Smooth Is Fast: Driving Analog in a Digital World

There’s a difference between controlling a car and simply operating it. The key to fast laps—and better driving in general—is being smooth.

The best drivers treat every input like a dial, not a switch.

Digital driving looks like this: all on the gas, all off. Abrupt brake. Sharp turn-in. Everything is either 0 or 100.

Analog driving looks like this: progressive throttle, smooth brake release, fluid steering. Every action blends into the next.

You can tell when someone’s smooth—just watch their passengers. If heads are flopping side to side like bobbleheads, the driver is too jerky. But when inputs are clean and consistent, g-forces build gradually, giving passengers time to brace and stabilize. The car feels fast, but also planted and controlled.

Smooth inputs keep the car balanced. Sudden moves shift weight unpredictably, unsettle grip, and make everything harder. Smooth driving helps you use every bit of available traction—and that’s what actually makes you faster – and safer.

Whether you're heel-toeing into a corner or just navigating traffic, smooth driving is always the move.

This doesn’t mean slow. It means deliberate. Smooth is fast.
