Overview

In this months call Ricky Taylor discusses how to quickly come up to speed on any race track and how to improve your race starts.

On race starts it's important to know that sometimes you're just boxed in with no where to go. Accepting that and not trying to do too much is critical.

Important things to know with your race starts:

1) When you are not on pole being close but with a small gap (that you are slowly closing) allows you to be more consistent. You don't want to be too close and be caught out at the pole sitter accelerates and brakes while trying to catch out the field and get a jump/

2) If there is an acceleration zone that the series tells the pole sitter you want to know about that. It helps you time your own acceleration.

3) Know who you're racing with (when you can). People are typically very predicatable.

About the coach

Ricky Taylor

IMSA DPi Champion

Car Racing

My name is Ricky Taylor. I grew up in a racing family with my Dad and my brother who are very much involved together in the sport. I have been professionally involved in Sportscar racing since 2012, but started my career in karts in 2002. I have a passion racing and studying what makes people fast. The racecar doesn't do anything without a driver's inputs, so studying driving styles to work with the particular racecar is something I have always found interesting.
