OP, I just watched your video and I'd recommend you drop the shuffle. You'd be better off just keeping the hands at 3 and 9 (the S2000 steering is quick enough to get away with this) or pre-position a hand only for tight turns.

 

Now you got me thinking on whether I am turning the wheel too much. Possibly it can come from late turn in? Care to watch the video below and advise if I should drop the shuffle?

I wouldn't change a thing. You could give a clinic in hand positioning. You're mostly pre-positioning and when you do shuffle it's smooth and seamless and you can't argue with your very quick lap times. Very, very nice driving.

 

I lol'd when you honked the horn.

 

Thanks for the kind words!
My horn is disconnected. Maybe it was the shift beeper?

Edit: I think the noise was from my rear tires scraping the bumper. I need to shave down the tab a bit more.

 

I was incorporating shuffle steering through the carousel on Summit Point Main (after a recommendation from an instructor) and it felt much more comfortable, since the carousel is one consistent steering input. I then tried using shuffle steering on Summit Point Shenandoah and my hands were all over the place, because the entire course is much tighter with more turns. Needless to say, my instructor that weekend recommended I stick to the 9/3 posistioning and it was much smoother from then out. Since you are relatively inexperienced like me, it is probably best to leave your hands in a consistent position and focus on the driving line, and braking and turn-in speed consistency.

 

I like to stick with the 9/3 positioning as well except for very sharp turns and on those I do it much like robrob and go with some form of prepositioning one of my hands so that my arms aren't all crossed up. Seems to work well for me.

 

Here is an example of my constant 9 and 3 positioning at Mid-Ohio.

That's an excellent example of a nice, relaxed grip on the wheel with the thumb along the inside rim of the wheel. Nice driving Jason.

 

6th gear? WOW

from the video - i like this track layout and elevation changes.
some barriers look to close to give enough run off though ....
