'Fine tuning YOUR engine'
votwo recognises the unique physical and psychological demands of motor-sport. With experience working at the highest level in Formula 1, WRC, International Karting and motor cycle TT racing our understanding of what is takes to succeed in this competitive environment is second to none. We also work alongside high performance motoring manufacturers advising drivers and customers on all aspects of human performance.
Fit to drive?
For many years it has been recognised that a high degree of fitness is essential to sporting performance. However in motor racing, until relatively recently, this has been somewhat ignored. For competitive drivers improved physical conditioning enables greater consistency of lap times, increased tolerance of extreme environments and heightened concentration levels. From experience votwo have identified the following areas of human performance critical to motor-sport:
- Hydration: essential for physical and mental alertness.
- Aerobic fitness: allows greater tolerance of the heat and sustained endurance during long events. Also assists with weight management.
- Specific strength: to cope with G-forces and vibrations associated with high speeds.
- Injury prevention: greater conditioning reduces the likelihood of injuries and speeds up the recovery process should an accident occur.
- Reactions, responses and agility: through training, all of these factors remain sharp even under physical stress.
- Discipline: structured training builds confidence giving a mental and physical advantage over competitors.
