      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!

      ---
      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.
