The Safe Method to Find the Limit

This is the perfect method to safely find the limit in any race car and any race track. Some of the biggest problems with motorsports are fear and lack of confidence, paired with a lack of proper preparation and instruction from coaches and teams. This is the reason many beginners get frustrated and even quit motorsports. And even if you don't, you feel like you get stuck at a beginner level, afraid of pushing the car over the limit and crash.

After working with drivers all over the world, it's time to launch the Almeida Motorsports program. By the end of this online course, you will know exactly how to drive on track with confidence, knowing how to safely push the race car, where to be aggressive, where to be smooth, and how to prevent unnecessary crashes and spins. You will learn how to approach the race car's capabilities in the most effective and safest way.

I've helped many racing students save tens, sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars, and prevented crash damage, but this requires the right processes in the right order.

What Holds Us Back in Racing

When we get on track for the first time, we are obviously way under the speed the car is capable of taking. At first, we're mostly just copying the lines that someone told us to do and trying to hit the references that someone told us to hit. As you gain confidence, you start breaking later and trying to carry more speed into the corners. But at this point, you still don't know exactly what the car is capable of, or how to feel its limitations.

The Problem with Confidence and Fear

The problem with confidence and fear shows up when we get a little bit too excited, and it up forcing the car too much for the first time. Some of us go wide and off track, some of us lose the car and spin, and some of us crash. All it takes is one big mistake to completely drop your confidence and hurt your mentality. Because after these small traumas, the fear gets in the way way more easily. Fear prevents learning.

The earlier we learn the right tools to learn and find the limit of a race car, the better emotional connection to driving fast we develop. And the faster we learn. The earlier we deal with the right processes, step by step, the earlier we feel confident to push the limit in the right way. Which increases the speed at which we learn how to find the perfect limit.

Understanding the Limit

You will also learn what the limit even means and how to feel it on track. We will break down the concept of limit into bite-sized pieces that fit together perfectly so you can approach them safely without exposing yourself to danger.

The Wrong Approach

The worst thing you can do is to just try to go fast and end up pushing the car while literally guessing your inputs and trying to just deal with it in the middle of the corner. This guessing game works for a small percentage of the drivers, but it will be mostly by luck, by luckily doing the right things and reinforcing them through repetition. But statistically speaking, without a proper step by step system, most likely this will not work for you and it will hurt your learning as well as your confidence.

The Right Approach

Instead, you have to learn exactly where and how you will test the grip of the car and push it properly and then expand this process until you can be on the limit of all stages of the corner and more specifically without going past this limit by accident and outside your control.

Course Structure and Benefits

This course has the best possible learning structure that will solve these problems one by one and will free you from all these fears that haunt most racing drivers in their early careers, all dramatically improving the speed at which you improve your racing technique.

Teaching Methods

Every lesson will be demonstrated and explained in both on track footage but also on the simulator because it allows us to scientifically approach and illustrate them in the best way possible. Just like aviation pilots treat their flight simulators since it's required that they put hundreds of hours of simulation training before they can fly in real life safely. Professional racing simulators are perfect to show concept and ideas in a safe manner, especially when we're trying exaggerated effects and techniques like spinning on purpose or other extreme scenarios.
