What is precisely the fastest way to drive around the track, what I mean is should you be revmatching when downshifting and is it better to go through the gears or say revmatch straight downfrom 5th to 3rd.

When cornering are you going faster if the tyres are squealing or faster when they are not, and is a little bit of oversteer in the corner detremental to the fastest lap time, what I mean is ass out when exiting.

And stuff like scandinavian flick , is this good to go fastest, and what about trail braking? or left foot braking?

Given all these different variables wwhats the fastest approach, I know the fact is the racing line is fastest, im just more interested in the physics of the way the car is moving around the corners etc..

some great replies and insight about track driving.

What I can take from all this is just go out there and get the experience and learn all the things myself and see how it all works.

My experience level is beginner, but I am going to start doing trackdays this year, I have an MX5 and also ride a suzuki gs550, so the world is my oyster really.
