Master a race track with our FREE track tutorials

 Learn how to drive specific race tracks with our in-depth tutorial series.  We go far beyond teaching "the line," revealing track variations, how to use banking, when to use curbs/gaiters to your advantage, and how to use secret techniques to eek out a few extra tenths of lap-time reduction.  On average, we can save drivers a full second per lap if if they purchase our downloadable versions with annotated track maps. 


 Achieve faster lap times in time trials, high performance driver's education (HPDE), club racing, or endurance racing.  The best drivers simply perform the fundamentals better, and more consistently, but the fundamentals are not obvious. We'll illustrate the fastest way around a race track without "dumbing down" the content.  You'll learn the optimal way to approach:


  1. The racing line
  2. Finding the limit of traction
  3. Learning YOUR limits, and exceeding them safely.
  4. Braking techniques
  5. How and why to use every centimeter of the track width
  6. Seeking out banking and how to take advantage
  7. How to avoid off-camber surfaces
  8. How to keep the car happy and settled
  9. Which curbs to run over and which to avoid?
  10. Assessing traction variations based on track surfaces
  11. Wind and weather considerations (e.g. dust)
  12. Orientation of the car at apex
  13. When and how to apply FULL THROTTLE!

Amazing 13-second improvement

We go beyond driving "The optimal line"

Braking, braking, braking..

The real difference-maker between intermediate and advanced drivers, the thing that separates the rest from the best, is the release of the brake pedal during corner entry.  It's all about the progressive reduction in braking force as you turn in toward the apex.


If you ask drivers how they think they can improve lap times, most will say, "Brake later." This fallacy stems from entry-level instructors teaching flawed technique.  If you simply brake later, you'll likely end up braking harder, and your car will arrive at the end-of-braking zone "on its nose."  This results in having to overslow the car to rotate toward the apex, causing an artificially low entry speed.  In short, many drivers tend to "drag race" to the end of the straightaway and brake as late as possible, and then "park" the car at the end of the straight and enter the corner much too slowly. 


In our tutorials, we pay copious attention to the rate and release of the brake pedal, as well as demystifying "trail braking" and when soft-braking is faster than hard-braking.  Many of the techniques you'll learn are counterintuitive and fly in the face of HPDE instruction.  We'll need to "unteach" you a few things, and recalibrate you to think differently about braking techniques.  If you're up for the challenge, we can get you faster in the braking zones, not by braking harder and later, but by braking properly.
