My co-driver and I heard an instructor at a track event telling some
novices to take it easy there first couple of sessions out on track, he
said, "...only drive to about 6 tenths of your capability to get a feel for
the car and the track."
So we joke around to calm on another down before a run and tell each other,
"Keep it below 11 tenths!"
