Two at the track. One for everything in between.
There are three ways to work with me. Pick the one that fits, or tell me what you are dealing with and I will say what makes sense.
Driver trackside support
Day rate
I'm with you for the weekend. Warm ups, vision work, cognitive prep before each session, hydration and recovery between them, treatment when you need it.
- Warm ups before every session

How I work.
Assess
First visit, I watch. Pit stop practice, how the drivers warm up, who is carrying what. Then I test what needs testing.
Plan
You get a written plan per driver and per pit stop role, with what we are changing and why.
Deliver
Trackside days, workshop visits, online sessions, whichever the plan calls for.
Review
Pre, mid and post season testing so we can see what moved.
Trackside driver support and trackside team support are day rates. Workshop and online support is a monthly retainer. I quote per programme because no two teams need the same thing.
Things people ask me.
Do you travel to every round?
If that is what the programme needs, yes. Trackside support is booked by the day, so some teams have me at every round and some at the ones that matter most to them.
What does a trackside day actually include?
For a driver: warm ups before each session, vision and reaction work, cognitive prep, hydration and recovery between sessions, and treatment whenever it is needed. For a team: all of that plus the crew, the pit stop practice and the emergency plan.
How do you analyse a pit stop?
I film practice stops from fixed angles, break each role down into its movement pattern, and look at where the load goes and where the time goes. Then we change one thing at a time and film it again.
Can you work with a team based outside the UK?
Yes. Trackside work is wherever the race is. Between rounds, I coach staff online and build the plans remotely.
Do you work with junior drivers?
Yes. Before Formula 2 I looked after drivers from karting up to GB3, and a lot of what matters later starts there.

Tell me what you need and I will say what makes sense.
Tell me what you are dealing with, which series, and when. I read everything myself and I will come back to you the same day where I can.
