How to Maximise Your Time on Track During Testing
At Storm Motorsport, we see each day of testing as an investment in your development, and we’re here to help you maximise your time on track. In this blog, we’ll cover key strategies for getting the most out of your testing sessions, from setting clear goals to gathering actionable feedback and gradually improving your lap times.
1. Set Clear, Achievable Goals
Every successful test day starts with well-defined goals. Before you hit the track, spend some time reflecting on what you want to achieve. These goals could be technical (improving your braking points or throttle control) or strategic (refining your approach to qualifying). By setting a clear objective for each session, you’ll have a focused mindset and a roadmap for the day.
2. Focus on Consistency, Not Just Speed
While lap times are always important, consistency should be your main priority during testing. A consistent lap time will give you valuable insights into your driving technique and how well you’re adjusting to the car’s handling.
3. Use Feedback from Our Engineers and Coaches
Gathering and utilising feedback is one of the most valuable aspects of testing. Our engineers and coaches working with you have a wealth of knowledge that can help you understand the nuances of the car and the track. Their feedback can provide valuable insights into how the car is behaving and how you can improve your driving.
4. Take Notes and Review Data
While you’re on track, it’s easy to get caught up in the moment, but reviewing data after each session will allow us to identify patterns and pinpoint your areas of improvement in order to adjust your approach for the next session.
Maximising your time on track during testing is all about being purposeful, focused, and continuously seeking improvement. By setting clear goals, striving for consistency, using feedback effectively, and making gradual improvements, you’ll get the most ot the day.
