Instructed a Boxster driver that was a Police officer. Tried to autocross driving with his hands at 8, 4 and shuffle steering like they teach to keep from getting an arm/face broken if the airbag goes off. He had trouble both steering fast enough and steering accuracy. Told him shuffle steering was great for keeping the airbag from breaking an arm, but was not very accurate on the track. Showed him 9,3 hand position and holding the wheel with the opposite had of the direction you were turning until you had rotated the wheel more than 180° then doing hand over instead of shuffle. He scoffed saying shuffle was how they taught him in police training. After a couple of laps said it was a lot more accurate and faster. Told him for airbags on the street it's the 8 to 4 shuffle, on the track or no airbags it's 9 to 3 hand over.
