    My goal is NOT to become a racer but instead become a better driver and be able to control my vehicle at high speeds.

    So far after googling, i found the following recommendations:
    - practice using go karts - I've inquired at circuit Makati but it seems wala cla program. Kelangan ko lang cguro pumunta dun every weekend and practice. Then race with other folks na nandun.

    - racing school - yung Tuazon racing school, requirement nila ata is familiarization with manual tranny. It's been 10 years since I've driven a manual tranny though I play with the (+/-) on my cars.

    - racing simulator - I don't know what I need to buy for this yet.
    - practice on the race track - I want to feel confident before I go here.


    Any other suggestions?

    Just follow the MSDP (Motorsport Development Program) page on FB. They hold different modules for anyone looking to hone their driving skills.

    Module 1 is usually held at the Megatent in Libis. 2.5k entry fee. They conduct this several times a year. You'll learn the basics of car balance especially under braking and cornering - once you learn these things, you can practice even in regular driving as it will help you become a smoother driver.



    Then you can join a few trackdays. You don't have to join the more hardcore ones like FORS and PEC. Try starting with Touge Battle - much less stress on the car and less pressure on you as a driver since the community is very chill and accommodating. All sorts of cars join here, from entry level Mirages to Ferraris so you'll find your niche somewhere in the middle.

    Most of my classmates are young kids who are better and faster drivers than most of us here.
