How much more consistent would your entry speed be?

1st step will be finding good consistent mid corner reference points, either the apex or as discussed in blind apex corners something BEFORE to lead you to the apex.

step 2 is the timing of WHEN you look at those new mid corner reference points. What happens if you look for them too late? What happens if you look at them at the SAME time you turn the bike?

How might things be different if you looked at those RP's BEFORE You actually turned the bike?

@Misty,
You will have to give me a little time to run this thru my brain before I can give you more than a guess as an answer. I will think about this and get back to you when I have worked this out.

Really like all the people hitting me with these questions. Helps me really focus on this issue and work out the answer from angles I would not have tried on my own.
