Slow Driver, Fast Car vs Fast Driver, Slow Car

Today we’re going to find out how fast WillNE, a NORMAL DRIVER, is against me, a PRO DRIVER…. AND how much faster I can make him through driver coaching alone….
To do that, we’ve set a challenge. Will is going to set a time in the 500 horsepower 911 GT3 - and THEN, I’m going to coach Will to see if he can be FASTER THAN THAT in a 150 horsepower Mazda MX-5.
Taking you along for the ride in HOW I COACH SOMEONE to be as FAST AS A PRO. But, the first order of the day was to see what Will can do in the MX-5 with ZERO coaching.

I think this video speaks better of Scott as an instructor than of Will as a student. Will did a fine job, but Scott's way of teaching is quite remarkable!

[@marcodebruin5370]

Yes, it does say a lot of Scott's teaching, but don't underestimate a student willing to learn and listening to the teacher, internalise the new skills. Will started out overly aggessive (which could have been a habit that is hard to let go off within a few laps)

[@AlexTamayo.]

[@americanAlienBoy]

Coming from someone who's been a club instructor for 15 years, it's validating to see a pro instructor start with the same fundamentals: Vision, weight transfer, and smoothing of inputs. Regarding the first, at our schools we mark the turn-in, apex, and track-out of each corner with orange cones. I try to get my students to focus on the track-out cone as soon as possible. And once it's obvious they're going to get tot that cone, be looking down the track for the next turn-in. Another trick I've seen used (but I haven't done this) is to put a piece of tape on the windshield about 1/3 up from the bottom, and tell the student their eyes should always be pointing to a spot above it.

[@Driver61]

Nice!

[@ghomerhust]

thats what i was always taught as well, smooth is fast. look around the corner, plan the exit, and your times will drop quickly.

[@Doug_Narby]

I tell my students (based on the math) that inside a certain distance in front of the car, they’re actually “looking into the past” because actions they’ve already taken will determine what the car does in that distance

[@eyemastervideo]

I've done lots of autocross and track days and I still don't look far enough ahead. It is a really important skill! You are right to put attention to it.

[@peterbrorsson5714]

Agree so full of nice athmosfere and occational one liners like when Scott says 'Did that feel well?' when HE just had the roller coaster ride of his life (or at least week).

[@LJ-wo1wf]

[@EdwoodCA]

Yep. I was taught by an instructor that while he held a half filled 500ml bottle of water on it's side/horizontal, for me to drive as smoothly/quickly as possible, so as to try to keep the water as level as possible and not all going to either end of the bottle.

Wills last lap in the Mazda looked amazing, what a difference! Incredible coaching, I would love to have this opportunity, I've done quite a few track days in the past and even had a little bit of coaching, but nothing like this.

[@Taima]

I've never done anything of the sort but I'm wishing I had when I actually had a bloody sports car for ~6 years (03 350Z). Kinda a mix of a little fear and uncertainty kept me from ever seriously considering doing something like that. I inherited my dad's 2012 Merc E350 which at least 0-60 wise is apparently about on par with my Z but doesn't have the brutal suspension, so that's always something I could try to have fun with but I definitely wouldn't want to go into something like that without some kind of instruction otherwise I'll either be driving way too cautiously or fuck up bad somehow.

[@renebartkowiak7122]

Driving skills are the one thing but knowing the track is the other which makes you faster.

[@QuantumS1ngularity]

The thing about trail braking is that it's one of those addictive feelings. Once you learn to do it right, it just feels sooo good, that you want to experience it constantly. Especially in a manual car. Yeah, doing fast laps is great and all, but that feeling of full control over the car and the feedback, especially from something mid-engined like an MR2... absolute bliss.

[@Gl-my8fw]

Wow. No way he had no experience of driving fast was what I thought. The way he catches the drifts? Absolutely superb.

[@Ylyrra]

Seeing the difference in how settled the Mazda was around the corners before and after training was probably a better visual illustration of weight transfer than most of your more technical videos on the subject. Great work. Started out bobbling around all over the place, and after the training he just soared through the corners like a bird.

[@johnmoore3504]

Smooth is fast. As a part time instructor you can tell he was getting better just watching his hands. One smooth motion out, in (apex), power down, track out. Your steering angle should be mirror your pedal application. More steering angle = less pedal, brake or gas.

[@demon1954]

This was a mixture of brilliant coaching and brilliant driving. Great to watch. Scott was really enjoying seeing Will's improvements, just as I do when coaching on track in my MX5. One difference with me is that I prefer my drivers to start at 80% of what they think they can do and build from there, with the same learning topics in the same order. But then I do my coaching at track days where drivers are also learning to be in traffic on track and where they don't always have such big and flat run-offs. Smooth is fast.

You’re having to teach him how to look far ahead as possible and at corner targets. My dad taught me this stuff when I was like 5 years old. Videos like this are a good reminder to everyone that majority of people are just really bad drivers and lack the understanding of how different vehicles stop accelerate etc. Learning to proficiently operate many different platforms, sizes everything from a three wheelers and 200hp liter bikes to muscle cars and 90k lb semi trucks in the snow and everything in between has been a real blessing for sure.

