Has Your Track Driving Plateaued?
With performance track driving there is always room for improvement. Problem is, many don’t know how to go about practicing and improving in a safe and effective manner. Maybe you’ve just been promoted into a faster run group and no longer have an instructor, or maybe you’re a racer looking for those last couple tenths. Let’s ensure you’re headed in the right direction.
Are you driving each session with specific purpose? Or do you find yourself arbitrarily lapping?
It’s one thing to be taking the same lap over and over, solidifying your current habits. It’s another to be learning something each lap. Practice only makes habit, perfect practice makes progress. I want to be sure we are answering questions each session deciding what works and what doesn’t. Regression is arguably as important as progression- point is that we’re really leaning something each lap.
Track Driver Coaching Can Take You To The Next level.
Did you know your car talks to you? Not verbally of course, but through the seat of your pants. Unlike riding a horse, the car will always do exactly what you tell it to. Sometimes we tell it to crash straight into the wall even if we didn’t mean to. It is my job as a coach to teach you the language the car speaks, how to interpret it, and how to elicit the right response to the car.
