No suprise with the way he hold the steering wheel like a hairdresser holding a pair of scissors.

No wonder cars have feather light steering these days when these guys are reviewing it.

Anyhoo, going by the Chirs Harris thread - there should a whole Ferrrari garage crew not too far away

One of the very best driver trainers in the country drives using his fingertips - indeed he did a lap with me in a GT3 using just his thumbs and forefingers very lightly to demonstrate most people massively over-grip the wheel.

Thats training based of cars with wussy PAS; I come from a karting background, you can't steer with fingertips as the steering weights up too much during cornering.

Same with a G50 911, NSX, Lotus Elan S1/S2/+2 etc

And now, even my XJ-S ( I just fitted a genuine XJ-RS Adwest steering rack, now it has proper steering )


Cars that you can steer hard through bends with your pinky have either over-assisted steering or very poor loading up under cornering. That equates to poor feedback, which results in pushing the car beyond it limits without knowing or being fully aware of it - until it lets go and smacks a curb

You might be in a very small minority on this one regarding the GT3 regarding it's cornering dynamics and feedback.

EFA

[quote=Trout;9954710]

One of the very best up hill gardeners in the country pleasured me using his fingertips - indeed his ***** slapped me in a GT3.

And using just his thumbs and forefingers very lightly he tickled my prostate whilst I gripped his massive 'wheel'.
