Thanks, any driving/shifting advice you can give me(n00b)?

 

• Until you figure out what you're doing (takes some people years ), put the car in second and leave it there.
  
  
• Be gentle with your inputs. Don't wait until the last second then jerk the steering or slam on the brakes -- anticipate what you'll have to do next and use smooth hand and foot inputs. Note: smooth does not necessarily mean slow.
  
  
• Do your braking in a straight line and get back on the gas before you start your turns. Try not to lift off of the throttle in mid-corner, and really avoid braking in mid-corner. Both are recipes for spins.
  
  
• Put a little more air in your tires -- at least mid-thirties.
  
  
• Have fun!
