When you start a new hobby, you can always decide for yourself whether you want to try it out on your own in the beginning or whether you want to get professional help right away. The advantages and disadvantages are obvious: On your own, you can out for yourself first and probably quickly realize whether the subject suits you at all. Especially when it comes to driving on a racetrack, these are actually the advantages. Driving directly with a coach has the following advantages:

Racetracks usually have run-off zones and gravel beds that offer you additional safety and room for error when driving. The Nordschleife has something like a gravel bed on 3 out of 73 corners and otherwise only the expensive crash barrier. There is little room for error here and in the best-case scenario you end up at „Aremberg Beach“, one of the few places where it only costs the 300€ for the tow truck.

Mistakes that creep in right at the beginning are very difficult to iron out later. A coach at your side teaches you how to do it right from the start. How do I sit in the car, what are the right driving techniques and which line is the right one? Learning the basics on your own is difficult, but with a coach you will always get a complete analysis and professional feedback on where you stand and whether what you are doing is right.

If you choose something like football as your sport, you have a fairly manageable budget at the beginning with a ball and the right football shoes. To drive a racetrack, the sports equipment „car“ is many times more expensive and with it the financial risk in case of an accident or just the wrong driving style and the associated high wear and tear costs. The coach at your side is unrivalled for minimizing risk and is therefore the best way to use your budget as sensibly, safely and efficiently as possible.

You have concrete goals such as specific lap times or achieving a racing license? The coach can develop a training program for you right from the start to achieve your goals quickly and efficiently.

The same applies to correcting mistakes. You have already practiced on your own but have problems with a specific section, a particular situation or overcoming a specific problem? The coach can help you to the next level with his analysis and the solutions developed from it.
