Whats up guys, I've been driving my s2k lately as a DD but,

I really want to learn how to DRIVE it. I want to understand how to take corners, how to shift properly, how to do all kinds of stuff and especially how to react incase of an emergency or something.

What websites do you guys go on or videos do you have that kind of helped you first understand these cars? I know there are going to be a couple guys who are gonna be like wtf noob or something, but we've all been there. Plus I think it is good info for everyone and helps prevent more s2ks from being totalled.

Help a brotha out!

 

autocross is a really good way to improve your driving skills

 

try to hit up a HPDE and have a session with a instructor in the car.

 

Find someone that knows what they're doing to get you started.

 

All good advice. The autox will translate better for day-to-day driving situations, and the hpde will be good for overall car control and driver improvement.

 

autocross will be better for you in every respect of driving. autocross would help you more then HPDE can.

if you don't know of any autocrosses in your area, try scca.com and look at solo II. start there. when at an autocross ALWAYS talk to to the more seasoned guys. but everybody there will always help you.

 

im in socal is there any autocrosses in my area? I know we have a crap load of s2k clubs around here, I should meetup with them..

 

I've grown up playing Gran Turismo and Forza and I think that those games or any good driving simulator is a cheap way to see how rwd cars behave at the limit. Of course going to a auto x or track is the best, but the games can teach you how to keep a good line, when to brake and deal with weight transfer.
