Use Data Acquisition to Be a Better Driver
Data acquisition systems never lie. However, they don’t always tell the whole story. Or perhaps more accurately, it’s difficult to dig deep enough into the data to reveal the whole story.
Use Driving Simulators (& Other Tools) to Improve Your Track Driving
A driving simulator is a tool – a tool to help you learn and improve your driving. Use to learn a track, how to adapt to problems, getting up to speed quickly, getting and staying in the zone, maintaining and regaining focus, and much more.
Use Every Tool to Improve Your Performance Driving
In-car video, data acquisition / telemetry, track maps, notes, debrief forms, other drivers and engineers, instructors and coaches, observation from a corner, stopwatch / timer, track walks, TV coverage… All of these are the tools can be used to improve your driving.
Use More Track to Drive Faster
If you decrease the radius of a turn by not using all the track, your maximum speed will be significantly reduced. There is no reason not to use all the track surface on the entry to a turn… or at the apex… or at the exit.
Using An Early Apex – Speed Secrets Quick Tip
Early apexes are always bad, right? Not really. In this video I talk about two different drivers who turn the same lap time, and yet one turns in and apexes earlier than the other (in fact, this driver was slightly faster). Where you apex, and get back to power is all in how you rotate the car on the entry of the turn, and that’s what I’m talking about here.
