Glen, I understand, but the surprising result is exit becomes easy and intuitive once you push mid-corner. As Chris explained, every advanced driver knows when throttle can be applied. Learning how to get into the turn can gain you .5 sec per critical turn. Look at the corners on a track that require a minimum of two gear changes and do the math. 3 corners can yield well over a second with less car wear and less drama. I realize it is a hard concept to grasp as even Kenny said " I don't think I can do that yet.", but you need to start somewhere.
While I find exit critical it is the just as important to set up entry into the corner. One statistic that was a surprise was my theoretical lap times a now much closer to my fast lap in a session (.3 to .5secs) max. We need to get a data session together after the holidays.
