While I feel that a driver should start with a solid education in the physics of racing as it can often lead to immediate improvements, proper training is where true, world-class skill develops. The kind of raw driving skill and talent needed to fly in to test with a pro team, climb into an unfamiliar car, and quickly start laying down competitive laps with seemingly little effort. This is because education can teach you to understand why a talented driver’s laps are fast, but knowledge alone won’t allow you to peer inside that driver's mind to see what it actually "feels" like to be able to produce those incredible laps.
That "feeling" cannot be taught directly, and while a lucky few seem to possess it naturally, for most it has to be gained through proper training. After finishing up the Science of Speed books, most of my time has been spent helping drivers train this ability. I like to call it “Learning what fast feels like.” The results of this is that I now have a complete curriculum of exercises and lessons designed to take a driver as far as they have the willingness to push themselves.
