Coaching

Lineup coaching

Two drivers share one car. I coach both. The goal is one setup priority list, one stint plan and one driver-change routine that both drivers trust.

Why coach the whole lineup?

A shared car only goes as fast as its two drivers can work together. Each driver needs a cockpit that suits them. They need to agree what the car should do and give each other feedback the next driver can use. Coaching them one at a time leaves those gaps open.

What do I do before the weekend?

I coach each driver on their own goals in the simulator. Then I bring the two together to plan the stints, the order and the driver changes. We rehearse the changes before the race.

What do I do at the track?

I work with both drivers and the engineers. We use telemetry, onboard video and session notes from each driver’s runs. We agree what the car needs from both of them. Each driver gets their own notes.

What happens after?

We debrief as a lineup. We look at the stints, the changes and the feedback each driver passed on. Then we agree what to carry into the next event.

Can I drive with you?

Where the class rules allow it, I can share the car. GT4 America Am and the Pilot Challenge GS Bronze Cup are for Bronze drivers, and I am Bronze. See co-driving.

What is the next step?

Use the form below. Tell me your series, your car and the two drivers’ experience. I reply with a quote. Each season is a separate agreement. No seat, result, license or rating is promised.

Quantify EVERYTHING.

Feel something. Measure it. Change it. Verify it.

Coaching connects preparation in the simulator with the work at the track. Start with the driver's experience, the car and the next event. Use the sim to learn references and rehearse a plan before the weekend.

At the track, combine driver feedback with telemetry, onboard video and session notes. Identify a specific change, try it in the next run, and review whether the result is repeatable. A fast lap is useful. Knowing how to reproduce it is the goal.

My work includes run planning, setup feedback, strategy and post-session analysis. My Machine Nerve tools support telemetry, live timing, simulator data and biometrics. The tools inform the conversation. They do not replace the driver's feedback.

Coached-driver wins.

Drivers I coached have won at VIR, Apex Motor Club, Laguna Seca, Sonoma Raceway, Road America, Road Atlanta, Thunderhill, Daytona and Mid-Ohio.

These are results earned by the drivers. They are separate from my own race wins.