Couldn’t agree more with looking where you go! VR has really helped me personally by giving me that depth perception. I can really “look through the corner” like I couldn’t with a single monitor. Great video guys! I knew Scott would be faster in the Miata in his first go!

[@bakedandsteaked]

I definitely feel like VR is undervalued by most sim racers.

[@surfer101ist]

@@bakedandsteakedthe horizontal fov is usually worse than triples, and some people get motion sickness. But yeah, couldn't agree more!

[@bakedandsteaked]

@@surfer101ist I've never tried triple monitors but I can see how some would prefer that peripheral vision over VR. You can move your head in VR, but that's not very useful when you're trying to keep your eyes on track and you're not sure where a car is next to you because you don't have the FOV. I think the reason I like VR so much is that it's 3D and you have real depth perception. Of course you can guess with fairly good accuracy how far a car or brake marker is on a 2D screen, but adding a 2nd point of reference (1 in each eye) really helps me make sense of where things are on track. Ultimately, I would say that the best display setup is dependent on what type of driving you do and how you want to use your vision.

Years ago, I used to autocross. Once I learned to control weight shift, and suspension loading, it was a game changer. I picked up 2 seconds on courses with 45 second lap times.

[@tommissouri4871]

I used to run a hillclimb and this was very important as the last bit of the course at the top, the pitch of the road changed, so the car would get light. Many thought they hit oil or whatever, panic, and then the car would spin. Instead, you had to learn to ride through the weight shift and keep control of you as much as the car.

Vision was THE SINGLE biggest thing that impacted my driving for the better. I was racing in a monthly arrive-and-drive karting series of about 90 drivers, and I was consistently finding myself in the back of the B-main / front of the C-main (so around P50 to P70 of 90). I did some coaching sessions with a great coach who drilled into me how critical proper vision is. After a few sessions with him I came back to the next month's round and found myself running mid A-main (P10-15 of 90) and sniffing at podiums! Vision slows everything down and gives your mind time to process - it also opens up the rest of your periphery to do useful things like navigate traffic and find gaps in the pack. Great stuff!

[@bgrigg07]

I would rather drive a slow car fast, than a fast car slow! Also Miata MX-5 are much cheaper than a 911. Scott is a very good coach.

Any biker will know looking where you want to go makes a huge impact because we basically steer where we look, so bikers are told to NOT look at the thing you want to avoid.

[@tommissouri4871]

I had a student at Nelson Ledges years ago. The guy wanted to race, but was frankly scared to death. I couldn't get him to go faster than about the speed of a pace lap. Chief Steward even let me take him out in my van at speed to show him how it should be done. The scary part we lapped faster in my van than he was in his 510. That still didn't convince him he could go faster and be safe. At the end of the weekend, he was signed for the first school but with notations that he must show marked improvement in a second school. I encouraged him to go autocross all that spring and summer and do a second school in the fall. I figured the autocrosses would let him get comfortable driving the car as full out as he could before getting back on a track with real speed. I don't know what happened to him.

It's a shame that track days are too expensive for me now, as I'd love to get back on track and put some of this learning into practice.

What a great video. As an instructor myself, this video encapsulates the process of every new student driver. Technique before horsepower, the last second is mega difficult compared to the previous 5+ seconds. I always ask my students, "Do you want to be fast because you bought a fast car, or because YOU are a fast driver?" Then I say, if you want the best modification to your car being YOU driving, then focus, learn, and use the techniques. This process will work with almost everyone for that initial big improvement. That last second improvement, well, that's another story and another video, IMO. Again, great video, thanks!

This was an excellent idea for a video! And it was well filmed and edited all around. There is a good balance between showing the fun and thrill of driving, and discussion about racing and coaching. It highlights the coaching more than the personalities, but the personalities is what makes the video work so well. It would be exiting to see you coach someone who isn’t initially at all comfortable going close to the limit on a race track, and ease them into it. Doing it over multiple track days might work better. For a nervous student part of the learning is emotional, not just technical, and they still need to be in front of a camera. What I would personally like to see included is slower recaps of full laps, with commentary by you or the student. This would help audience get a better feel of the track as a whole.

As it was only 850cc, it was S-L-O-W. I did a couple of laps and found I could drive them flat out with no braking. Anyway, we timed my laps. Then he started teaching and by the end I was twelve seconds quicker. And that was just down to correct lines that don't scrub off speed.

Top notch, that was the most entertaining video I've seen in a long time! What a great student he is(good teacher also). Thank you so much for making this.

Wish I could have a go at this, I’ve never done a track day or driven fast in a decent car, I’m now 47 so mid life crisis is getting nearer 😂

[@raulvargas352]

I loved this. I hope you do more of taking new drivers and teaching them and then seeing how they improve on time

[@kyranthez927]

That was very impressive, you need to do more stuff with him

Had the opportunity to drive a C8 Corvette at a track day with work, I also occasionally track my mostly stock Lancer. The sheer difference between a car built for the road and a car built with tracks in mind is huge, he did very well going from the Mazda to the Porsche.

This was so enjoyable. Educational, entertaining, and we got to watch a box man learn new skills 🙌🏻

This really shows how technique transfers between cars very well. Once you understand the fundamentals you can apply them everywhere!
