Competitors in motorsport need to be physically comfortable under the unique stresses that racing places on the mind and the body. An accurate assessment of key fitness parameters gives a driver a complete understanding of their current performance level. This allows training to be specifically tailored to maximise improvements and strengthen any weaknesses.
The Motorsport Assessment comprises of:
- Body composition analysis
- Eyesight screening specific for driving
- Reaction and co-ordination testing specific for driving
- Aerobic fitness assessment
- Strength assessment
- Comprehensive consultation on assessment results
A motorsport assessment can be used as a standalone service to aid development of your own training plan or we can offer a comprehensive support package, known as the Pro-Am Training package.
The Test of Attention and Interpersonal Style (TAIS) is a sporting gold standard measure of how you concentrate, interact with others and perform under pressure. Your results are referenced against a general population and those of World Champions, allowing us to identify ways in which your psychological skills can be improved and your performance can be enhanced.

For competitive drivers, improved physical conditioning enables greater consistency of lap times, increased tolerance of extreme environments and heightened concentration levels.
