Client of the Month – Marcus Xing

Marcus Xing is a 23 year old young man that is interested in racing. He has no experience and has never been involved with the sport before. However given his age and considerable lack of experience, he is still interested to become a professional racer which would eventually lead him to race in Europe.
So he approached Global Racing Schools for help on advice on how to proceed with his racing career aspirations as he has just completed a disastrous formula training program from a popular school in Thailand. So Global Racing Schools set him up on a Program in Philippines to conduct his racing initiation program for 5 days based on a customized program cater to his learning curve.

Day 1 – Day 3 ( 1 on 1 kart training)
His first challenge was to learn all the fundamental racing techniques of racing and to do so he used the most fundamental and basic form of racing; Go Kart( Tony kart with 125cc Rotax Engine). He was set up for a 3 day 1 on 1 karting training program followed by a 2 day Touring car Package. The karting program’s focus was to instill the basic sense of racing lines, braking lines, entry and exit strategies to achieve a perfect lap.

Under the guidance of 2 kart engineers and 2 race instructors, his intense program included over 200 laps of karting that included:

  • Entry/ Strategies
  • Pace Kart overtaking maneuvers
  • Racing Lines
  • Braking Lines and many more

With a zestful spirit to learn and a determination to get the most out of the program, Marcus started out with a bang to finish the 3 day karting program 7 seconds faster than his initial time on the 1st day. On top of that dipping below the track average timing which is considerable amazing considering his lack of experience in karting and racing. On the completion of Day 3, Marcus had a good knowledge of Racing fundamentals on track and was ready to take on Touring car racing.

Day 4 – 5 ( 1 on 1 Touring Car Training)

The final 2 days of the program was to have private training on a Race Prepped Touring car. After the rough and tumble of a go kart, sitting in a touring car had an immense difference on the driver’s physical body so he was able to make even better use of it.

The 2 days of training was focused on techniques such as:

  • Heel/ Toe Techniques for downshifting properly
  • Positioning of the car on track
  • Oversteer and understeer, what they are and how to correct or solve them
  • When to apply the power and how this affects the overall corner speed and balance of the
  • When and how hard to brake
  • Vision and how important it is to be looking through the corner and many more.

By the end of the Touring Car Program, Marcus managed to beat the timings of more experienced drivers due to his intensive training and accelerated learning curve. Fully satisfied with the program, Global Racing Schools is currently arranging a long term goal for him to get his advanced FIA License so as to race in the British Touring Car Championship within 3 years.
