The FIA’s only female World Champion was ignored on International Women’s Day, and yes, it was WEIRD by Alan Dove

"It’s getting a bit strange now, and somewhat personally embarrassing, so much so I have to comment on it. If you search Susanna Raganelli on Youtube, my ugly face will appear. I will also be one of the top search answers on Google. I am a nobody, yet seem to be one of the only vocal advocates for recognition of Raganelli and her achievements. She is the only female FIA World Champion having won the 1966 World Karting Championship. This is obviously worth talking about. Vroom has taken the time to do so, but outside the karting media circle, silence. It’s been 6 years since I wrote A Forgotten Female World Karting Champion – The Curious Case of Susanna Raganelli and not much has changed!"

Mastering the Art of 'On Rails Driving' in Karting: A Guide to Precision and Efficiency 🏁

For those who relish the precision of karting, 'On Rails Driving' is a term that resonates deeply. This approach, where every slide or deviation from the track is a cardinal sin, speaks to the art of driving with unerring accuracy and control.

👀 Watching a driver maneuver a kart through turns faster than anyone else on the track, without any correction in steering or a single tire stepping out of line, is nothing short of mesmerizing. It's the hallmark of a driver with genuine class and a deep understanding of their craft.

🛤️ Just like a train seamlessly following its tracks without sliding, an 'On Rails' driver aims to keep the steering perfectly aligned with the kart's direction of travel. Slips, understeers, or any rear sliding are seen not just as errors, but as critical breaches in style and efficiency.

🔍 Visualizing the 'On Rails' Technique: Imagine the road and tire surfaces interlocking at a microscopic level. The driver's challenge is to maintain this intricate grip, avoiding excessive sliding, steering, or braking that might disrupt this delicate balance.

🏎️ Steps to Perfect 'On Rails Driving':
1️⃣ Stable Braking: Approach bends with stability; no locking up or sideways movements.
2️⃣ Minimal Steering Inputs: Navigate corners with the smallest steering angle, ensuring the rear follows without sliding. It's a skillful balance to maintain the perfect line and speed.
3️⃣ Smooth Corner Exits: Throttle application around the apex must be timed perfectly, maintaining alignment and pushing limits without disrupting the kart's trajectory.

Achieving the 'On Rails' driving style isn't just about adhering to a set of rules. It's about embracing a philosophy of karting where precision, control, and a deep connection with the machine lead to the most efficient, and satisfying, racing experience.

How to Stop Fooling Yourself on Test Days

Don't rely solely on random tweaks in karting. Validate each change and understand the 'why' behind lap time improvements.

- Avoid Winging It: Turning up without a plan is fun, but not strategic.

- Beware Confirmation Bias: Track improvements might not be from your "genius" tweak.

- A-B-A Testing: The gold standard for validation. Trust data, not just gut feel.

- Pre-Test Planning: Turn curiosities into hypotheses and set clear testing goals.

Don't get 'Customer-zoned' by race teams.

Racing teams view drivers differently than regular businesses view customers. 🏁

👪 Parents, step back. Let the driver build the relationships; otherwise, you're just another checkbook.

🏁 Inside a team, it's not just about beating rivals on the track. You're vying for attention, commitment, and the best engines against everyone.

🙏 Recognize the tireless dedication of team bosses. A simple thank you after a hard-fought race weekend can mean the world.

🌟 Strive to be more than a customer. Position yourself as the beating heart of the team, their emotional priority.

📱 Harness the power of social media to sing praises for your team, and help attract new business for them.

In racing, don't just be another face in the crowd. Be the driver that every team owner secretly dreams of championing.
