All my life, I have been racing.
Whether it was Karts, Cars, Mario Kart, Gran turismo, RFactor2, or iRacing.
I have been chasing perfection with my driving for all of this time and don't plan on stopping.
I won a national Karting Championship and pushed to racing cars. I never raced cars in real life due to funding, so I turned to the simulator.
Racing simulators allowed me to scratch my itch of wanting to drive and push my limits.
I have invested thousands of hours into practising various cars and tracks to reach a high racing standard.
In the last year, I have progressed more than I had in the previous 3.
Not because I practised more, but because I practised differently.
I stopped driving aimlessly.
I built systems.
I structured progression.
I focused on technique and racecraft with intention.
Now, I can jump into almost any car and any track and quickly learn to drive it fast. Because I understand the learning process.
That same structured approach is what I use to coach my drivers.

Double turning in is when a driver turns towards the corner slightly way before they should, and then they turn in later on when they are right at the corner.
It is surprisingly common with beginner drivers.
Trailbraking is a technique that, when applied correctly, makes you incredibly quick, but when applied incorrectly, it can make you slower and prone to spinning.
Understand that by slowly releasing the brakes, we are keeping weight on our front tyres, which gives them more grip, allowing you to turn in easier.
I always coach people to understand weight transfer in depth before learning this technique as it is the foundation behind it.
Take the time to learn the knowledge and principles behind driving techniques before you apply them, and you will see results.
Vague knowledge + trial and error will make you progress, but it will be limited.
Strong knowledge + implementation leads to consistent, fast progression.
People do not take the time to understand these concepts before they try and learn something difficult,
they then wonder why they are barely improving.
Weight transfer is a skill you should master. It is affecting the car all of the time. If you don't take the time to understand how it works, then you are going to struggle to drive the car anywhere near its limits. Attempting to learn skills like trailbraking without understanding weight transfer makes them useless.
I always teach people their fundamental driving skills before moving onto advanced techniques because these alone will make you a lot faster, improve your clarity, and allow you to fully utilise specific driver techniques.
If you want to use the exact driver progression process, I used to 4X my progression in 1 year.
Comment 'Progression' and I will send it to you.
Increasing my progression by 4X did not happen on accident.
I had to stop guessing when I was practising. I took the time to analyse my driving and work out my key limitations so I could then focus on developing these skills. I created a system that consistently brings improvement to my driving.
Most people waste time by aimlessly practising, picking a random driver technique to learn, which they think will help them, but it does the opposite.
They hit a limitation and lose clarity as they jump from focusing trailbraking to momentum etc.
They fully understand what is going to make them faster.
Comment 'progression' and I will send you the structure I used to 4X my progression.
The faster car utilises more brake pressure on the first corner, rotating the car quickly so it an stay tight to the corner and get back on the power earlier, on the next corner it carries more speed into the corner and trailbrakes better to rotate more.
The difference is in the braking pressure, there are only slight differences in the cars line.
