2. Taking Natural Skill & Talent to the NEXT LEVEL
High performance drivers and jet fighter pilots have much in common. Both chosen disciplines require superior eye-hand
coordination, refined motor skills, sound reflexes, discipline, foresight, judgment, and the ability to absorb, analyze then
quickly process information from multiple sources while making time-critical decisions.
So, it’s no coincidence that mutual performance references are commonly used when comparing these two worlds. The
mechanics of both disciplines are nearly identical. It’s all about. . .
- Visualizing, entering, pursuing, and exiting high-G turn circles
- Knowing, sensing, and maximizing your vehicle's performance
- Managing speed versus position and properly trading one for the other
- Making the proper control inputs to place your vehicle where it needs to be
The Value of Seat Time
Whether in combat flying or high performance driving, there’s a wisdom that stands the test of time: Seat Time is Seat
Time. All of it is VALUABLE, and it's up to the Pilot or Driver to EXTRACT that VALUE.
Because the consequences are higher in real life, we might assume the challenge and skill demand is higher than what we
will experience with a professional level simulator. But, that is not the case. Consequences still exist in the sim-world.
The biggest difference is the Actual Cost of Advancing Skill Level while Enhancing Race Craft Knowledge.
Using RaceCraft 1’s (RC-ONE) proven format, you can analyze any occurrence, its cause and remedy, then tackle that
situation over and over until you get it right, until your Best Response becomes Second Nature.
Try that on track without breaking the bank!

3. The Best Bang for the Buck
FACT: A FULL YEAR of the RC-ONE/PitFit Program Costs Far Less than a Set of IZOD IndyCar Tires or a Single
Test Day in a Star Mazda or Lights Car! Conveniently located within the PitFit Complex, RC-One, featuring professional
grade PCS Simulators, is readily accessible to driver and crew when you are not on the road competing. The combination
of Physical Endurance Training with Mental Acuity Development is an unbeatable team - it’s all about gaining that
COMPETITIVE EDGE!
Cost-Effective with Superior ROI: With its inherent fuel, maintenance and operating costs, risk of damage and injury,
dependence upon fair weather and travel time, real-world track days have a heavy impact on any team budget. And, in
today’s sport of auto racing, seat time is a given necessity if you’re going to stay competitive with the rest of the racing
world. RC-ONE can show you how to multiply your effective testing and training program time by tenfold without
sacrificing your existing on-track budget.
Knowledge & Experience Shape Judgment
There’s an old Aviation Saying that bears repeating . . . "A superior pilot uses Superior Judgment to avoid situations
which demand the use of Superior Flying Skills."
One of the many attributes of the RC-ONE Program is to study, rehearse and practice race day strategies. How can this
activity benefit you – here’s just one example.
Use your Customized Program to simulate pit stops under green, under yellow, entering and exiting the pits on concrete
or asphalt surfaces, shod with soft or hard compound tires, under the various pit road speed limits and track configurations
you compete upon – and, all the while eliminating wear and tear on equipment, driver or crew.
Let us put the RaceCraft 1 Advantage to work for you!
