This was my second time as in instructor at a high speed event. I had two great students, one novice with an E30 and one advanced with an (original) M Coupe. I learned a lot, specially about communication. When you're instructing someone there is no room for ambiguity. Words and commands must be firm and clear. There are certain experessions that just don't cut it at a racetrack.
I also learned more about different learning and communication styles. I had to adjust to my student's needs.
The M Coupe was fantastic, again! Solid, stable, rewarding and last but not least good looking.
Also, this was my first time with R-Comp tires in the Coupe. I used the OZ Ultraleggera wheels with Toyo RA-1 that I bought from Fernando. Since I'm still growing into this car and I was nursing the tires to last, I can't say it was a night an day difference. However, I wouldn't want to run without R-Comp ever again. (big grin)
