Must watch if your taking your car to the track. Taking my car out on a race track really made me love my car even more. Not only is it a daily driver, a family car it can run a track day with no problems FAST. Thanks to Adam Pike for helping with camera work More info from a fellow Subaru owner and a track day enthusiast. Great info but I'd recommend a few extra things.

Two piece vented rotors from performance friction, Join the nsw wrx club with Luke and learn some faster lines and learn slow in fast out of corners. You will drop seconds straight up. Don't do full 20 minute sessions on close to stock or semi racing pads they fall apart when over heated.

Racing brake fluid will reduce brake fade. Full racing pads will last better. At least do a couple of cool down laps in each session. Keep your number plates on and take you helmet off and go for a 2km drive down the road to cool every thing off a little before parking. Have fun. ;)

Prep your car for the track
less about track prepping and more like proper maintenance.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8mDGFHBWfk

Diff/trans/engine fluids always need to be changed, not just if you go to the track, just more so if you track your car. And brake fluid only really needs to be changed once every two years if you're using an OEM type brake fluid. The motul last about 1 year. This is because all brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it pulls moisture from the air and will lower the boiling point of the brake fluid as it accumulates more water.

How to become a racing driver We visit Nissan's NISMO Lab with karting ace Kiern Jewiss and Nissan GT Academy star Jann Mardenborough to learn the ropes What does it take to become a racing driver? Is it pure intuition? Is it a mixture of dedication, attitude and perception? Or does practice simply make perfect? To find out, we meet 14-year-old karting ace Kiern Jewiss at Nissan’s NISMO Lab test facility at Silverstone, Northants. Joining us is GT Academy star Jann Mardenborough, whose unconventional path to motor racing (from computer games) offers a different perspective to many of today’s top drivers.

How to heel and toe like Senna

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6yAO1ziQ8o

by Driver61

Driver 61's professional racer, Scott Mansell, explains what the heel and toe technique is all about and how to rev match in your road, track day or race car. For the full article and cheat sheet go to: http://bit.ly/D61HeelAndToe

Here's what we're going to cover: - What the heel and toe technique actually is - Why we would want to downshift this way - A step by step guide about how to heel and toe, including the order of your inputs and how to position your feet - The best way to practice heel and toe, so you’re well prepared before you try it on the circuit Heel and toeing is a technique whereby you match your car’s engine speed or revs to your car’s wheel speed to create a smooth downshift.

If you don’t match the engine’s rev to the wheel speed you risk locking up the driven axle and destabilising the car. You do this by using your right foot across both the brake and accelerator pedals; toe on the brake and heel (or the side of your foot) on the accelerator pedal. If you want to learn more about driving on track, please visit the Driver 61 website at http://bit.ly/d61University

Belal Khan


As Scott Suggested, the way i learned was to simply rev match on downshifts first without braking. Once you get comfortable doing that, then add the brake pedal. The hardest part for me when learning heel/toe was applying constant pressure on the brake pedal when blipping the throttle. I used to apply too much pressure on the brake pedal as i was pivoting my foot which caused the car to lurch.

Speed vs. consistency

Tuesday, 09 January 2018


https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...&v=250atItNOvI

Turning a single fast lap is one thing but the ability to keep putting in hot laps, one after another, is something else.
Consistency. It's one of the toughest things for a young driver to master, and it's also one of the keys to winning.
In our latest video, an elite group of IndyCar and Le Mans winners explain just what it takes to get your lap times in order. Take a look.

[h=2]Bertil Roos Racing School presents opportunities to learn proper techniques[/h] Bertil Roos Racing School



136 Shares

















Bertil Roos Racing School is the nation's leader when it comes to European-style road racing and students have plenty of opportunities over the next couple of months to learn this highly intricate form of racing.
The school has been training students for over four decades and it uses Formula cars to teach the arts of performance driving and racing. Bertil Roos Racing School President Dennis Macchio explained that every technique important to racing and driving are more effectively taught in an f-car.


"Visual training, what we refer to as ocular driving techniques are best taught in the cockpit of a car that has no A pillars, no windshield, no rearview mirror, and no forward blind spot," Macchio said. "Car control, line correction and important advanced skills are much easier to learn in nimble, lightweight, Formula cars."


The school will be available at different tracks over the next couple of months, starting with a three-day school on April 9-11 at Pocono Raceway, followed by a two-day advanced school on April 12-13.
Those interested can enroll in a five-day road racing school with no prior experience required. Upon completion, you will have fulfilled all the requirements of a SCCA competition license and are eligible to enter the Roos Formula 2000 Racing Series.
http://www.racer.com/images/2018/Apr...RRS_POC556.jpgThe three-day school is the cornerstone of the racing programs with intensive training on how to drive a race car to its limits.
Day one starts with a brief introduction in the classroom, followed immediately by a track session in one of BRRS' patented slide cars. More classroom, on-track practice with street cars and discussion leads to two on-track sessions.
Day two begins with another classroom session, followed by another session in the slide cars or street cars. Drivers get an abundant amount of seat time, perfecting skills required to advance to day three.


Day three is when the new skills are put to the test to squeeze every last tenth of a second out. A slide-car session is combined with five track sessions in the race cars. You learn techniques like Ocular Driving, Rotational Turn-In, Line Recovery, Slide Control and Heel and Toe which sets Bertil Roos Racing School apart from other schools.
The two-day advanced school is for those looking for more advanced instruction. The techniques learned at the Bertil Roos Racing School help drivers in all forms of racing.


Jarett Andretti, son of former NASCAR and IndyCar star John Andretti, provides an example. Carrying on the Andretti family tradition of versatility behind the wheel, Jarett is competing in both sprint cars and sports cars this season.
"The first road racing experience I had after go-karts was the 5-Day Bertil Roos Racing School in March 2011 at Virginia International Raceway," Andretti said. "After graduating from Roos, I went back to my normal racing schedule, USAC Midgets. We won the Eastern Pavement championship in 2011 and competed in the 50th anniversary of the 24 Hours of Daytona in January 2012. Now, that I'm competing in the Pirelli World Challenge in addition to my sprint car schedule, I will be leaning on my Roos experience now more than ever."


You don't have to be an Andretti to experience what it's like to be behind the wheel at a Bertil Roos Racing School. The following dates are available, including a visit to the historic Lime Rock Park.
• April 9-11 Pocono Raceway 3-day school
• April 12-13 Pocono Raceway 2-day advanced
• May 1-3 Lime Rock Raceway 3-day school
• May 2-3 Lime Rock Raceway 2-day advanced
• May 7-9 New Jersey Motorsports Park 3-day school
• May 10-11 New Jersey Motorsports Park 2-day advanced
• June 4-6 Dominion Raceway 3-day school
• June 11-12 Dominion Raceway 2-day advanced
• June 18-20 Palm Beach International Raceway 3-day school
• June 21-22 Palm Beach International Raceway 2-day advanced
