ANECDOTE

Sparring Session With An F3 Reference

  • Enzo described a full-day test at Anglesey where he matched his pupil against an F3 reference driver to spar and train specific weaknesses.
  • The day was run like sport-specific training with engineer support and focused drills rather than just piling up laps.
ADVICE

Design Test Days With Purpose

  • Do design test days with clear drills and objectives instead of just doing mileage.
  • Use teammates or sim sessions similarly if you can't afford hiring a separate reference car and driver.
ADVICE

Train Cold-Start Pace Like A Pro

  • Try drills that force you to get up to speed immediately, like a cold-outlap push with limited warm-up.
  • Practice that switch so you can deliver quick laps in qualifying or when track time is constrained.
