    I think it’s VERYYY obvious I’m using WAYY too much hand brake hahaha i was literally yelling at myself watching the footage last night. The car has always felt sooo unstable i drive it soooo defensively. But I’ve learned A LOT this weekend but my complete lack of seat time over the last two years really shows. I’m still very proud of myself considering. I’m hoping to drive a TONN this year and my main focus is training myself to break my bad habits of being too anxious and just DRIVE. One step at a time, no substitute for seat time 🤝❤️‍🔥

    I'd say 90% of the times you Ebrake you could of gotten closer and been more controlled using left foot brake, your car has the grip, power and angle now to point it round more and power round instead of sliding on Ebrake. Personally I'd remove the lever for a session and learn to use other methods to link the track, so glad you finally got it dialled though and can't wait to see the proggression thru this year.

    Jimmy indeed pulls the handbrake too much and kills his wheel speed and letting the car straighten out.

  • @dobbzmotorsport3939
    @dobbzmotorsport3939 2 года назад

    Im not at all trying to armchair drift, but I think the reason you are using handbrake more than youd like is because the focus on your tandem seems to be the front wheels of the leading car, where it would be a lot smoother and set up your transitions more nicely if you aim to position yourself on the rear wheels. Itll cause you to transition later, and mimic the lead car better, so you wont need to extend the straight line via ebrake due to transitioning too early. The car looks gnarly right now though with that angle! Sick man, pumped to see all the content with this thing! Cheers MANE!
