Lads, just get out on the track and ask track marshals - they will show, explain and you'll be able to try and implement it on the track - safe environment.

good vids, if you look at the how to drag knee correctly thread also shows good cornering techniques even if you dont want to drag knee, i used some of these techniques and found that at the same speed around the same corner i was on tire edge the way i usually corner but using the sitting more upright and leaning and takeing the center of gravity over my lean angle wasnt as much keepin more tire grip on the road, good advice from all thank you rubber side down.!
