I think that "ordinary mortals" have really little concept of the skill levels at the top of any class and speaking personally, having the ability to judge the value in lap time of, say, aero changes that find a few tents through certain corners is something I cant't get my head round.
Balance is what it is all about I am told, "it just comes" say drivers who started racing just out of potty training. We get blasé when comparing times to 3 decimal places, we point out that a driver is way off pace if he is more than half a second off target, try measuring that on the stopwatch on your phone!
When I got down to an 11+ at Croft in my Mallock I was chuffed, Geoff Friswell then did an 8! 😟
