Hi everybody,

I went yesterday at Ian Luff Motivation fist driving course. It is called Drive to Survive. It was pretty good considering everything they spoke about there I never heard before. It is much more different than what your instructor thought you when you learn to drive.

There was a series of exercises which teach you how to stop your car in en emergency. Maybe this will save you from a major crash, save your precious SKYLINE or eventually your life (if you put any price on it) First course is $285.00 and if you book it on the web you get $10.00 off

After this I am going to the next, stage 2 which teach you to deal with car slipping. Would be good to do this in a controlled environment without the big BANG. Maybe when in such situation on the road you know what to do.

Stage 3, Performance driving will also give you a CAMS license. You can jump form stage one to stage 3 but stage one is a must!!!!

Here everybody the link http://www.ianluff.com.au/index.asp?pageid=1 , go check it out.

Cheers,

EUG.

i did stage 1 and 2 about a year and a half back, and they are well worth it! a lot of fun too.

stage 2 is the better one though. all about understeer and oversteer.

just a note, best not to wash your car before you go, it get covered in dirty water from all the sliding around in the skid pan

Yeah I did the Luff courses years ago, they are a great into to track and performance driving....

I wish more people would put aside a day to learn from the professionals instead of just hitting the track and wondering why they aren't going quickly enough....

If you are interested in more formal training, Peter Findlay's race courses are the best ones in NSW, he is very strict and formal about his training where Luff (and McGill) are a bit more friendly.

Ive heard very good things about the Ian Luff Courses, so i mite give them a try sometime.

Ive done 2 driving courses, the first one i did was with Sideways Action, i thought that it was very good, teaches u all about oversteer and understeer and car control on the Eastern Creek Skidpan, pity it wasnt in my skyline since i didnt have it at the time.

And the other one i did was the Peter Finlay Car Control Course, which i didnt like very much. I did this in my skyline close to when i first got it. Pretty much the whole day we did just simple manovours and And did a little wet braking, which was just a little water sprayed onto the road. At the time i was keep to see what it was like losing control of the skyline in a controlled environment, but they didnt allow it. I dont think i took as much experience or knowledge from that day that i should have.

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
