4. Body Positioning in general
5. Up the throttle where possible, especially stop letting myself get 'lost' on sections of the track causing me to throttle down. (e.g. at the Ridge I frequently estimate the length of the front straightaway to be shorter than it is, so I roll off and engine brake early into turn 1, instead of waiting for a reference point to tell me the turn is some distance away and being willing to use the brakes)
Excellent list!

Very glad you remembered #2 (which is kinda #1 if i'm not around watching you)! The adding lean angle and throttle combination is a deadly one so yes, Quickturn, THEN roll on the gas once you are at the lean angle you want. :dance cool:

Why is it so dangerous to add lean angle and throttle at the same time?
