In terms of how to drive faster, grip is important. As we all know, the grip level of tracks changes all the time. Sometimes it gets better after more and more rubber is laid down over the race weekend. But the grip level of the track frequently goes away when the ambient temperature rises, and the track becomes more \u201cgreasy\u201d. I was working with a client at Sebring International Raceway<\/a> and this was his assessment after driving on the track in the afternoon versus in the morning. And his times were better in the morning when the temperature was cooler. I was hired to coach him and to help him improve his lap times but what I\u2019m really doing is helping him improve the technical aspects of his driving. In this case, the driver felt like he was driving better but the lap times just weren\u2019t there. I needed to substantiate his claims that he was dealing with less grip, but he was driving better. So, how did I do that?<\/p>
