Step 1
Attain comfort with the highly responsive steering of a high-performance car before you hit the road. High-performance vehicles have sensitive steering to help you navigate around sharp corners and deal with adverse road conditions.
-
Step 2
Seek out a qualified driving instructor who can help you learn to drive a high-performance car. Former racing professionals and experienced instructors will impart a long list of stories to help you anticipate problems in expensive vehicles.
-
Step 3
Witness street and track races with high-performance cars in person to see how professionals handle their vehicles. The accessibility of drivers after professional races allows you to ask questions that will help you learn to control cars at high speeds.
-
Step 4
Experiment with courses at regional racing schools to learn braking, acceleration and management of a high-performance car. You should take one-day seminars at these schools to find the best instructional methods for your needs.
-
Step 5
Study ways to pass other cars in your performance vehicle without getting into an accident. A skilled driver can refrain from constantly using the overwhelming power of a race car and pick the right time to accelerate past competitors.
-
Step 6
Ride with an experienced driver to test out your skills in a high-performance car. An objective observer can comment on your handling of a vehicle and point out signs of common problems that race drivers face on the track.
-
Step 7
Schedule time with a drifting instructor to learn proper steering, braking and focus in a high-performance car. Drifting involves the use of extreme acceleration and turning to make a vehicle rotate along an imaginary circle.
-
Step 8
Break the habit of using your right foot for braking and accelerating as you learn to drive a high-performance car. You can effectively manage quick turns and drifts on the track by using your left foot for braking.
