the fastest way round the hairpin at the end of the long straight at Whilton Mill. Our driver, who on the day was hitting laps close to the lap record, approached the corner using different braking techniques. One technique in particular was a tenth quicker than the rest. I'll spell it out to you here step by step so you can do it yourself. |

In this article we look at just one corner to find 3 tenths. This process took me a matter of minutes at the track and you can do it easily yourself. Equipment: Mychron4 + GPS Heres what I did: -Compare two quick laps with a speed against distance graph -See where on the track our second fastest lap was quicker than the fastest (RaceStudio makes it very obvious) -Use Race Studio to see why it was faster, show the driver and ask him to do it every lap! Here are the step by step instructions on how you can do the same |
