Things Even Car Enthusiasts Get Wrong!

About this episode

The episode discusses common misconceptions among car enthusiasts regarding driving techniques and vehicle dynamics.

Today we’re talking about the stuff even car enthusiasts get wrong on the road and on track — from confusing grip with handling, to misunderstanding weight transfer, to treating traction control like the enemy… and why “driving fast” still doesn’t automatically mean “driving well”. Expect pub-chat honesty, a few uncomfortable truths, and the usual detours into tyres, steering habits, heel-and-toe, hydroplaning myths, and the kind of driving confidence that probably needs adult supervision.
