hi!

i'll be up at WGI coaching this weekend!   Big Grin

T8 is a quick, hard tap of the brakes, turn in and just barely touch the inside curb, squeezing on the throttle (increasing to full throttle, for me;  my car is underpowered), and unwinding the wheel.  there is ALOT of room on the exit -- USE EVERY SQUARE INCH!!!!  unwind the wheel, give her the coal, and let the car run out to where 'it wants to be'.  i use all the white curbing on the outside, but i don't teach my students to do this....  if they misjudge, and touch the dirt/grass, it very often ends up as a spin and/or crash into the right side guardrail...

i am not totally sure of your experience level;  if you are advanced, i'd say you should start to use some of the white curbing (assuming it is dry, of course!).  if you are, shall we say, 'less than advanced', i'd still tell you to use all the track, but leave the white curbing as a safety zone...   see below for a few laps of me circulating around the glen:

have fun!  the glen is my tippy top favorite track!!!!
