@MadCat360 I'm giving you an oficial ID, you are a track agriculture inspector and it is necessary for you to have dirt samples on your person at ALL times... ;)
@MadCat360 I got a chance to drive a formula 1300 single seater last month and coming from karts I couldn't downshift like you do and roll through the corner and put the throttle on the exit .... which is essential for a good laptime, your video showed me the idea, I think a lot of people who came from karts had this problem including myself
@pixelsblack Yeah. The footwork is tough. But coming from karts we have the advantage of being delicate left foot brakers. I used simulators to learn the basic movements and get in the habit of heel-toeing on downshifts. It's pretty simple to adapt what you learn there to a real car. It's the same motions. I don't think I would have had as easy of a time if I didn't use the simulator first.
@MadCat360 during the last round of my c'ship there was heavy rain, the karts were on slicks, massive understeer, like driving on oil, most of the very quick guys would spin out mid corner, I was able to get around quick and was first in my group, trick is to turn in hard and let the back come around and then balance how much the back comes out with the throttle to turn it around the corners, like throttle steering what does this say? would I be better in a different category?
@MadCat360 (This is my last question/comment) and this is just a though and I don't aim to do this, but what happened in the wet kinda gave off the impression to me that I'd be better on sort of low grip surfaces, such as a very low level/basic rally category? (I'm still pretty much a novice and have quite some time to still learn and grow) LOL :/ it was abit like this: youtube.com/watch?v=3gwF3nx00FE
@pixelsblack Dirt is a bit different than water, but the driving style is kind of similar in that both need big angles to get the tires to work right. The feel is very different though. Grip loss in the wet is very sudden, but on dirt it is very gradual. Certainly try it if you get the opportunity, but I think you should drive what you like the best - if you like it, chances are you're good at it.
My only advice is work on your downshifts when you downshift your also pushing the break pedal harder only when you downshift, work on heel-toe without disturbing the break pressure, your heel-toe now is resulting in not being able to break with full force and also pulsated breaking force.
@GuitarInformer Yeah, a little bit. The good news is the slip ratio tolerance on the Toyo RA-1 is quite wide, so threshold braking occupies a wide range of pressure on the brake pedal. Some of the movement is also side-flex in the pedal (the bar of the pedals can pretty much be bent by hand).
@MadCat360 I gave it another watch, I can see what your saying. heel-toe without disturbing break pressure is still something you can look into, your pedals have alot os side-flex, so that will also help, My pedals used to have side-flex(fixed), and I practiced while minimizing pedal movement. it really helps on the long run
0:38 i think its kind of funny when collective dirt from spinning etc. becomes visible during turns.

@severrnijKGU It's not dirt from spinning! It's uh... I brought it in with me just for decoration! Yeah.

@pixelsblack I think it says you'd be good in high-horsepower cars where throttle control is key. Also sounds like you're pretty handy in the wet.

@GuitarInformer can you advice how to start practicing left foot braking and when exactly to apply?
