Today we are hitting your confidence.The question that inspired this episode started off about race craft but it quickly steered towards the core issue - confidence.The question from Rick was:“My race craft has never been strong. How can I improve this apart from just racing more?Sometimes people say the way you race is a reflection of your inner self, if I am not a very confident person could you say that that could be holding me back?”.Thank you so much Rick for 2 reasons, firstly for being prepared to sort out this problem and secondly for willing to look deeper into the issue and asking questions that help you find the true reason.In this video I want to give you a crash course into the world of human emotions and confidence. This is an area that most drivers struggle with and an area that is quite easy to fix. Yes I said easy, even though people fight with this challenge all their lives it is actually quite easy to improve.Let me explain some tips and give you some advice in this video, from here you will start to brainstorm your own clever ways of building self confidence and getting the kind of mindset that will allow you to perform at your best.EnjoyEnzoTo keep updated you can subscribe to this channel, thank you in advance.Our website - http://www.theracedrivercoach.com/Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/theracedrive...Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/coachenzomu...Twitter - https://twitter.com/enzomucci?lang=en

All too often race drivers get caught up in the game of proving themselves by beating their team mate. They are happy if they manage it and depressed if they don't. It becomes their yard stick that let's them know whether they are worthy or not, or whether they have done a good job on a particular race weekend.I am here to remind you of what is important for your racing and how focusing on your team mate is a self defeating objective and will cause you to under-perform and become stressed.This episode was inspired by this question from Lewis:“Hi Enzo, already for next season I have told that I must beat my team mate in order to continue racing.I’m turning to you for some advice on how best to go about this.I’m sure you have come up against this before”Thank you Lewis.The best way to beat your team mate is to beat yourself, to put all the emphasis on you and to only be concerned with your own performance. Do not allow anyone or anything distract you from what is important.You must only focus on things that are within your control and your team mate isn't one of those things.I will explain more in this video.This is an important topic that so many drivers let themselves down with. Bringing others down will never help you become a champion.RegardsEnzo

The great debate between sim racing and real racing continues, here is my take on things.This was inspired by Josh's question:“Enzo, a few questions for you about simulators. 1- If you are good on a sim, does it mean you are good in real life? 2 - Can it help my real driving? 3 - Is it really worth me being good on a sim?”To answer quickly and in order of the questions then No, Yes, Yes.Let me explain in this video and hopefully give you some tips along the way.Simulator driving can be very valuable in more ways than one. I would have answered this question very differently 10 years ago but now with F1 and other categories getting involved in eSports, and with scholarships being held (McLaren simulator prize), things are different now.This is a new era and if you want to go racing and have no budget then no longer is sim driving a far fetched avenue to pursue.Plus there are many ways in which you can use racing simulators to improve your real world race craft and driving. Plus plus, more importantly to me simulators are a great way to improve your mental skills and performance.I hope you enjoy this video and look forward to hearing from you and any other questions you may have.All the bestEnzo

This episode focuses on the immediate future of Motorsport and how to survive in the new era that we are entering.Episode 25 was inspired by recent conversations that I have been having within the industry and by Alex's question referring to racing with Electric / Hybrid motors and whether they mark the end of Motorsport.Well this video is here to answer this from my perspective, what I believe and forecast.Is it the death of Motorsport?What does it mean to the drivers trying to find sponsorship?Has Motorsport finally been dealt a hit that will bring it to its knees?That is what I want to hit here.Let us here your thoughts and worries around this topic.Enjoy this episode.

This episode was inspired by Johns question, which was:"Some people can go out on Friday Morning, Lap 1 and bang it in straight away. I have to warm up to the task throughout the day.Are there any methods I can use to get to my peak performance quicker, find the grip faster and have faith that it will hold?The real question is, how do I know how hard to push when the conditions change during a race".Yet another great question from a TRDC Show viewer and one that a lot of drivers struggle with.When addressing such a topic it can often come down to their mental processing and personal limitations, this means that we have to go deeper than just general advice but I still want to give the best answers possible for this challenge so it touches upon all the different aspects involved so you can all learn something from this.Enjoy this and let me know if you require more 1 to 1 help on this subject.LET ME KNOW if you have any questions that you would like me to answer on the show.Our website - http://www.theracedrivercoach.com/Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/theracedrive...Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/coachenzomu...Twitter - https://twitter.com/enzomucci?lang=en

The Ugly Truth About Motorsport - TRDC SHOW Ep #23. Enzo Mucci This episode of The Race Driver Coach Show answers or at least contributes to 90% of the questions we get asked.It is all about one ugly truth that so many people ignore or trap that they fall for - When a driver gets carried away with the passion aspect. They fall in love with the Hollywood story line of becoming a world champion or professional race driver, this is OK in small doses but all too often you can tip the scale too much towards passion and become deluded, distracted or down right miserable.Passion is needed but it is also responsible for so many drivers losing their love for the sport and losing all hope.This video is here to remind you of this trap and to help you get back on track, in more ways than one.Covered here is advice for:New driversDrivers on the way upWorld Championship driversAnyone who is striving to achieve their dream.

This episode was inspired by this question from Fiz - "I know my weakness, I become too influenced by the timesheet. My driving and mentality is harmed when I am off the pace. Any tips?"This is a very very common challenge that racers drivers, riders and pilots face, it is how to remain at their best even though their lap time is noncompetitive or they are off the pace of the other drivers.All too often racers can be distracted by their laptime or results, but if you are to get the most out of yourself then you cannot let this happen.Here I will give you a reminder for how to prevent this, it's all about you keeping things simple and focusing on what is in your control every single time out.Become solution based instead of allowing outside influences bully you around.Enzo
