5 Tips to Start Car Endurance Racing
Endurance car racing being an incredible sport is very difficult and expensive too. But if someone performs well, it is rewarding and worth it. But to prepare beforehand is advised to perform well.
- Know it before you start it
When you start anything, it is considered best to acquire knowledge about it beforehand. So, the first and foremost thing to do is watch the endurance races as many as you can. By doing so you will have a good idea of what to expect when you will begin.
There is plenty of endurance racing series to watch and pick up on how they operate. Attending local races is also a good option as it makes you familiar with how things work in local racing series. Watching YouTube footage is also a great way to see how drivers manage their pace and tyres. At the end of the race how fatigue affects drivers you can watch and learn, that is a vital component.
Attending racing events lets you take notes and you can also have a word with some drivers and seek guidance. If attending racing is possible for you, there are other options as well like Instagram and LinkedIn.
- Begin at a small level
Always start small. It will ease you in endurance racing by taking out the burden on your budget. Try to join a team who is participating for fun and gives you less pressure to perform well. But in case you getting there with your team, have a limited budget.
- Be Fit
An immensely fit body, physically and mentally, is required in Endurance racing because just 15v minutes of fast driving is very tiring. To prepare start with working out in the gym and the right diet that will help you get in the right shape. In addition, drive as much before the beginning of the season. This is the reason Formula 1 drivers keep on driving on the track in the off-season.
Being fit is crucial in motorsports as it helps you to reduce mistakes and fatigue in racing.
- Practice is the key
Practice as much as you can as it will let you be more comfortable on the track with your car which is a key to having a good race. If you are not comfortable with your car, it will be difficult for you to drive for such a long time on race day.
Before the race, you should learn the track so that you can be comfortable while driving in dark and stick to the braking points automatically. Pay attention to little details like bumps and slippery surfaces around the track that are hazardous for the car balance. Getting Familiar with the track lets you avoid these danger zones.
- Communicate effectively
The most important thing in endurance racing is communicating well with your team. Here right equipment, like a team radio system, is essential to communicate messages to different drivers on track at different times. A team radio system allows you to have effective communication with your driver on track and the rest of the team, but for beginners, it might be out of the budget. There are many hurdles while driving like fuel can run low, drivers get tired, tyres wear out, and here an effective channel of communication is necessary.
Final Thoughts
Although Endurance racing is extremely difficult it can be enjoyable too. Being fit, continuously learning from mistakes and keeping the morale of the team up makes a difference.
