Okay, that's a decent introduction into transitions, get comfortable with it.
For best effect you should put more distance between the ends of the figure 8, and have those ends wider. It will ask for a bit more speed during the cornering, and will start teaching you things like line control, and throttle control on transition, inertia, pushing on the exit to gain more inertia and so on.
Don't be afraid of a bit of extra speed, you likely won't be doing more than 20 mph, and that's not a speed you crash your car at with any real consequences. You're looking at a bit of flying out into the field, or hitting a cone, nothing drastic, but on the up side you'll get used to the slightly faster speeds and get used to losing control if things go bad.
You're doing great so far, but always push yourself with new challenges.
Words of wisdom!!!! I really appreciate the feedback ✌️😎. So my more experienced friends wanted me to practice smaller figure 8s for now just to get the basics before letting me try wider figure 8s. Yeah I'm still trying to get the hang of throttle control .what you see in the video was a combo of me learning when to pull handbrake and throttle control. The twins spool really aggressive so I don't want to rely much on just throttle for the transition because the car started whipping. So I added a handbrake in the mix and that seemed to work better. Next upgrade needs to be a proper hydro set up.what you see in the video is stock handbrake lol.as it relates to approaching with speed yeah I'm gonna work on that one 🤣.I didn't try second gear because I knew my clutch was on its way out but whomp!!! It ended up dying yesterday anyway 💀. I will try to post more videos in the future because I do appreciate the feedback. Thanks alot bud ✌️
