In January of 2022 I launched a new and enhanced blog here on Motorsport Prospects with the tagline “News Racers Can Use.” The intent is to bring to you a combination of curated news and advice from trusted authorities on the subject covered in that column allowing you to quickly get up to speed that week.
This week I highlight 20 posts from my Racecraft & Driver Development News, Tips & Techniques column that will give you a good idea of the kind of topics covered. As is evident from the title, this column looks at racecraft tips and advice from some of the most experienced drivers and coaches in the business as well as news and developments in driver development training programs and opportunities. I also highlight drivers in my Driver Spotlight series who can be inspiring in the stories they tell of how they have managed their motorsport careers.
