weekly routine

Balancing a demanding schedule while keeping my racing skills sharp enough to compete in the midfield against 4k-rated drivers requires a commitment of at least 4 hours per week. Here's how I structure my practice:

First Hour:

    Spend 10-15 minutes familiarizing with or learning the track layout.
    Begin with a slow outlap to reset the car, setting an active reset point just before the final turn. This allows me to repeatedly practice the last section, refining my line for both qualifying and race scenarios.
    Start running fast laps, aiming for 2-3 before returning to the garage to analyze performance. Focus on eliminating inconsistent braking first and foremost. Typically, I go through 5-7 iterations before taking a break, allowing the learning to consolidate overnight.

Second Hour:

    Revisit telemetry to identify problematic corners. Engage in focused practice with an active reset, aiming for 100 attempts per corner. Refresh with a new lap to ensure the corrections are solidified, repeating as necessary. Typically, I manage to refine three corners per race week, while adapting on the fly or striving for consistent performance in others.

Third Hour:

    Conduct a full tank stint, which for me equates to a stint and a half (66% fuel capacity). Today's focus is on practicing pit entry. Post-practice, analyze telemetry for fuel consumption and tire wear. If using a borrowed or adapted setup, make necessary adjustments to optimize it for my driving style. Test these changes the following day.

Fourth Hour:

    Continue with full tank runs and further refine pit entry technique. This level of preparation is usually sufficient to excel at familiar tracks. However, competing in the top split poses a greater challenge.
