DAY 71: Stage 3 Practical Lesson 3.01 Driving in Circuit

Managed to get another try sell night lesson. Tonight I started my Stage 3 subject. The first lesson was familiarizing with the roads in the circuit. We drove around the circuit, with the instructor giving directions (change lane, turn left, turn right etc). Roads in the circuit are narrower and shorter. There are some parts where I need to perform lane change immediately followed by a left turn after a right turn. In addition, the traffic light only remain green for 6s.


Things to take note:

• Maximum gear 2 in circuit. 
• Left/right turn with gear 1
• To reduce vibration while gear 1 (due to car speed too slow), fully clutch in
• Turn left after sign board, turn right before. Eg if instructor tells you to turn left on 4, it is to turn into the lane AFTER the no 4 sign board (which is the S course). If it is a right turn it would be into the lane before the sign board (which is the same S course).
