RE: Learning to Race and setup
OK, slow is fast, that's all you need to know. Go slow, build confidence, and you'll get faster and faster. Watch the line others take around the track, make mental notes of when they slow down and when they accelerate. When racing it's all about the number of COMPLETED laps, go hard in qualifying, but take it easy in the race, if you finish the race, you will never come last, someone ALWAYS breaks something. Concentrate on not being marshalled and building consistency.
