the instructor advised to stay in second around the turns, not to shift out but to adjust your braking start points and acceleration start points to improve cornering speed. brake pedal should be used as a toggle on off switch, and accelerator as a potentiometer gradual type switch. never punch the gas pedal, as it will create unecessary body movement and loss of traction, apply increasing steady acceleration.
