We have teamed up with the Spec MX-5 Challenge series for the 2019 season!

​The Spec MX-5 SimRacing Challenge brings together current pro drivers entered in the real-life Spec MX-5 Challenge with active sim-racers for a competitive and professional simulator racing series utilizing the iRacing Motorsports simulation platform.   The Challenge series is professionally broadcast to thousands of viewers around the world and includes prizes for top finishers with the championship winner receiving an opportunity  to drive a real Spec MX-5 at Circuit of the Americas.  In addition, Paradigm Shift Driver Development will be providing all series participants with free Track Notes for every track on the schedule as well as discounted coaching from Adam Brouillard.  You can check out the Spec MX-5 website for more info.  

The Science of Speed

Picture
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 regularly predict their own sector times to within a 20th of a second.

How our program works:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
