I'll disagree with this, at least personally. For me, I can't compensate
automatically for drift. So on, for example, street tires, I have to look
WELL inside the cone, and rely on experience that the car will carry
outside the cones. On a particular course on street tires in the rain, I
recall deliberately looking almost four FEET inside a particular cone.
Results were perfect and I did extremely well at that event.
Ideally I could look at where I *want* to be and mentally compensate so
that I turn in more/earlier, but the reality for me is that I have to do
it the other way around.
