The shell and structure of the new building to house the Learn To Race simulator is coming along.
In 2019 we will be offering track familiarisation sessions at a variety of tracks from all corners of the globe along with driver coaching sessions.
Contact us to find out more and to book a session.
Finishing off the last working day of the year today with the end of a 2 week event giving guests the opportunity to ‘Be The First’ to drive the fantastic new BMW 8 Series.
December and January are often quieter months in the motorsport community as the weather can preclude any decent tracktime so at LearnToRace HQ I’ll be using the time to build a simulator to enable track familiarisation and coaching sessions to be done all year round.
Updates will be on here during the build process and the simulator will be open for business in the New Year.

LearnToRace’s David Hornsey has two fantastic books available that make superb winter reading.
‘Race and Trackday Driving Techniques’ was David’s first book and looks at developing your driving technique. It covers all experience levels from beginner to expert and shows how you can break down your driving to analyze it yourself to help your improvement on track.
‘Trackday Car Preparation’ covers the tasks involved in building a trackday or race car from a road car donor. It goes through in detail the mods to make, the best order to do them and what helps the most.
Both books are available from the publisher Veloce.co.uk, your favourite online book retailer, book stores and we have a limited stock available here at LearnToRace HQ.
Check out the Shop page to buy books direct form the publisher or if you wish to buy either book at £15.99 including UK post and packing drop David and email on dhmotorsport@hotmail.com with your contact details and we will respond with payment details.
A little late, here is the roundup of racing for LearnToRace’s friends and coaches.
Damien Faulkner had a much better weekend in the Tudor United Sportscar Championship finishing 4th in GTD in his Porsche 991 GTA in the 6 Hours of Watkins Glen whilst over in Europe the British GT field headed to Spa in Belgium for a couple of races around the famous circuit. Joe Osborne, pro driver and coach in the 88 Triple 8 Optimum BMW Z4 GT3 didn’t have a very good first race with the changing conditions giving co driver Lee Mowle a tough time on the wrong choice of tyre at the start of the race and they only managed 18th place. Race 2 however proved much better with 5th place, just 7 seconds off the win and less than a tenth off 4th.
LearnToRace founder David Hornsey was also in action in round 5 of the CSCC Modern Classics at Castle Combe. After qualifying 2nd on the grid after a traffic filled but great battle for pole with the BMW M3 of David Marcussen David took the first stint, involved in a nose to tail and side by side battle with Marcussen all the way to the pitstops where the LodgeSports Racing team did a fantastic job to get co-driver Steve Miller out with a 12 second advantage. The race was red flagged with one lap to run but Steve still had nearly 7 seconds in hand to claim another overall victory for the team. Highlights of the race can be found on the youtube page of David Hornsey or by following the link below:
