Ed has been driver coaching since 2002 and has a varied and extensive database of knowledge and experience. He works on a regular basis as a race instructor at Silverstone and the Porsche Driving Experience Centre which provides him with the skills and techniques to improve and refine your driving, including:
Young Driver Training
From 14 years old you can drive on the race track and Ed has been working with Junior drivers from 2006 who have moved up through the ranks and enjoying a strong career.
Data Analysis
Using the data logging to pin point the crucial elements of the driving that can be enhanced, using the throttle trace, speed graph, revs and brake pressures, Ed can see how you drive and by over lapping a datum lap set by Ed, you will be able to target certain areas.
Understanding and implementing these techniques so the driver is focused and relaxed is the next step to a drivers development to achieve consistent results.
Performance Race Driver Training
Where you need to improve those last few tenths, Ed will sit next to you to identify the areas that you can work on. There are two parts to the coaching, the physical aspect of driving, then the ability to apply your knowledge to focus your mind to achieve race wins and championships.
Following on, there are also other areas to concentrate on:
Qualifying / Race Strategy
Overtaking / Defending
Visualisation Techniques
