The Science of Speed

The Racing Line - Four Elements of a Perfect Corner with Adam Brouillard
Welcome to the next generation of racing driver education.  Our teaching philosophy is based on the principle that for a given vehicle, setup, and conditions, there exists a singular optimum solution to navigating a racetrack in the minimum time possible. ​​
​While a driver will never be able to achieve that truly perfect lap in reality, there is one place it can exist. A perfect lap can exist in the mind and provide a goal a driver can always strive to reach.

That is what we teach in our program.  A physics-based approach to finding the ideal racing line that has then been distilled into a basic set of rules that provide an optimal, but intuitive way of driving a racecar.​
​
​These basic rules are all designed to be used from the driver's seat, using car control cues alone.  The ultimate goal being for a driver to learn to spot every mistake and know when they've extracted everything possible from any car, live on track.  With knowledge and proper training, drivers following these physics-based principles have not only developed world-class pace, but also the ability to predict their own sector times to within a small fraction of a second.


HOW OUR PROGRAM WORKS:
  • ​We recommend you start with the Science of Speed Series books, which are designed to be a step-by-step guide providing all the mental tools a driver will need throughout their racing career.   These books are meant to be read in order and can be purchased through our bookstore or popular retailers such as Amazon.
  • We also offer Track Notes, which are full break-downs of race tracks using the principles taught in the Science of Speed books.  Track Notes feature extra thick lamination for trackside durability and the reverse includes bonus Corner Close-ups with extra in-depth analysis of the most difficult and complex sections.  PDF digital download versions are also available.
  • ​For more personalized, in-depth training, lead author and racing coach Adam Brouillard is also available for on-site and remote coaching, as well as classroom-format group instruction.  A self-guided training program is also available.  Click here for more coaching and training info.​
