Technical skills include driving technique – being able to handle the car through various conditions and understanding how the inputs affect performance. When we talk about ‘technical’ factors, we’re also considering consistency and precision, as well as car feedback.

In this workshop, Driver61 will give top tips on taking the perfect racing line, mastering the corner phases and vision as well as braking and steering techniques.

The F1 ACADEMY Driver Development Workshop Series is specifically designed for young female drivers engaged in competitive karting and/or racing, and their essential support network.
