What’s incredible about the one hand steering isn’t driving with one hand. If one specialised in one hand steering to the fullest following is the end phenomenon.
The unique thing about one hand steering is you can achieve exactly same timing at different lines. It’s different from normal theory. Normally it is impossible to be fast, using different lines which are apart from the ideal line. But if you excel at one hand steering, even on random lines, enough torque at the right points can result in matching times. To do that you should have excellent course knowledge + tire management + concentration + stamina + internal clock + etc. Moreover this can be use as a diversion (confusion) tactic and or pressure tactic to disrupt opponent’s rhythm and screw his line and make him fall into your trap.
Train this technique with careful planning, because this is good practice for you. This is the next step; increasing the number of techniques to choose from. Nothing clear-cut; more like an expansion of basic fundamentals is what you need. Because during a serious drive, any absolute standard is gonna bye bye. For example, there could be one ideal line (for time attack) you can draw on a map, but in the real world, there’s any number of lines to choose from (for drive). Put simply a drive means trying to screw up the opponent’s line. So long as you tear his down and stick to your own, there’s no way he can pass you. Being able to use any line – that’s the real deal. One hand steering is the path to that.
Through practicing the one hand steering, you’ll notice that if you fully utilise your tires, then no matter what line you take, it won’t make much difference in lap times. Following that thinking, the resulting line is what which most effectively use the tires. That’s what the ideal line is!
It is very difficult to face such an opponent who has mastered this technique. That type of a driver can drive so smoothly so he doesn’t leave any strong impression at all. But if you time him, he is the fastest. It’s something beyond the common notion of what driving technique should be.
If you were ever to face such an opponent, by now you should be able to understand the exit strategy.
Thank you.
