There are many areas where drivers need to focus to improve performance. These are all addressed within my coaching sessions and include the following:
Mental Approach
2021 Season Taking Shape Despite Covid Restrictions
2021 is shaping up to be another busy year, especially on the racing front: 2 of our drivers,Will Alterman and Ian Ellis, joined the ranks of the Radical SR1 Cup in 2020. Despite not starting the season until July, both drivers made great strides in this very competitive series. Will’s season was restricted in outings but Ian manged to take part in all the rounds available and finished an excellent 2nd overall in the Fangio Trophy; a superb effort in his debut season. Both drivers are itching to get out again in 2021. Hopefully, we will have some pre-season testing before the Championship gets underway as follows:
3rd April Oulton Park
24th April Snetterton 300
8th May Brands Hatch (GP Circuit)
14th/15th August Silverstone GP
18th September Donington Park
TFL Racing will, again, be assisting with the logistics of running these 2 cars. Operating out of their premises based close to Stratford, TFL will be preparing the cars to their usual high standard, transporting the cars to the circuits and providing invaluable support at trackside. Phil and his team did an excellent job last year alongside Sarah who’s driver coaching skills were also put to good use.
Syd Fraser has a packed season lined up for his Historic Lotus 22 Formula Junior Car. Limited to 2 competitive outings in 2020, Syd has lined up a varied programme including visiting Snetterton and Cadwell Park for the first time. In addition to this, there will be outings in his Chevron B16 Historic Sports Car which is being made race ready for this season, with the possibility of some outings in the HSCC’s Thundersports Series. Not to be content with that, Syd has also recently purchased a Historic Formula 2 car (a March 712). The plan is to have as many testing outings in this new car prior to a race debut in 2022.
Scott Rawlinson, having had a 2 year layoff, is taking part in this years Historic Formula Ford Championship in his recently purchased Merlyn MK11a. Scott managed a couple of testing appearances last year and is planning an all out assault on this years series. The FF1600’s are sometimes on the same events as the Formula Juniors so, a few busy weekends for us lie ahead!
Dave Billington has already lined up his traditional outing at the Walter Hayes meeting, which will be the 5th time he has entered this prestigious event. Coupled with this, Dave may also enter a few Heritage FF1600 rounds. This series caters for cars built prior to 1993 and, so, is ideally suited to Dave’s Van Diemen.
