I am going to try your number 3. How abrupt did he have you unwind?

High speed straight entry into a sweepers are still something I find hard to push and judge towards full capability of the car...still hesitant. What were his cues there?

I have been driving a jeep all winter so I am going to do some karting in the hope that it will tune me up a bit
What I do is slowly ramp it up. At first, approach the corner at a speed you know you can make without lifting. Lets say you know you can take the corner in 4th at 4k rpm. Next time around go through at 4.3k rpm on an even throttle without lifting. Keep going up in small increments until you reach your limit. Set your speed well before the entry, even if it means backing off halfway through the straight and concentrate on looking through the corner for your turn in point.
