Why racing instructors use Video VBOX

Video and GPS data loggers have become a vital tool for circuit racing instructors and coaches. Here’s why.

As an instructor, you have a good knowledge of how to get a car around a circuit in the quickest possible time, and how to coach others to do the same.

However, do you ever find that some customers have trouble putting into practice what you are saying, or sometimes don't even believe that what you are trying to teach them will actually make them faster? Perhaps as their abilities increase, the law of diminishing returns means it is increasingly difficult to identify areas for improvement? Would you like to show your customers exactly how much quicker your advised line or technique will make them?

 

Here are just a few reasons why the use of an in car camera system and GPS logging can help to solve these issues:

  • Immediately identifying areas for improvement – customers will keep coming back for coaching whatever their level.
  • Providing an objective back up to what you’re saying with data and video – this helps when dealing with big egos!
  • Adding value for your customers – you can sell the footage and data, hire systems out, or possibly install and sell systems in your customer’s cars.

In-car data and video: the ultimate
driver training tool

Enthusiasts and professionals worldwide agree that Video VBOX is the ultimate in-car camera system and driver training tool. It combines broadcast quality video from up to four bullet cameras, accurate GPS data logging, stunning graphics, and highly rated driver training software.

This combination means that for many racing coaches around the world, Video VBOX in-car video and race data acquisition adds a vital dimension to instruction.

Here's what Rob Barff, racing instructor and professional driver thinks:

How using video and data can help cut lap times, at any level.

Article here.

"With the data interpretation we now get very detailed analysis on a lap by lap basis, whereas in days gone by when driver coaches were just sitting alongside the clients, they'd only get a general overview from the coach.

Now they get that broad perspective plus - over a cup of tea and in very much more a productive state of mind – they can analyse driving patterns; general areas of competence that can be left well alone; and areas of concern.

There are techniques that you can learn by yourself, but it will take years to do so; using the video and data massively shortcuts that process."

Racing Instructor Profile: Ben Elliot

Ben Elliot, and ARDS Grade A racing instructor, says:

"Since using Video VBOX as a training aid I have noticed a big improvement in how quickly my customers learn. I therefore can offer greater value for money as a racing instructor.

My customers receive a copy of their video and data on a DVD and the feedback is extremely positive. The video is high quality and the Circuit Tools software is in my opinion the most user-friendly on the market.

Video VBOX has been 100% reliable and many of my customers go on to buy the system for themselves! I now have two Video VBOX Lite systems complete with OLED Displays."
