Driving a Race Track and How It Differs From Road Driving…..or something like that

Taking an example of London roads there isn’t much difference : ) If any of you guys has ever driven flat out over a period of time on a track then you will know there is a huge difference.

The good thing is that driving on a track and learning some basic techniques, I think makes you a much better driver on the road especially in difficult driving conditions and in reacting to circumstances. Techniques like using your peripheral vision to sense where other cars are placed in relation to yourself, braking in a straight line, understanding how a car loads under braking, steering etc are great to use on the road.

Well what I really want to write about is how my race was at the weekend but yet again I wasn’t racing. I did however get to blast round a small track a couple of times in someone else’s car which is always good. Some good advice coming up – DON’T WRECK YOUR OWN CAR – BORROW SOMEONE ELSE’S!! (In a legal kinda way!) (Disclaimer to follow!!)

Stuff is progressing though. OK so I came to the conclusion after my few races in the UK Elf Renault Clio Cup Championship that maybe I couldn’t rely on my branding and marketing being 100% successful. Therefore I should take control of the situation and earn the money to race myself. Not an easy option as I have worked out I need to quadruple my income to achieve this. But where there’s a will………………and there most definitely is……….there is hopefully soon to be proved there maybe, just maybe a way. Does that sound a bit vague? Good – coz I have no idea how this plan will work but there is something in the pipeline. I will be adding a blog when its ready and hopefully you guys out there may help me out a little (and there will be something in it for everyone).

I’m still working flat out in design/architecture in London (having earlier this year been commissioned to re-design the ITSU sushi bar in Piccadilly), fitness training as I like to stay in shape, working on sponsorship, networking, writing blogs, and working on 2 areas to earn money to race……….not much time left in the day after that!

Will keep doing whatever it takes………….I promised myself that a number of years ago and will never give up on racing.

So eventually this blog has nothing to do with driving on a race track/road driving – is that what happens when you start compiling a blog? (It seems like there is a pattern emerging 🙂
