"Here’s the way it’s supposed to work............. keeping that apex in your peripheral vision."
My problem (and its not just related to track driving) is that 'tho my peripheral vision is fine (that is, my eye sight works at the peripheries) my brain only concentrates on what I'm looking at directly. So if I'm looking through the cars' windows in front of me looking for brake lights up in front I might not be aware of the car directly in front of me slowing down. Another example, I'm looking (not glancing) at my revision mirror and my peripheral vision sees the car in front slowing down but I'm concentrating on my mirror so I'm not aware of the car in front. Just sitting at my monitor here, if I wiggle fingers at the sides of my head I have to concentrate on seeing my fingers and even tho the text is right in front of me I am no longer concentrating on the text but my moving fingers.
I don't find this to be much of a problem because I have taught my self to be constantly moving my field of view, that is don't stare at the one object for long but it makes the looking ahead at track a little tricky because if I'm looking a head I lose awareness of the track near by.
Advice would be welcome.


(Wow, long story)
