You must understand that one driver’s driving is different from another driver.
Mainly there are two driving styles. They are,
1. Orthodox style
This is applying circuit trained skills, towards the downhill. Most drivers are this type. This is conventional, normal way of doing things.
2. Unorthodox style
This type of driver is peculiar type. This style is an irregular style. A product of the street. The result of high speed driving on only one stage; the downhill.
These two styles are very different from each other. It’s like Fast bowler vs Spinner. It’s about the nature of driving.
You must be aware of this fact when making your strategy against the opponent. Using same style against the same style means failure from the beginning. The best way to beat from the very beginning is to use different styles.
This is very important when you face against a highly skilled driver with exceptional orthodox style skills. They have motorsports techniques cultivated on the circuit. If your opponent doesn’t use the same style as you, therein lays the only chance of beating him on the downhill.
Not only that this serves as a diversion technique. When your opponent is confused, his calculations he get from observation won’t be accurate. That will lead him to make mistakes.
And when he is confused you can put more pressure on him. If he can’t endure the pressure he will lose. Or you can easily sell a dummy to him and make him fall in your trap.
However you can’t change your driving style. This works only if you compete in teams. Otherwise you have to come up with strategy considering characteristics associate with each driving style regarding your opponent.
Thank you.
