**The Thrill of Being a Professional Driver**

[motor running]

[upbeat jazz music]

Dude, it was insane! How slow I am compared to like what that car can actually do. I would venture to say that almost everyone watching our videos here at Donut have fantasized about being a professional driver.

Many of us wonder, "What's it like to drive so fast?" or "How does one become a pro driver?" As we watch the cars speed by on the track, we can't help but feel a sense of awe and admiration for those who can handle such high speeds with ease.

**Conclusion**

It's clear that many of us have a deep fascination with professional driving, and it's not hard to see why. The thrill, the skill, and the adrenaline rush that comes with racing is something that few people experience in their daily lives. Who knows? Maybe one day we'll all be able to drive like pros!

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en(motor running)(upbeat jazz music)- Dude, it was insanehow slow I am comparedto like what that car can actually do.I would venture to saythat almost everyonewatching our videos hereat Donut have fantasized aboutbeing a professional driver.Many of us wonder,"Hey, what separates me,someone who enjoys carving the canyons,from someone who does this for a living,a real true professional?"Obviously a pro hastrained their whole lifeand has a degree of natural aptitude.But once they're in the car,what is a professional doingthat an amateur like myselfjust can't keep up with?Well, today we're going totake a scientific approachto driving fast.We're going to track eye movements,steering and feet inputs,and compile all that datato figure out what apro's doing that I'm not.And at the end of this,we'll have a nice listof track day tips thatyou can take to the trackand drive faster than your buddies.'Cause that's what this is all about.It's all about bragging rights.The guy gave me advice.He was like, "Hey, it'sgot four wheel steering.And it's gonna feel likethe car's gonna go outfrom under you."He's like, "Don't worry about that."I was like, "All right."So I'm a little nervous.(upbeat electronic music)Thanks to Off the Recordfor sponsoring this episode.It looks like someone didn'thave the luck of the Irishthis St. Patrick's day andended up

