Driving a racetrack is a very technical behavior which requires precise control of the vehicle, knowledge of the track layout and conditions as well as the ability to make split-second decisions. Factors such as tire wear, fuel consumption and weather conditions are playing an important role as well as the right braking point, entry of the corner and what your eyes are aiming to while you orchestrate a car at the physical limit. In a more professional environment, racers must be able to work with their teams and make adjustments to the car’s setup to optimize performance.

 

Under the line it is more than helpful to understand the physics behind the crucial parts of your car as well as the basics of driving dynamics to learn fast and making proper progress during your journey. What sounds a bit like rocket science in the beginning is based on facts and figures which is easier to learn step by step together with a coach instead of learning it the hard way in the worst case or never learn it at all, struggling in the process and ending the project in frustration bevor it really started.
