When you want to learn about driving high-performance cars, go to the people who do it for a living—race-car drivers.
One of the best is Randy Pobst, two-time IMSA Firestone Firehawk Touring champion, four-time SCCA World Challenge GT champion, 1996 North American Touring Car Champion, and two-time winner of the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona. When it comes to driving, I think you'll agree that Randy knows what he's talking about.
Randy is ready to spread around his expert knowledge in a new YouTube series on the Motor Trend Channel. The program is called The Racing Line and is sponsored by the Tire Rack. The first episode—which you can view below—is called “Oversteer—The Party Drug of Driving!
He could have chosen any one of a number of capable, high-performance cars with which to demonstrate the various aspects of oversteer in high-performance situations, but the car he ended up selecting was obvious, and obviously the best choice: the BMW M3.
So watch and learn—or re-learn—depending on your skill and practice levels. Enjoy the show, the driver, and the M3.—Scott Blazey