this?- We found it.- Oh.In my quest to be a faster driver,I thought, "Hey, if I couldstudy every move a pro makes,all I'd have to do is mimic them,and I'd instantly get faster."But to mimic them, I first need to recordand analyze what they'redoing that I'm not.And with this powerful knowledge in hand,it will produce some fasterlap times and a checklistof things I can do on the track.So instead of researchinghow to drive fastby reading books, yuck,the B2B team made a trip toLas Vegas to visit our friendsat Exotics Racing.They have their own private1.2 mile track and a bunchof supercars that fit perfectlywith our little experiment.Using a bunch of camerasand these super niftyeye-tracking glasses from Pupil Labs,we will record my steering inputs,my braking and accelerating inputs,and see where my eyes were focusingwhile I'm out there on the track,then compare all of that datato my driving instructor, Mike.(engine running)That's Mike.Mike runs the drift cars out at Exoticsand also knows his way around a GT3RS,the car we will be using for our tests.The first session of the day,I got zero instructional help.I did seven laps withMike sitting beside mein total silence.I took all that GoProexperience from my past,and I made a lot of mistakes.And the first thing Inoticed after we lookedat the footage was what Iwas doing wrong with my feet.(upbeat jazz music)When it comes to throttleand braking input,the two things yourfeet are doing in a car,Mike and I had, let'ssay, different approaches.Let's take a look at thiscorner in particular.The first thing you'll notice isthat I'm wearing Space Jams.Yeah, your boys, a sneakerhead.Hit me up on Insta ifyou want to talk kicks.I've got strong kick game.Second, you'll see a lot ofunnecessary movement going on.I'm on the gas.Then I go to the brakes,but I don't brake.I then go back on the gas.I'm unsure about my inputs.This might be due to the factthat I'm still getting afeel for the car and track.But even after a couple of laps,I'm still doing this dance with my feet.If we compare that to Mike's feet,you can see that he moveshis feet with purpose.And you also notice when he transitionsfrom braking to acceleratingand back to brakinghow extremely smooth those actions are.And that is what's really important here.If you want to learn how to gofaster, you need smooth feet.So is there a science tobeing smooth in a race car?Oh yeah.To maximize accelerating,turning, and braking,you have to know how tomaximize your tire's gripand not exceed it.And there's one thing about tiresthat people don't tell you.They suck at multitasking.If you're using 100% of atire's grip for braking,you can't say, "Hey, tires,why don't we throw insome turning in here too?"Your tire's all like, "You'reasking too much of me.I'm not your mother."So if you're braking and you want to turn,you have to proportionatelyreduce your braking to do it.Driving fast requires balancingand braking and turningand accelerating and turningto make sure you have enoughgrip to stay out of the weeds.Not only do you need smoothfeet, you need smooth hands.(smooth electronic music)To help understand howwe get smooth hands,we can look at string theory.According to driving string theory,to balance smooth turningwith smooth accelerationor braking, just imagine astring attached to the bottomof your steering wheel andthe top right of your foot.If you're at wide open throttlewith the steering wheel pointed straight,the string is taut, andyou can't turn the wheel.To turn the wheel, you'llhave to lay off the throttle,and the harder you want to turn,the less throttle input you can give.Same thing applies to brakes.Hard braking, no turning, and vice versa.This is a quick and easyvisualization techniquefor managing your tire's limited grip.One way that new track driverslike myself get into troubleis by using inputs thatare too aggressive.Changing a tire's mind takes time,and those aggressiveinputs unsettle the car,abruptly changing orexceeding the tire's grip.So how smooth were my handsduring my first session?Not too bad.Okay?I didn't have a ton oferratic steering movements,but what I did do wrongwas not connect the motionsof my hands with my feet.String theory not initiated.You can see here I'mturning while still braking.And here I'm still puttingon a pretty aggressive turnwhile I'm on the gas.When the car is braking,turning, accelerating,or in my case, a combo ofthose, the distributionof the car's weight istherefore constantly changing.Say a car is rolling straightwith a constant velocity.Each wheel is providing an equal amountof load and therefore traction.But now say I brake really hard.The front of the car,it's gonna dive forward,and the front wheels arenow carrying more load.The opposite occursduring heavy acceleration.But with either case, the total gripwhen the car is braking,turning, or accelerating is lessthan when each wheel isequally carrying the loadand the car is balanced.You can see here when Mike makes a turn,it's one long smooth turn,and then he's back to center.Me, on the other hand,I gradually get there.I'm doing little, little adjustments.Overall, the main thingto take away is Mike,when he steers with hishands, it has purpose.He's making that turn,and then he's going back.He does it with purpose,and he does it smoothly.Take a look at this graph.My speed is on the Y axis,and the distance that I'mtraveling is on the X axis.Now the more area under thatcurve signifies a faster timearound the track.If we look at these twographs side by side,you can clearly see that Mike is faster,but what's interestingis where he's fasterat certain points of the track and why.Right here, for example Mikeis braking way, way later.You know that becausehis speed is still highup until he turns into the corner.But me, for example, I'mbraking way too early.I don't get up to themaximum speed that Mike does.And his time shows that.My fastest time in the firstsession was 57.65 seconds.Mike did it in 51.48 seconds,six seconds faster a lap.That is a lot of time,six seconds to be exact.But just think about that for a second.Say you're doing a 10-lap race.Mike would already be lapping mebefore the race even finished.And that is embarrassing.You never want to get lapped.The next thing that differentiates a profrom someone like me is their eyes.So we got these really neat glassesfrom a company called Pupil Labs.These are the invisible glasses,and they had these twolittle cameras right herethat are tracking themovement of your eye.And then it correlates it tothis forward facing camera.And it can determinewhere my eyes are looking.(smooth jazz music)So let's look at what myamateur eyes were doingduring my first session.Well, I was looking waytoo close to the car.You can see right here, I'm looking justpast the fender of the car.By not keeping my eyes up, I'mlimiting my field of vision.Not on every corner,but the corners I feltmost uncomfortable with,I went back to staringright in front of the car.Right here, for example, my eyes,they're still looking at braking coneswhen I should alreadybe focused on the apex.And then I look at the apex way too longbefore darting up to the exit.Watching Mike's eyes, though,they are up and lookingway down the track.Once he's into the corners,he's looking one stepahead of where the car is.He's got pro eyes.With his wider field of vision,he has more time to see what's coming upand alter his driving inputs accordingly.Looking ahead also connectsthe dots on the racing line.The track at Exotics, theyhave various cones around it,braking cones, apex cones, exit cones.So by looking ahead, youcan focus on these conesso that you hit your correct line.One of the major mistakes I madein my initial session isI chose an incorrect linebecause I'm not looking up.I'm not pointing the carwhere it needs to be pointed.Look up Jerry, look up.So if I had to boil down whatI learned, it would be this.One, freaking look ahead.Maximize your field of vision.Two, have smooth brakingand handling inputs.Brake smoothly in a straight linewithout any added steering.Same thing goes for accelerating.Same thing goes for turning.Three, connect all the dots on the trackthat form the best racing line,and do that while not gettingthe car out of balance.So armed with thesenewly learned techniques,I got back out on the trackto put these principlesto practice for my finalsession of the day.But not before a little bitof motivation was added into the mix.You see, I found out that GordonRamsay is a fellow car guyand frequent customer at Exotics Racing.That's interesting to mebecause I also happen to be a fellow chef.You may remember that I'mquite the French toast maker.Lots of you asked about my recipe.I've posted it on my Instagram.If I was going to beat that donut-- Donut.- Of a chef, I needed tobe smooth and look ahead,smooth hands, smoothfeet, smooth eyeballs.So lap after lap, I did my bestto implement these newtechniques and beat Gordon.But was it enough?(crowd cheering)I want to thank ExoticsRacing for having usand the Donut crew out there.They were super, super cool.If you want to go drive afreaking supercar around a trackwhen you're out in Las Vegas, hit them up.Link in the description below.Those guys are great.They got all sorts of cars.You can even ride along ina drift car, which we did,which was a ton of fun.Thanks to Pupil Labs for supplyingthe eye-tracking glasses.Without these glasses, we wouldn't be ableto see all the mistakes I made.If you're interested inlearning more about Pupil Labs,hit the link in the description below.They got a bunch of cool products,including those eye-tracking glasses.Until next week.Bye for now.(smooth electronic music)
