Stewart used to show up at Ford's Dearborn test track and drive the
handling course with a large salad bowl looking dish (with gently curving
sides) attached to the hood with a small ball in it. He'd then proceed to
lap the track at speed without ever having having the ball come out of the
dish - an indication of how smooth he drove.
He'd also modulate the brakes on a complete stop so that it was impossible
to see the nose dive & recover.

I'll second that! Works for motorcycles as well as cars. ...
There was an article I read years ago. The reporter for some car mag went
to a racing school. First exercise was going round the track with a glass
of water on the dash. Try not to spill it.
The reporter was bored, wanted to go fast.

Oh, yeah, actually he is Jackie Stewart."
