[FUNDAMENTALS] HOW TO START YOUR OWN FEEDBACK LOOP
Feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Build your own feedback loop with a custom worksheet
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, thinking you need to get everything right at every corner of every lap. The reality is, even professionals fall short of perfection. A perfect lap is the standard we chase, yet it remains elusive even for the greatest.
The best understand that real progress comes one step at a time, constructed through a personal feedback loop, a process that moves you forward by focusing on one detail at a time, one lap at a time. Let’s start building your own feedback loop.
Starting Your Own Feedback Loop
Set clear goals: Define one or two specific objectives before you roll out of the pits, such as improving brake release or consistently nailing apexes.
Write it down: Update your feedback-loop checklist before and after every track session while the information is fresh in your mind.
Stay focused: Keep your mind on preset goals, with actionable report cards. Avoid chasing a lap time; improvements will come from working on your goals.
Complete a report card: Score key fundamentals (e.g., vehicle placement, vision, brake adjustability) using a scale of 1 to 5 with 0.25 increments for precision.
Review and adjust: Use the data from your feedback checklist (below) and report card to fine-tune your goals, creating a continuous improvement cycle.
