Almeida Racing Academy

Try too much and you get too little.

Racing can be confusing when you oversteer because you're being cautious but you understeer precisely when you're trying to be more aggressive.

This is because you get diminishing returns on how much you put stress on the tires, after you reach the optimal limit. Anything after that gives you less of what you intended, and also gives you less control and less predictability.

Learn how to find these two limits and your level of control of a race car will skyrocket.

Here's what you should find (in order) to develop safety, consistency and predictability in a race car:

1. Braking performance in a straight line
2. Understeer (steering limit) on low speeds, then medium speeds, then high speeds
3. Oversteer (with the help of braking and engine braking) on low speeds, then medium speeds, then high speeds
4. Only then, you try to blend these limits together and move your braking reference late enough so you can maximize grip under braking without hurting your cornering and exit performance.

This seems simple, but absolutely every racing technique fall under one of these categories and this process can be perfected over the years for you to find the perfect driving technique.

We teach all this process inside the Almeida Racing Academy, with online courses ranging from Level 1 to Level 4 for both driving technique and racecraft (overtaking and defending) techniques.

Here's my initial analysis of driving technique!
