Driving smart is about more than just speed; it’s about precision, strategy, and foresight. The most successful race car drivers find a balance between driving smart and driving hard. They push the limits when the situation demands but know when to dial back to preserve their car and maintain their strategic advantage. Blayze racing coach Colin Mullan delves into the nuanced strategies that differentiate a seasoned champion from a mere speed enthusiast.

About the coach
I’ve been racing nearly my entire life, with experience in everything from open-wheel racing, touring cars, to GT and prototypes. In 2020 I won a GT4 America Championship driving with Andretti Autosport, and have been recognized as one of the most winning drivers in GT4 racing in the US. My goal as an instructor is to teach you the “how and why” to improve as a driver. It’s easy to tell you what to do to be faster, but becoming a better driver on track takes more than that.
