"Ever since car-to-pit radios entered the public domain, the role of the Race Engineer has been thrown into sharper focus. On television, Race Car  fans have become used to hearing the sound of a mysterious voice talking to a driver. In our Team, the men behind the microphone are J.C. Alvarez and Alain Clarinvale. The relationship between the driver and his Engineer is one of the most important in any Racing team. It is a key factor in winning a championship". Fred Vierheller

“One of the biggest challenges we face is translating technical issues into a language the driver can easily understand,” JC says

"It was great to get another pole and to be honest when the flag dropped at the start of the race I didn't look back. The car ran well, J.C. my engineer got it so right with the set-up of the car for the race and I picked up fastest lap as well."

Driving a car is a dynamic exercise which is not limited to the physics controlling simple motions. Yes, you can brake, accelerate and turn. You can also brake and turn at the same time or accelerate and turn at the same time. More importantly, you can brake a lot and turn a little or brake a little and turn a lot. The entire road-holding capability decreases as speed increases. As it nears its limits, the car becomes more sensitive to smoothness. The physics of motion are disadvantageously loading the suspension. If tire adhesion is the glue that holds the car to the road, smoothness is its applicator.

Driving style should always be regarded as another factor in setup. One should put forth a lot of analysis into what attributes his or her driving style requires. Through careful understanding of this, one can quickly discern which direction a setup must go in order to accommodate the drivers’ particular style.

Every setup is like a meticulously tailored suit; while it works great for one driver, it can be totally counterproductive to another. With this in mind, one should understand that when trying another’s setup, instant speed is not always the case. In fact, many times it’s the exact opposite. In this case, the setup itself is not poor, it’s just missing the technique required to maximize its capabilities. Still, by understanding the contents of this guide, a driver should be able to quickly identify the setup characteristics and make adjustments attempting to shift the effectiveness towards a more positive result.

The logic of polished performance driving is easily understood. We want to get from point “A” to point “B” quicker, get all the odds in your favor before the game starts. To do so takes advanced preparation.

To put this whole learning experience on a level that can be dealt with, just whittle it down a bit and set some goals.
