Racers360 Top 3 Mistakes To Avoid At Buttonwillow 

Thanks Dion, excellent information and explanations.!!!

Actually one of the best instructive videos for BW, at least on those 3 sections. Simple but very approachable. Your Laguna Seca instructive videos were really helpful too! Dion def knows how to teach this stuff thru! One thing I was hoping to hear tho, is the smoothest line around Riverside. That part is EXTREMELY bumpy and always seems to unsettle my car too much that it loses some grip.

Hey nice tips!

That third one is super counter intuitive to me. My instinct is to help the car rotate with throttle, so lifting seems like something I would struggle with there.

Good stuff. Gonna be doing a motorcycle track day at BW on Monday, so these are good points to be thinking about.

Thank You

Thanks so much! I’m super excited for my first track day soon.

Awesome Dion, will try and put this to work tomorrow

The front nose 😊

Great pointers here, I'll tweak my line through Buttonhook based on your video and I'll see how it goes!

Just finished BW, I got turn 2 wrong so many times, and can’t get speed out that corner

Pass thru bus stop lol

All super rookie mistakes to make. Turn 2: Something that should be emphasized is throttle discipline out of turn two. Most drivers are too impatient, break traction and push themselves wide on top of it. Such a common mistake. The mistake many make is not realizing turn 2 is a great passing area. TLDR: straight line the Bus Stop chicane. If they’re running the Bus Stop chicane into Riverside (which is way more fun than just a long straight into an easy turn) and your front end is really strong, make a tiny lift to let your car get planted as you transition from the tiny right and then, aiming for the dirt on the inside of the corner, get as much of your car over the dragon’s teeth (ideally be partly on the dirt actually) and you’ll get a much straighter and better run into Riverside.

Don't forget the point that tires can only do one thing at 100% if you want 100% of grip you cannot be breaking and turning at the same time
