I never thought about acceleration in all 4 directions before and LOVE that way of thinking about it.

What I love most about HPD is the way that driving on track is such an intensely kinetic experience, one that engages all your senses (and emotions), while at the same time is technical and cerebral in all the ways you describe above. Thanks for the great post!

Thank you!! Such a good point about the kinetic experience (and emotional). That feels harder to write, but maybe you have thoughts how to get it on the page?

Also I realize now I didn't post the subsequent posts on Substack yet. Here's the Pt 2 on LessWrong: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/8nmfNJ3ra9oHuQcLA/the-skills-and-physics-of-high-performance-driving-pt-2

Just read it. Looks like you're working on a book my friend. Let's talk about the chapter about managing your emotions 😃 .
