GTS Winter Update letters

Last winter, I wrote a series of letters to the Great Lakes Region's NASA GTS drivers on the subject of becoming faster and better racing drivers. I am re-posting these letters here in response to a number of recent requests to make them available again.

As this season's Winter Update letters are finished, I'll post them, too.

GTS Winter Updates from Winter 2009-2010

GTS Winter Update I -- Tips for going faster
GTS Winter Update II -- Tweaking your car
- Related set-up sheet
GTS Winter Update III -- The start
GTS Winter Update IV -- Dialing in your new aero
GTS Winter Update V -- An introduction to racecraft
GTS Winter Update VI -- Getting through traffic (added January 8, 2011)
GTS Winter Update VII -- Passing (added March 28, 2011)

Also, as long as I'm at it, there are a number of posts I've made over the years in this blog which may be of interest to some readers:

Corner balancing your car
Heel-and-toe double-clutch downshifting
Left-foot braking
Steering with the throttle (with a detailed description of heel-and-toe downshifting in the comments)
Driving real race cars. My favorite blog post of all, detailing a fast lap around Mid-Ohio.
Weight transfer
What it's like on a race track in and out of the rain
Why you need a HANS device

And that, as Bubba said, is about it.
