The reason I found the track helpful was because it seems to have helped me negotiating any unexpectedness in corners. I admit I'd caught myself previously reaching for the brakes when I found a 1/2 lane wide pothole on the outside of a country bend - which put me in an even more dangerous situation. Not done the same since (touch wood )

IAM helped me with hazard perception/smoothing stuff out. Definitely made me slower and more paranoid though, not too ársed.
