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.
