Speed Secrets Stories provide you with a glimpse of my past experiences that have led to much of what I know and share with you today. They’re meant to entertain, educate and inspire. Okay, those are pretty lofty goals – actually, I’ve just enjoyed writing them, and now I want to share them with you.
Peter Krause and Ross Bentley take you on a Virtual Track Walk of Lime Rock Park, illustrating the ideal line, pointing out reference points, identifying which are the most important corners, and where to find the grip (as well as sharing driving tips that’ll make you faster at any track). With over two hours of content, this video will help you drive this challenging track faster than ever, whether it’s your first time there, or you’ve driven it many times.
The best drivers use their hearing better than other drivers. Your car is talking to you – sounds from the engine, tires, wind noise, and so on. How well you listen determines how fast you’ll be.
Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. We cannot not think about something. If we think, “Don’t make a mistake,” our mind only hears, “make a mistake.” It doesn’t register the “don’t.” The harder you try to avoid making a mistake, the more likely it is that you’ll make it. How many times have you felt yourself heading for the edge of the track – and a little beyond – and tried to avoid it by steering away from the edge… only to have the car hook up and spin towards the inside of the track?
Expectations are limitations, and you rarely exceed your expectations. They program results into your mind, and your mind is very efficient at running those programs – sometimes too efficient!
