Default a suggestion

Sorry this is a little conceptual for words, so hopefully the explanation is sufficient. You seemed to be doing fairly well, but go back and watch your hands: steering input is a little notchy.

Early corrections are small corrections. The sooner you recognize an adjustment is necessary and execute the change pays dividends in smoothness. At some point corrections of line cannot be observed since they become constant, minute changes in pressure at the wheel; not necessarily an obvious change in steering angle. The more you practice this, the more smooth you become.

Make an initial goal of trying to minimize changes in steering input between apex and track-out, then apply earlier and earlier. Your head can 'calculate' where the car will 'land' for trackout. COntinue predicting and observing this as early in the turn as possible. If you consider the apex as a fixed point in the arc of the turn (you must hit the apex) your track-out point is a consequence of your turn-in point and your speed.

Make sense? Otherwise, come out to Buttonwillow and I will show you. ;-)
