no problem, its a bible for sure. The illustrations are excellent.
And if you start now you may digest it all by the time APril rolls around.
Chapter One: PLAN OF ATTACK!
books are great for the mind, but it all goes out the window when you are driving(physical) and looking ahead (mental). In the begining its 100% physical, you are strictly reacting to the G's and the everything flashing before your eyes.
It all comes down to comfort. Until you get used to being in the cockpit and your instincts start to take over your physcial reactions/anticipations you will not have time to think about anything and you will be half a step behind losing .25-.5 seconds on each corner. As you log more seat time it becomes 90% mental and 10% physical and your lap times stay consistent within a matter of .1's
or maybe you are one of those lucky guys whose parents bought you a go kart at age five and didn't take it away.
Karting at an early age makes driving any kind of car at an older age a piece of cake.
