Cornering preference?
« on: February 24, 2008, 08:35:45 PM »
This may sound strange but i seem to prefer left handers. Not that i don,t feel confident on rights, i just enjoy left handers more, don,t know why Anyone else have this strange mindset or am i just a freak! :tongue3: :tongue3:

Rights were best for me, to many roundabouts. Never really bothered about it until last year on  track days when never realy felt confident on tighter left handers, couldn't stop myself backing of a bit to be safe. Found a couple of nice lefts near home and practised, much happier now.

I thought about all my favourite bends and it struck me it's how good the bend is that counts, rather than it's direction.
