Pretty neat driving and what a car...
Anyway, I noticed that u shuffled your hands at the corners. I know there's always different schools of thot on hand placement for track driving. I'm with the one on 9 - 3 position and I can take the full sepang track on 9 - 3. And I took on this habit after seeing all those on-board videos of Best motoring and also the malaysian rally drivers. For me, 9 -3 hand placement gives more control in countersteering an oversteer. I would think your CTR should have a smaller lock to lock compared to my 4.4 lock to lock steering rack, so you probably don't have to turn more than I do at the corners. FYI, the instructors team from the Proton H&T department also preaching the 9 - 3 hand placement and how to swap hands correctly and effectively so that your hands will always land back on the 9-3 position. But i guess shuffling works for you and FF cars.
What i do and try to practice is called PUSH-PULL technique which i think commonly used in UK on both road, advanced driving courses as well as sedan car racing there.
As you can see from video, i'm still here to learn and practice as much as i can during driving time. My push-pull is still far from perfect and need a little more driving time hence you see the video like i'm shuffling quite a bit.
My hands are most of the time at 9-3 and i had to push-pull at tighter corners as i do not want to cross hand when i know the corner is tighter. In track i have been driving most of time on track cars only and these track cars i drive normally do not have power steering and turning ratios are not as short hence i do need to turn more on corners with more effort as well.
This is the very 1st time i took a road going car down to sepang since 2004 and if you had sat next to me on the 1st session, you will see how much movement i had as i kept forgetting this car has power steering and requering less steering. I just kept laughing at myself with the huge steering input and reaction i had on this car.
If i don't understand wrong, what you practice at 9-3 is called FIXED-HAND. This is widely used and can be used mostly in single-seater race car as well as rear-wheel drive car like the Lotus Elise where throttle input can help to steer the car and hand is normally fixed 9-3 due to the quick reaction you require when driving to the limits counter-steering all the way through long bends like 5, 12.
On a FF car like the CTR and my track DC2, i think it is going to be very tough to steer and enter tight corners correctly if i stayed Fixed-Hand 9-3.
Maybe
Faisal can chip in on these and driving the Proton Satria R3 with power-steering round SIC. I haven't driven one yet so i don't know if the Satria can drive round SIC at 9-3 fixed hand.
It is interesting to know more, so if you guys see the video and know where i can improve is good as i always find myself too slow in corners compare to the MSS guys. Hence, i have bought all this bracket and stands for video so i can watch back to see my mistakes.
