§ 02 About

About David.

My background is in motocross and karting. Today, I work across GT and endurance racing as a professional driver, coach and race engineer.

My work outside the driver's seat is closely connected to what I do in it. I've been on both sides of the data, giving feedback from the car and helping make sense of it from the pit wall. Coaching, engineering and building software give me more ways to understand the whole program, and more places to become a better driver.

Quantify EVERYTHING.
Feel something. Measure it. Change it. Verify it.

That process carries through a corner, a setup change, a simulator session or an endurance stint. A fast lap matters. Understanding why it was fast, and whether I can reproduce it, matters more.

My ambition is to win in class at the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona. That is why I race.
