A Racer Is Always Thinking

Let's ride with Dion Von Moltke at Mazda Raceway-Laguna Seca as he narrates a practice lap before the ALMS race last week.  On this occasion Dion was driving the Flying Lizards GTC Porsche 911.

One quality differentiating a great driver from merely a good one is the ability to understand car behavior and articulate it to their engineers so setup can be optimized.

What Dion is doing in this clip, talking through his own lap, is a very good exercise for anyone racing or even just tracking as it forces you to be conscious of your choices, try it sometimes.

Just sit back and enjoy this battle between the Flying Lizards Porsche Gt3 RS of Jörg Bermeister and the BMW M3 GT of Bill Auberlen at the Mosport ALMS race. They are both driving the boobs off the cars

Speaking of driving the boobs off a car, check out the last lap battle between TRG teammates Dion Von Moltke and Spencer Pumpelly (CG's driver coach) after the jump.
