Ahhhh yes. Daddy issues. Afraid to disappoint and have the gear engage too abruptly.
Counseling. Therapy. Talk it through with your father. Let him know what behaviors make you nervous and how you two can co-exist in more of a loving relationship as opposed to authoritative.
Let us know how this convo goes with your dad.  |
He drives manual really good but my heel toe rev matching is above average. Until hes in the car I either release it to early or rev higher than normal. Like wtf |
He's got decades of experience on you. Understand that no matter how many years you log heel/toe'ing, his experience just goes up as well, until he stops driving lol.
Don't worry about catching up to your old man's skill level. Focus on your technic, focus on smoothness, focus on form et all. You think your dad didn't have unsmooth era? Experience and time. You'll get there. Just stop worrying so much about not being as good as your dad, you just end up psyching yourself out.
