Essential Track Training: How to Be A Racing Driver, Episode 6 - Carfection

I did a few laps at Brands years ago, and to me Paddock seemed off-camber, so I was was always afraid of leaving the racing surface.

I wish I could do it over again, with George in the other seat . . .

How to be a racer: Have money

Only just seen this!! Awesome coverage of the year and great driving from Mike. Great Watch.

Wtf.. why are they driving without an HANS device?!? Dangerous. 🙁👎

These videos are too short!

This is outside Xbo... oh wait wrong channel.

The hardest thing about being a racing driver is getting the drives in an oversubscribed market

Would like to see more forward facing camera footage, love watching where they are driving on the track

"If you're in your comfort zone, you're going slowly." What a wanker.

That episode was absolutely amazing, thanks for sharing!

Want to follow a new amateur G55 driver in the Gt4 super Cup on touring car weekends? 😂 been racing the G40’s for a couple years and stepping into the bigger car is always interesting!!

I recently took a two day class at Ron Fellows Racing School and can really appreciate the skill involved to go around a track fast. I drive a Corvette Grand Sport.

Great video, love Brands Hatch

Great video and a great series. Loved the way the instructor reacted when he spun - so reassuring!

Great episode. Thank you.

Great film. Pls more. Thx!

The most important part of being a racing driver is to have money to throw at it. There's no such thing as cheap racing.

Got to say this series are some of the best videos Carfection have made. A joy to watch and quite instructive too.

ty! what a way to finish out the year in carfection videos. 👍 love racing the ginetta in project cars 2, and this championship series is definitely on my bucket list.

The grip generated by current slick tires is amazing and it takes a while to really lean into the tires and trust them fully. If the car also generates any kind of downforce, it gets even more complicated: the faster you go the better grip you get so in the end you lose a lot of time if you don't push the car. But, push it too much and you start overheating the tires, start sliding all over the place and again, you are back to losing time.

It is not easy. Oh, and a lot of people think driving like a racing driver means abusing the car: sudden acceleration and braking, hacking at the wheel steering, etc. The very same people that will recognise a slide only when the backend of the car starts overtaking them.

It's interesting to watch a driver who has to be coached to come up to the limit. I've always had to come at it the other way...I want to push too hard, but I go faster when I slow down and calm down 9 times out of 10.

its like those stupid free to air TV shows with the"find out next episode" at the end. like whyyyyy I want to know now!!!

Best series of car films from 2018. Great stuff carfection team! Brilliant to watch Mike come on step by step. More please in 2019!

Jorge Dude !

This was awesome. Good luck to Mike

Building confidence on track is key. It's putting theory into practice. It can also be very nerve wracking! Hang in there and push yourself a little more each lap until you find those limits!

Great series. Subscribing so I don't miss the next episode

Is that Mike from Outside Extra ?

This has been a great series. Reality check for all of us who think this is easy. I think with time, training and the right attitude, anyone could improve. As some say the best after market mod is driver training.

I wish that race instructor would ride along with me everywhere I go! Easily shave off some time on my morning commute!

Wouldn't a session like this be a lot more useful at the beginning of the season? Great video anyway. Love the series

Best zero to hero series on the web.

Well done Mike, this is a great series

I am racing driver😎

The Driving Course with PS4's Grand Turismo Sport is actually an excellent resource, especially if you have an physical drivers cockpit connected.

The sim dont help?
Nice car instead

Imma be back in The Netherlands next year after having spent 10+ years abroad.
Deciding to move close to the beach in Zandvoort, the Dutch track that used to host the Formula 1.
Would love to race a couple of weekends a year there!

Yeah, good man, keep pushing it.


This is the type of video Archie Hamilton should be doing...

I love this series, so impressed by Mike’s improvements through the year, really got me itching to go racing again

I've been racing with Mike this year in the GRDC and been able to achieve 7 podiums out of 8 races and was able to get on the podium also when jumping up to the g40 Cup at Donington which i'm racing in next season. if you're looking to continue this series next year with another driver i'd love to get involved.

love this series

🤔...some useful knowledge
