Not only do you have to sell to teams or potential sponsors but you have to have the people skills that will allow you to win people over in your sport. That is kind of selling also.

Here is a bit of an in-car rant for you. Whilst at a test last week I was reminded of something that many of us do but in doing so we kill our dreams - Procrastination. We are persistent offenders of putting things off, yet in doing so we are robbing ourselves of the small window of time we have to get shit done. You know all too well that if you are to achieve your goals and dreams in life then y...

If you want to make a career in Motorsport, as a driver, then you need to see things for how they are. Plus what you need if you are to make it nowadays.

During a season it is far too easy to let your guard down, to lose your edge and to under perform. In this podcast Enzo teaches you how to restart your season, to re-energize it and get yourself back on track so you race as you did at the beginning of the season.

There are traits of drivers who succeed, these are Enzo's favourite.
