Gloves
I want to get a pair of gloves for when I do HPDEs. Last time I was out there my hands really got torn up. Any suggestions? Really don't need anything over the top.

Lol I was relaxed but from the shuffling it basically blistered my palms up near my fingers. What can I say I've got that baby skin. lmao

I was anti shuffle and was always taught not to shuffle my hands around when I autocrossed. My last instructor said I should shuffle a bit so that in the event something got a wee bit out of control I would have more range of control and my arms wouldn't cross.

I tell students to keep their hands in one place on the wheel. If you are constantly moving your hands around it disturbs how you are driving. If you grasp the wheel in the same place each time you can tell whether you are doing a corner the same way each time since your hands/arms will always be in same position when the wheel is turned. For instance going around T9 at the Glen. From the point I make the initial turn in my right elbow is locked and my arm is in the same position from lap to lap. Once I point this out to students and they start doing it they get a lot faster.

That's what I was originally taught and what I was comfortable with. Trust me I'm anti-shuffle because I like knowing where center is.
