I can think of myself as a ok good driver since I have control of my car but still trying to get more used to the road, Driving has given me more confidence in myself I know how to somewhat heel and toe. (A technique that is used by professional race car drivers. It “used while braking. While your foot is on the brake, you depress the clutch, then roll your foot over to blip the throttle, while simultaneously shifting gears.”) My Dad and Brother were the one who taught me how to drive from there I started to do my own thing in secret like the heel toe technique. I know how to counter steer if I ever lose control or if I’m drifting around the corners. Keiichi has taught himself how to drive like in motorsport racing.

"The important thing is to keep trying"
"It is easy to make plans but difficult to carry them out"
"I drift not because it is a quicker way around a corner, but it is the most exciting way..."
