It was a very good training Sven, tank you. I enjoyed it a lot
Exercise n°3 is actually my favorite overtaking technique: while defending, if you take your time you can judge if your opponent can brake enough to clip the apex or not and overtake him.
You're already full throttle while your attacker is still turning. Very efficient.
Also for the banking section, you can trick your opponent by forcing him to take the inside before the banking, keep the outside and let go the other take the ideal at the exit.
Keep your speed to stay outside until the marshalls' cabin (stay a bit behind the inside car) then release gas to aim the end of the kerb on the right. You can go full throttle before the other car with a straighter line.
I was paired with Ed for the last exercise, and from my POV it is his favorite tech ; I can recognize him on track defending hard and keeping the inside at corners' entries, even without names upon cars.
I was not familiar with this thechnique but I really enjoyed blocking the inside, going a bit wide on purpose to "push" (I mean psychlogicaly) the car aside, maybe forcing him to brake to keep the advantage.
I tried to apply all the exercises during the race and I think I succeded. It was very fun to battle with Ed, blocking him in every decent ways using the Z and Sven's advices. A Very good night!
