Why Go It Alone, When You Can Learn From The Best In Motorsports?

The challenge of mastering the art and science of racing is what makes the sport so thrilling. But why go it alone when you can learn from the best? The Motorsports Playbook is your ultimate guide to unlocking the secrets of success on the track – and it’s a guide you might feel I wrote specifically for you.

Ross Bentley on Your Data Driven Podcast

” Samir has a knack for drawing out the best tips, tricks and pieces of advice from his podcast guests. To have all of these lessons in one simple, easy-to-digest book is hugely valuable.”

Ross Bentley – Indycar Driver & Coach

The Challenge of Organising Your Notes

As an experienced race engineer and amateur motorsports participant, I understand the challenges you face.

One of those challenges is the lack of time you have to organise all the notes you made from listening to my podcast… (You did make notes, right?!)

That’s why I took on the task of organising and summarising the wisdom and advice from my first guests – 20 of the worlds top professionals in motorsports, including Indycar driver and coach Ross Bentley, F1 race and rally engineers, and The Original Stig.

My thinking was, imagine how much you’d learn from spending time with just one of these superstars. Now, imagine how much more could you learn from 20…

Creating this book turning into a 3-month endeavour, but the results were remarkable – I’ve found many “golden nuggets” of advice that I’m sure will give you several ‘aha’ moments.

The reason is because all the themes are aimed at help you solve common problems you face in performance driving and motorsports coaching. When you see what all these experts have to say, all brought together, its very powerful.

Great listen by Dan Hale 5star

Just thought I’d pass on my congratulations on your superb podcasts! I can honestly say that all of them where very interesting but above all inspirational. All of the guests seemed very grounded and pitched at your audience perfectly (or to me anyway!). Keep up the good work.

The Motorsports Playbook

The book is a collection of quotes from the guests, but I’ve arranged them in a way that sometimes makes it feel like the different guests are actually talking amongst themselves.

The result is that their advice will feel more relevant, relatable and personal to you, as an amateur motorsports participant. It’s uncanny at times – especially considering most of the guests have never met.

You get a menu of proven approaches you can apply to immediately start gaining confidence, speed and lap time.

149 pages of quotes, summaries and key takeaways.

Lessons all clearly arranged to help you see inside the mind of someone who has drivencoached or engineered at the highest level in motorsports:

FAQ

Who is the Motorsports Playbook for?

The amateur racing driver and their teams. This book is for you if you want to:

  • get unstuck from your current performance plateau.
  • start getting more organised.
  • get a head start if track driving is new to you.
  • gain an advantage over your competitors.
  • help others more effectively – as a coach, instructor or engineer.
  • learn how to adopt a more professional approach.
  • have more confidence on track.

How can I apply this knowledge?

I challenge every guest who comes on the show to give us one or two key takeaways. Actionable advice that they have picked up in their job but that you can easily apply – given this is not your day job. All the lessons are laser-focused on helping you given your limits of time, money and man-power. Some suggestions are so simple you will be kicking yourself for not thinking of it before. The aim is to give you the clarity and confidence to know not only what is possible but when is enough.

I can’t read! ?

Grab the audiobook version. Personally I think this is the best format. As you will discover though, everyone has their own personal learning style. The audio version is great to listen too during exercise, on your daily commute or on your travels to the track.

Why would I pay given I can listen to the shows free?

What started to become apparent during the show recordings were common themes, suggestions and approaches. The Motorsports Playbook is my interpretation of all that advice. Hours of shows distilled into a form that makes it more easy for you to learn, recall and apply what is being said. The shows are like the raw materials. The book transforms the best bits into an actionable tool you can use.

Why Playbook?

In sports the best coaches have a “Playbook” on how they would approach different key scenarios. Strategic, precise and actionable knowledge on how to succeed. The Motorsports Playbook aims to be your little black book of wisdom that works in motorsports.

Is this a real book?

Yes and no. Yes as it is a properly formatted, organised and produced book with its own ISBN number and registration. No, as it is digital and not (currently) made of paper.

Can I get a free sample?

Yes! Grab the first 24 pages here.
