Track lines on various cars: WAS Delrin or Poly bushings? Worth it?

[Ed Kellock]

Your words not mine.  I merely suggested that an instructor who
instructs more often at AWD-oriented driving schools might have a
better idea of what line works better for AWD cars.  You took it over
and made it your own statement.  So own it.  Don't insinuate your
meaning into my words.

Your argument originally is that there is only one proper line.  I disagree.

Scott-
I know all of this, obviously you cannot drive every car the exact
same way, however
I disagree with your contention that you would want to turn in earlier
with a better handling
car- you turn in so that you clip the apex, not before, not after.
 
I think you are confusing entry/exit speed with turn-in point.
 
I still think that Ed is incorrect in thinking that just by merely
being a q-club instructor
would automatically qualify that instructor as being a better
instructor for an Audi owner
than a non-q-club instructor. A good instructor can feel and see what
is going on and
provide insight into how the driver can improve upon his/her actions.
A good instructor
is also not necessarily the fastest driver. I've had excellent
instruction from guys who are
very good at telling me what I'm doing wrong and what I can do to
improve upon what I'm
doing. These guys were not necessarily the fastest- one guy was a
stone, in fact- he could
only achieve maybe 80% of his car's capability, but he was still a
good INSTRUCTOR.
