Ross Bentley – From the start

This will likely be another element to the channel. Throughout my time at the track I have bumped into some pretty amazing drivers. I think it goes without saying that Ross is not only one of those guys but also an amazing coach.

Prior to Pro Coaching (SpeedSecrets), Ross spent his time as a professional racing driver. He drove many classes including IndyCar and IMSA Sports Car. I hope you enjoy listening to the interview as much as I did doing the interview. 

Here’s the direct link.

New Day, New Track

Awesome 2 days spent at The Ridge Motorsports Park with Track Time and Ken Hill. Having frequented tracks all over, this is actually the first time I have been to a dedicated motorcycle track day. It was a lot to take in, but not too dissimilar when compared to the 4 wheeled equivalent. 

The first thing I noticed when I arrived at the track was the looming drop between turns 13 and 14 (which I dubbed “The Plunge”). This indicated immediately how much of a rollercoaster this awesome track is.

The track itself has a ton of compound turns and you have to look many turns ahead to work out what needs to be compromised to maximise time.

Even managed to experience a few hot laps in Ken’s Camaro SS 1LE!
