THIS IS AWESOME. And so true. The books never quite describe it so well as this - the theory of cornering doesn't talk much about weight transfer, suspension movement, tires... all the things that really mean the difference between someone who's a good driver and someone who's a superior, pro driver. Summarizing with "smooth is fast" or "looks slow, is fast" is great, but the detail and eloquence of Sir Jackie really lets you understand what that truly means.

Quite simply, THE best description of high performance driving technique i've had the privilege to see and hear. Applies equally in principle to motorcyling, or even driving a heavy commercial vehicle. Thanks Sir John:)

This is all completely correct obviously but some of what he wa saying was more relavant with the cars of his era with there supple suspension. Rigid race cars of this era forgive alot more.

this is part of "Weekend of a champion" footage. The film was directed by Roman Polanski (it's him talking to Jackie)
This is oddly one of the coolest videos I've seen on YouTube. I mean, it's Jackie Stewart eating breakfast, casually talking about racing. No silly commentary or music in the background. It perfectly simple and simply awesome.

Ring the bell because school is in session brought to you by one of the greats! Skip Barber teaches the trail braking technique but the key is smooooooth. You do anything too fast and too harsh and around you go.(trust me I know Sears Point Raceway's grass well) Just like Jackie said, be good to the car and she will be good to you.
