My Virtual Training!

Race Driver:  My virtual training.  How hard I like to train my brain!

Training to WIN!

I take my own physical and mental preparation for race driving very, very seriously as it is essential for success. This of course is true in any sport, you will not find a single high level athlete or world class sports person who doesn’t.

This section is dedicated to the mental perparation side of racing. By this I mean the brain and its performance and mental state when driving a race car in races. I'll write more details on this soon, in the meantime I've a few suggestions for everyone wanting to do some virtual training themselves.

Books!

One of the best, and cheapest ways to prepare for motor racing is by reading up on the subject.

DVD's / TV / Internet!

Another cheap way to prepare is to refer to reference, watching a race shouldn't leave you thinking .."Wow! that was fast.", it should be seen a bit more more as, "..oh I see the lead guy takes this line / amount of kerb through that section."!

Race simulators

Another cheap (ish) way to prepare for racing, is to do some virtual racing, a PC, Xbox or Playstation can actually teach you a few things. More on this coming soon.
