Mercedes-Benz just taught me how to drive like Jackie Stewart!
Okay, maybe not - few people can drive like the legendary "wee Scot" who won the Formula 1 championship three times in the late 1960's and early 1970's. But thanks to Mercedes-Benz's Driving Academy and their recent "Mastering Performance" course at Castrol Raceway near Edmonton, I learned some great techniques aimed at making me a better driver - and one of those techniques was pioneered by Sir Jackie himself.
It's called "trail braking," and if you can drive a manual transmission you'll find it quite similar to using the clutch. But more about that later.
