1. Are there fundamentals in racing?

A quick google search for “fundamentals” of pretty much any sport will give you thousands of results. But, if you search the same thing for racing barely anything comes up… and the articles that do clearly don’t know what a “fundamental” actually is.

Why is that?

Our team of coaches found that very strange. When we started talking internally we realized that many of us didn’t even know what the fundamentals of our sport should be. It’s just not something that is really spoken about.

With perfect timing (as always) Blayze coach, Ken Hill, entered the room and dropped some knowledge on us. For years he has been developing an in-depth curriculum focused on specifically identifying the fundamentals of our sport. It was good.. like REALLY good

One of the critical elements he has learned through coaching literally thousands of racers is that identifying fundamentals actually isn’t good enough. The order of those fundamentals and how we teach them is a critical part of the process.

So, what are the fundamentals of racing? They are (in order):1. Vehicle placement2. Vision/Focus3. Motor controls4. Brake adjustability5. Turn in-rate & points6. Body position
So much of improving in our sport is constantly refining one of these specific areas. Even when you look at pro drivers they are mostly continuing to refine their fundamentals. (Much like Steph Curry continues to refine his shooting fundamentals)

A critical part of a coach’s job is to help you identify which specific fundamentals you need to work on next. This helps give you a specific plan and limits the “noise” behind the wheel – this all means it makes it easier for you to go faster today.

Our team at Blayze and Ken Hill are working hard on a new course that will introduce these fundamentals. We’ll go in-depth on what these are, why they matter, and why they are in this specific order. If you’re interested in getting a sneak preview of this course please reply to this email and let us know!

I really can’t wait for you all to see this course… I know it’s going to help a lot of drivers drop serious lap time.

So… this article leads me to one question. Do you know what 1 or 2 specific things you need to improve or work on to go faster? Do you have a plan for how you’re going to make the necessary changes?
