Driver development
Faster starts with
understanding.
Coaching should help a driver understand what is happening, why it is happening and what to change next.
Michael Di Paolo combines championship-winning driving experience with the perspective of a team owner and hands-on race-car builder. The result is coaching grounded in real execution: driving technique, preparation, communication and the car itself.
