Cunningham - Racing and Development

Karting and the road to cars has changed a lot in the past few years. Data acquisition, young driver development and introducing new concepts at a young age is becoming a popular trend and necessary trend. Reducing costs by carrying an Arsenal of data acquisition systems and being a multi faceted technician with personal inventory. With the mind set of being a race driver, and not winning, we develop a professional. Which is the end goal. Winning is a bi product of proper practice. Working with subconscious techniques and brain games, on track exercises and direct race tuning, I strive to create turn key professional race drivers. Devin Cunningham Noted quote ~ "As the pilot’s father, Karting is more to me than an opportunity for my son to drive fast and win races. Karting can also be a great environment where kids and teenagers can learn a lot and grow up to well-prepared adults. This is exactly what I found with C-RAD because Devin’s teaching to Marc-Antoine goes well beyond driving techniques. For example, Marc-Antoine is learning: • How to better prepare, physically and mentally, for practices, testing and races; • How to “sense” the kart, in order to provide the mechanics with better feedback for kart setup adjustments; • How to analyze data in order to improve his driving and kart setup; • That one have to work hard and systematically to overcome particular challenges. Because he is built tall and robust, Marc-Antoine and his kart make it 15-20 lbs more on the scale than most of the other drivers in his category. He is aware of this challenge but Devin has turned this into a motivation to work harder and better in order to be competitive. All this has benefited Marc-Antoine a lot so far: on the track, around the track, and outside karting, for example at school and other aspects of his life. This means a lot to his parents and I thank Devin for his positive influence on our son." Denis Poirier ~
