Two things that seem to have gone missing from instructor repertoires that I've noticed compared to 10 years ago when air cooled cars were more common on track at DE events:

1) Get your braking done early, and in a straight line. Then accelerate towards the apex.
(Carrying cornering speed seems to be more of a focus now)

2) Two feet down if you get into trouble on track, (a mid corner spin or sideways action for instance)

Was this flawed thinking?
Is it just the newer instructors lacking the early car perspective?
Is there a better (safer for those with limited skills) way?
