Track Control

[caprihorse]

In many situations it is important to asses the track and properly take the own judgment looking at previous cars, driving the same track in the convoy. In the following pictures, you can see what can happen if somebody is just driving into the situation, where is required in a fragment of moment the right decision, in terms of track control and proper speed.
These are the basic factors in everybody's learning curve in an early stage. If you learn it wrongly from the beginning, it will be very difficult later to make corrections.

What has to be avoided?

1. To not properly asses the territory
2. To not to watch previous cars (track control, speed, amount of the sand coming from the tyres, sand contrast, etc.)
3. Low momentum/low speed
4. High speed
5. Drinking juice or water during extreme section
6. To be over-confident

What can happen, if not following above rules?

1. Additional rounds (for the enjoyment of on-watching buddies)
2. Getting stuck (not very much for the enjoyment of on-watching buddies)
3. Pop-out (not very much for the enjoyment of on-watching buddies)
4. Roll-over (not fun at all)

If you look at following pictures, is the situation for you somehow familiar?



Some of the footage used, is thanks to Syamnair and his camera positioned at the right spot and moment.

Thanks capri. I did feel the car react in a different way after the short climb. Thanks for the tips as always. Paparazzi shots like these do serve as an inspiration to further develop my offroad game.

It just shows that you need to be on top of your senses all the time. Learn and develop.
