Drive by wire..............

You may have heard the term 'Drive by wire' well this is the 60's version of 'steer by throttle'.I cannot remember which of the numerous races or circuit this was at however with 387bhp in a 930kg car and Dunlop tyres, steering and cornering was not mereley about steering wheel input it was more about throttle balance and oversteering. Get it right and it was effortless almost sublime in the Gerry Marshall ebullient style, get it wrong and it could end in tears, let alone expense.

Business is exactly the same, grab yourself a mentor, someone who has 'been there and done that' and more than likely made some errors. As the great Gerry once said to me shortly after I started my racing career, Andy your a gifted and talented driver, let me teach you how to be excellent, it will cost considerably less in the long run!
