In almost all cases, advanced race coaching focusses on two areas - the line chosen round a corner, and the technique required to allow the car to take that line as smoothly and quickly as possible. These aspects are very closely related. It is of no help to know the best line round a corner if the wrong driving technique is then used.

Attention is also paid to correct braking technique, which can greatly improve lap times and is also very useful for out-psyching the opposition!

In most cases John recommends the use of standard road cars for his tuition. This comes as a surprise to many people, but the low noise levels make communication easy between coach and client, while the relatively low speeds and obvious suspension changes allow an ideal demonstration of how much benefit is being gained. Even Formula 1 drivers have found improvements in their lap times after just a short session in an ordinary saloon car.
