Your #1 Question: Minimum amount of reference point for a turn> I would have to say 3. Turn in point, Apex and Exit. Of course there could be any number for a given turn but the bare min# would be three I believe.

#2: How would knowing where I would be mid turn (for sure) before I turn in effect my confidence and consistency mid turn. Positively on both. Anyone would be more confident and able to have more consistient speed mid turn if they knew where they were going thru a turn!

#3: Most obviously easy answer. Bike goes where you look so looking at a reference point too late will be bad and early will have the bike turning or ready to turn when the time is right!

I will continue to think about these questions until I have all the "math" worked out in my head but that is what seems right to me so far
Excellent! Correct on all 3 questions and I love that you took the time to really think about and analyze before you answered. I'd like to hear about how it goes for you when you get back to the track and you can experiment with finding more RP's and then deciding when to look at them.

We've talked about how you can look towards the apex too early and/or too late....so how do you think you determine WHEN exactly you are supposed to look towards the apex RP?
