You can see that I tend to shuffle steer by sliding my hands along the steering wheel rather than keeping my hands in one location and crossing my hands/arms over each other (although they do cross over when I have to move really fast). Shuffle steering isn't the preferred driving technique for a long list of reasons but it is what I was taught when I started performance driving and it seems to work for me so I haven't focused on changing it. This might be a case of don't necessarily do what I do; but I will also say that you need to find your own driving style that works best for you and not just blindly follow what the "experts" say.
But it was all instinct - I never "thought" about what to do, just did it automatically. For me, I don't think its necessarily talent - just lots of seat time. And while I'm no where near the
10,000 hours of practice that is supposedly required to become expert at something, concentrated practice of a skill definitely helps one to improve.
So maybe all I need is another 9,800 hours of track time and I'll be racing at Le Mans.
