Next episode will be on the move I’m afraid, most likely a hotel room whilst in Abu Dhabi. But I will do the ‘cheap championships’ video once I’m back in the UK.
As always, I absolutely love the videos! I recommend your channel to most of the kids and parents I coach that are wanting a career in motorsports. Quick question for you, next season, I have been racing for a karting team and have been pretty successful and the owner is wanting and helping me move up into a faster class. He thinks I can dominate in this class and thinks that if I do, I could potentially do a few national events with a karting brand's factory team. My question is how do I spend this offseason to best set myself up to succeed next season? I am currently getting into a workout routine earlier than I have in previous years, improving my eating habits, and trying to find sponsors.
Hi mate. We’ll keep all the training, eating and sponsorship work going, it always helps, but really the first thing will be to completely tear last season apart, dissect it and do an autopsy to find out exactly what your strengths and weaknesses were/are. Then build a development plan around this to improve the weaknesses and polish the rest. It’s all about results so double down on the driving side of it to ensure that you are fast. I’d prefer you to be fast yet unfit, than the other way round. Ask your team to be honest with you and give things to your straight, so you can improve the driving over winter.
@@EnzoMucci Will do! I am currently on a co-op right now which has me in the middle of nowhere away from racing, but I do have some indoor endurance racing planned in December, January, and February. I will definitely go through and dissect my races myself and ask others about how I can improve too. Unfortunately, with most tracks closed for the winter, I have to wait until testing in the spring, but I have a lot planned for testing before the season. Thank you for the response and for the content!!!
Training on the sim will help with certain skills, but you will only get career opportunities from it if you get VERY good and get known in the industry for your sim results. I’m sure there will be more Sim to Real scholarships in the future.
This is great information. I really started watching sports cars during the pandemic and have been wondering about this. A couple of questions. There have been some teenagers such as Josh Pierson showing up in LMP2 the last couple of years. I suspected they are paying for their drives. True? Also, there are a couple of fast rising young French female drivers, Dorian Pin and Lilou Wadoux. I don't think they are yet "factory drivers". Are they likely to be bringing money and/or sponsors to their teams? Is it possible that Deborah Meyer, through her Iron Dames program, is financially supporting Dorian and the other Iron Dames drivers?
Hi William. Due to me not working with these drivers, and out of respect, I don’t feel comfortable discussing their financial details but normally if you go straight into LMP2 with no real history, then you normally need to pay. Either that or someone else has to pay for you.
Thanks for the info mate! Highly looking forward to the next episode.

@@EnzoMucci Sounds great!

Can training on a sim help me get into teams like redbull, fualken or manufacturers?
