My Profile!

Race Driver:  My profile.  Why I drive like I drive !

Confidence, Preparation, Dedication and Insanity

I am committed to racing full time. I practice as regularly as possible, fitness train everyday, spend hours in my simulator (no really!), discipline my eating, don't consume alcohol, watch all types of racing for reference, extensively prepare before each race and am essentially, completely and utterly addicted to my cause.

Confidence

Confidence comes from within, I have strong self-belief in my own abilities and always analayse my performances to see where I can improve, I see my skill as evolving with each race and not the best ever, just something that is aspiring towards that.

Preparation

Preparing for each race is essential for success. I painstakingly plan my race meetings, racing tactics and work on any weak areas.

Dedication

It takes a disciplined and dedicated person to get up at 06:00 every morning for training, to sacrifice their spare time to practice and to generally commit all their efforts to their goal.

Insanity

Motor racing involves taking risks, and any level of insanity can help to make those risks easier to take. I like taking risks!

..and of course the driving!

So you can better understand my driving, it is important to understand my mentality towards racing. This is best outlined in the following list:

  • Pole position and Fastest lap are more important that winning!
  • Hard, but Fair! (Michael Schumacher take note!)
  • Two wheels on the tarmac = car is still on the circuit
  • If it looks flat out, it’s flat!
  • Thou shall not lift
  • Kerbs rule!
  • Cones and Marker boards make nice bumper decorations
  • What rain?
  • Coming through!
  • Too fast, then bring it back
  • Motorsport is entertainment
  • Motorsport is dangerous

This should help you better understand some of my on circuit antics a little better. I’m self-programmed to follow these directives.
