The C(rank) to the S course

Being a private student, I didn't get to go into the circuit till like after 8 lessons. One common 'must-know' for most of the stations is the correct turning point. So why do I have just one post solely for the S and Crank courses. I'm sure there are peeps out there like me that have problems initially with these stations. It took me like 3 visits to the circuit and a lot of mounting and striking kerbs before I could even do these stations without a hitch.

Let's start with the S course first. At BBDC, it always start with a turn to the left. My reference in this case is actually just slightly after the side mirror passes the kerb, full lock to the left and that will take you into the course without striking or horrors, mount the kerb!

Once in, I would turn the wheel slightly to the right and concentrate on the front of the car. When you see the bonnet covering the kerb (it may look like you are going over the kerb but not too worry there, it will not) quickly adjust the wheel to the right. By doing so, the car will be more or less in the centre. You can take a quick glance at the side mirror on the passenger's side which will give me an idea how much allowance you have on the other side. Now you start adjusting your car according to the course but when you head to the next 'turn', the bonnet rule applies. Bonnet covers kerb, quickly turn to the right.
Same principle applies on the left turn and after that, you are at the end of the S course.

For the crank course, you have to be really, really accurate on your turning points and fast on the wheel. For left entry into the course, once the side mirror is at parallel to the entry kerb, full lock to the left and once car is almost straightened, very important return the wheel straight, i.e. 2 rounds to the right. This way you do not have to turn like mad when you hit the next curve. Again, turning point is the kerb, full lock to the right and repeat the motion. One more turn to the left and you're done. For entry from the right, you can just turn into the course and just follow the mirror, kerb, full lock move after that.

A note on speed, you have to really learn to control that. Afterall, it's a short course and you will need the time to turn the wheel.
