Just do it and learn as you compete . That's what I did and got soundly thrashed in the process but that's how you learn technique -- getting it wrong :roll: Basically sprinting is (apart from somewhere like Goodwood) contained aggression . Nothing too harsh -- turning , braking , accelerating etc . A mix of gentleness and aggression :wink:
