Why Data beats “Vibes”

Most driving advice at track days is well-intentioned but vague. “Brake later,” “carry more speed,” or “be smooth” are outcomes, not inputs.

At Corkscrew Coaching, we focus on the physics of what the car is doing and the inputs you are making to influence it.

What to expect from this blog

I’ll be sharing:

  1. Track Guides: Specific breakdowns of Laguna Seca corners.
  2. Data Analysis: Real examples of finding time in the telemetry.
  3. Sim Racing: How to use iRacing to actually get faster in real life.
  4. Event Recaps: Notes from local events with SpeedSF, HOD, and others.

Stay tuned for our first deep dive into Turn 6 (Rainey Curve).
