Ross Bentley & Sam Smith: How to get Better at Driving

Ross Bentley is one of the most famous driving coaches in racing and author of probably the best book on driving ever, "Speed Secrets". He and Sam Smith (formerly at Road&Track, Automobile, Hagerty, and more) host a podcast called "It's Not the Car" that explores the history and technology of racing and why it's always the people behind the car that make the difference. Topics include:   Does a simulator need to be expensive to be helpful?   Are motion simulators necessary?   What separates good drivers from great ones   How to win Le Mans if you never went karting   Is "natural talent" a real thing?   Why falling is good   One-on-one coaching vs driving school   Is a $20,000,000 simulator worth it?   Why Checo should ride with Max   and more! https://speedsecrets.com/ross-bentley/https://www.the-intercooler.com/library/writers/sam-smith/https://www.amazon.com/Smithology-Thoughts-Travels-Semi-Plausible-Writings/dp/B0D2Q3P93Zhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/its-not-the-car/id1724932544 Recorded October 21, 2024 Today get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to join https://www.deleteme.com/TIRE and use promo code TIREat checkout. New merch!
