that's because you were driving point to point acting on memory and not looking ahead, the reason to know the course is to look ahead and remember where you want to position yourself for what's coming up, you only need to remember those critical points rather than every minor detail, it will all flow together once you begin doing this

It's a tough habit to break.

Once I learned I had to drive in favor of the section after the next, it became clear that I had to start looking instead of going by memory.

Due to my mediocre talent, I need to at least memorize my visual cues on course-the cones I'll be looking at when I'm looking ahead. Memorizing that gives me a comfort level when I'm at the start line-otherwise I'm just too nervous.

However, like I said, I'm not the 3x champ

Evolution has exercises to teach you what it means to do the things right. Not just tell you to do them.

Is that good for most street tires?

not for autox.

but that is what i got for track..
