[QUOTE] I know what faster riders are doing - they're braking later, cornering faster, and accelerating harder. The question is slightly more meta-physical - *how* are they doing those things? For instance - Corams is a long RH corner at Snetterton. I have a certain speed round there which I can do repeatedly. This is faster than some riders, but slower than others. But how do I break out of my comfort zone (bearing in mind that 'comfort' actually equates to "jeez, this is fast, don't think I can go any quicker") and step up to the next level?[/QUOTE] Loose 25 years of are ? Surely its the art of staying in the comfort zone but going quicker without realising it.
