How to complete your
racing driver training
Driving fast isn’t just about pressing down the pedal, it’s about handling the details that separate the best racing drivers from the rest.
Precision braking, timing, and control all contribute to those important milliseconds that can make a big difference over a lap.
Every race car driver wants to be faster on track, perfecting their braking technique, and doing perfect laps under pressure. But the question is, how do you achieve that?
With Baseline Driver Training, you will get there.
Our program helps drivers at all levels optimize their braking techniques, develop confidence, and get new levels of control. Whether you’re a sim racer or competing on tracks, Baseline Driver Training provides the tools you need to become a faster and more consistent driver.
Why braking technique matters
Braking is one of the most important and often overlooked skills in racing. It’s not just about pressing down the pedal, it’s about controlling the car’s weight transfer to maintain balance and maximize grip. A slight misstep in braking can mean the difference between taking a corner perfectly or ending up outside of the track.
With Baseline Driver Training, you’ll learn how to:
- Modulate brake pressure for smooth deceleration.
- Transition seamlessly from throttle to brake.
- Adjust braking points for different corners and conditions.
- Maintain control under heavy braking scenarios.
By mastering these skills, you’ll not only improve your lap times but also gain the confidence to push harder and race smarter.
The 6 steps of the braking zone you need to perfect for your racing driver training
- Throttle release: Let go of the throttle completely before applying the brakes to shift weight forward and prepare for braking.
- Apply the brake: Press the brake pedal quickly and firmly to reach the ideal peak pressure for maximum deceleration.
- Peak: Identify and hold the point where the braking force is at its maximum without losing grip.
- Holding the peak pressure: Maintain the peak braking pressure, adjusting slightly based on available tire grip as you approach the corner.
- Release the brakes: Gradually ease off the brakes while steering into the corner to ensure the front tires have enough grip for turning.
- Apply the throttle: Smoothly increase throttle input as you exit the corner, eventually accelerating hard when the tires regain full grip.

What others have to say
“For me Baseline Driver Training is about the truly basic abilities you need to master when racing. At the same time it can help you believe in yourself and make sure you have practiced so much that you don’t end up in a situation where you begin to doubt yourself. If you have a really strong belief in yourself and that what you do is goof enough, it’s much more difficult to end up struggling with negative thoughts”
— Nicolai Kjærgaard, GTR Driver
“I have used Baseline Driver Training a lot when I raced in F4 in both Denmark and Spain. They are two very different cars, and I struggled a lot at the beginning to get used to the brakes in the car I switched to. But after I started using Baseline Driver Training in my preparation, I was much faster “on the pedals” when I switched cars.”
— Sebastian Gravlund, Eurocup 3 Driver
