I posted a link a while back about observation training for fighter pilots. Basically teaching them to change the way they viewed AND filled in the gaps that the brain leaves when you scan with your eyes. Hence why the comment “ I didn’t see him” is often the case. As for managing the power and torque delivery, that needs LEARNING either on a high power driving course or taking the time to feel the varying response in the car. There is a temptation to use a heavy right foot to try out the car. Dangerous when you have a high power/weight ratio and high torque. I took my time adjusting from the 4/4 to the Plus 8. It is so easy to get a rear end twitch in the Plus 8 if heavy footed, or early, in the lower gears. 3000rpm is a sweet spot where you feel the car come alive but the actual response varies depending on the gear selected. As the response is learned so confidence increases.
