Car Control-How is it taught?

[Racingswh]

From reading about your WG slippery track experience Bob it makes me realize that it can't really be taught.  If you were a guy who did 3 to 4 track events a year in a competent car with high corner speeds that you drive near the limit but never over then you would have crashed under those same circumstances. 

You strive to go quick and are driving the car at its limits as often as you reasonably can lap after lap.  You desire to figure out ways to go faster and that requires you to drive your car on and over the limit of traction more often. 

You certainly aren't the driver I am thinking about.  Nor is Todd, Darren, Tom or anyone else at that level.   

Rain driving is good for people that already have some level of skill pertaining to car control.  To those that have no skill set in that regard it can be dangerous.  I think car control at a DE event is best learned at forgiving tracks.  Not ones like the Glen where walls are close.   I like the looks of the NJMP tracks as good places to learn car control. 

A driver has to want to learn car control.  They must drive outside their comfort zone so they can become familiar with the handling characteristics of their car. 

 Well, back to work now.
