DwD 0474: Overdriving Observations and Indications

Ben is joined on this episode by both special guests Mental Ward and Santa Jeremy to discuss some indications that you may be overdriving on track. Ben is a firm believer in driving to the limit but for some of our less experienced listeners driving at the limit can be difficult and sometimes dangerous. In addition, this is significantly increasing the wear and tear on your car and can impact your team’s ability to successfully complete an endurance race. Less of a concern for Time Trials and Sprint racing.

DwD 0370: Overdriving vs. Underdriving

When trying to improve as a driver there are many instances where the same driver can be overdriving their car and at other points on the track can be underdriving. In addition, the best of us also can have areas where we do one or the other and our lap times area adversely affected. For this episode, we talk about some indications of a driver under driving their car and other indications where the driver driving the car. While people grow in their driver education and skills, most will have a personality predisposition towards one side of the spectrum generally. We use this episode of DwD to try to explain the jargon and help you determine where and when you may be under or over driving and some things to do to continue to improve.
