Since its inception in 2013 by the Road Racing Drivers Club (RRDC), more than 300 drivers and motorsports professionals have contributed to tutorial films for aspiring racers produced by the club’s online driver development program, SAFEisFAST.
SAFEisFAST—which stands for Skilled, Assured, Fit and Empowered—creates tutorial videos for young racers that cover every attribute necessary to become professional drivers and championship winners, noted film producers in a company release. They are split into six categories: Finding Speed, Racecraft, Race Car Set-Up, Career Management, Mental & Fitness Training, and Driver Safety. The library of over 150 videos is also viewed by amateur racers and esports participants, both looking for success in the virtual world and transitioning to real-world competition.
The RRDC boasts free access to “the faculty money can’t buy” for SAFEisFAST’s films, featuring advice from F1, IndyCar and IMSA champions, including Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso, six-time IndyCar champion Scott Dixon and three-time IMSA champion Jordan Taylor.
Videos feature other leading motorsport professionals, such as team bosses Zak Brown, Roger Penske and Chip Ganassi, as well as media personalities Leigh Diffey, Bob Varsha and Marshall Pruett. Elsewhere, key engineers such as Kyle-Wilson Clarke and Jess Braun, race directors, fitness experts and safety developers from the FIA, IndyCar and motorsport’s leading apparel providers have all contributed.
Platform Brings Together Rival Drivers & Teams for Millions of Views
The films, which have amassed 7 million views in 174 countries, offer a unique platform for rival drivers and teams to come together to work toward the common goal of giving back to the sport and offering championship-winning advice to the next generation of racing talent, stated the release.
“SAFEisFAST is an integral part of the RRDC,” said Bobby Rahal, RRDC president. “There is no other program in the world that offers advice from the very best and most successful drivers completely for free. To have more than 300 contributors from Formula 1, IndyCar, IMSA and other top-level championships for our videos is a testament to the RRDC’s efforts to bring together drivers, team bosses, engineers and other motorsport professionals who want to give back to the sport.”
