What are the requirements to be a good driver/racer ?

I don't have my full license right now, but i'm driving my father's focus hatchback and my father think I have trouble calculating my death angles and the passager side...

so i'm wondering if it's only a question of time or if it's because I sux at driving.
I also can't see myself be a good driver...but maybe with more practice

Re: What are the requirements to be a good driver/racer ?

i thought when I first got my license I knew what I was doing. But now, at 24, after having my license 8 years, and having my license suspended 4 times in the past, I can tell you that I am now a much better driver than before.

Basically, you just have to learn how to handle your vehicle in any situation. The more you drive, and the more conditions you drive in, the better of a driver you will become.

Practice makes perfect.

Go to professional racing school...it's honestly alot cheaper than many think...and AF has some group deals every once in awhile...a few hours there will really help..my cousin and I are looking into doing one.

Your 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 is the 92nd out of the 315 that were made that year. Only 21 of which are exactly identical.
