Where should you actually be looking in tandem?
Most people tell new drivers to watch the lead car’s front wheels in tandem. What’s the problem with that you ask? Early on, that often causes chase drivers to dive too far inside and nearly pass the lead car.
What we teach works much better: start by focusing on the rear quarter panel, just above the rear wheel. This helps newer drivers understand proper positioning and spacing during the first couple laps.
Once you’re comfortable and consistent, THEN shift your focus to the front wheel.
We also strongly recommend practicing with someone you trust. You don’t want to be the stranger at the event wrecking peoples cars
