Coaching

Unlike many sports, motorsport has traditionally not had a culture of coaching within clubs. This seems a little strange, given the complexity, speed and potential risks associated with motorsport!

With this in mind, the Scottish Motor Racing Club are proud to be the first motor racing club in the UK to run a club coaching programme for members. Regardless of whether you are a seasoned campaigner, a young career minded driver or a complete newcomer to the sport, our team of experienced Motorsport UK qualified coaches are on hand to help.

How does the coaching Service work?

Race Meeting Support

There will always be at least one SMRC coach available at our race meetings. If you have a question or would like someone to have a quick look over one of your on-board video’s, then you can ask one of our coaching team and they will be happy to help. We will share details with competitors on which coaches are available before each race meeting.

Group Sessions

We run group sessions for members throughout the year. These are usually classroom based and focus on a variety of subjects from an ‘Introduction to Racing’ course, for newcomers, to a technical driving theory session for people of all experience levels.

There is a modest fee for taking part in one of these sessions. Keep an eye out in our club news for updates on the next session.

Private Coaching Sessions

If you would like a bespoke coaching session that is tailored to your own needs, then we offer one to one sessions with our coaches. This could take the form of in car coaching at a track day, one to one video coaching on a test day, a goal setting session etc.
