I\u2019ve also answered similar questions to yours on these Ask Ross pages, so take a look around.<\/p>\n<p>What are the &#8220;keys&#8221;? Preparation is THE key. Pros don&#8217;t just show up at a track and go out and learn the track. They&#8217;ve done a ton of prep. Also, pros have driven so many different tracks that they can relate a corner from a new track to some other corner they&#8217;ve driven in the past. The more tracks a driver drives, the easier it is to learn another new one.<\/p>\n<p>Competing in autocross can teach you how to figure out how to get around a corner or series of corners quickly. But guess what? The best autocrossers prepare better than most others (course walks, mental imagery, course\/track notes, etc.), so that brings us back to THE KEY \u2013 preparation.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, many drivers focus too much on learning and driving the &#8220;ideal line,&#8221; and not enough on just driving the car to its limit (or as close as you&#8217;d like to drive to the limit). That&#8217;s why I say, &#8220;Drive the car, not the track.&#8221; When you drive your car to, or close to the limit, it will tell you where you should be on the track.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: \u201cWhat are the keys to learning a new track and getting up to speed quickly like the pro-drivers do?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35277","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ask-ross"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/speedsecrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35277","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/speedsecrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/speedsecrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/speedsecrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/speedsecrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35277"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/speedsecrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35277\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35280,"href":"https:\/\/speedsecrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35277\/revisions\/35280"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/speedsecrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35277"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/speedsecrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35277"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/speedsecrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35277"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
