    Have you ever heard of "Thumbs Up Driving"?
    ---
    It is highly recommended style how to hold the steering wheel for both drifting and grip racing purposes.
    ---
    When you learn how to counter-steer, it is safe to position your thumbs out from the steering wheel.
    ---
    Don't hold steering wheel like no tomorrow, and don't grab shift knob for no reason while just cursing.
    ---
    Relax your hands and happy driving!

    If you have been driving for a while and don't feel like improving much, you might have bad driving habits!
    ---
    It is very important to analyze the issues and to have right coaches to make the adjustments in right ways.
    ---
    It is better to find them sooner than too late, right?

    Haste makes Waste. Don't rush!
    ---
    Take your time to set up the car & feel the car for each change you make.
    ---
    We know many people had changed the car set ups at once to save money and time.
    ---
    They realized cars didn't handle the way they expected, more like...they made them worse than before.
    ---
    They ended up spending more money and time to make it work right.
    ---
    So, change the set up 1 by 1.
