In 2018, the Winfield Racing School launched its prestigious Volant Winfield program. Eighteen young karting drivers, aged 14 to 18 and from 9 nationalities, have three days to impress and secure a spot in the French F4 Championship.
The challenge is immense: mastering a single-seater car, performing under the watchful eye of coaches, while managing an environment filled with stress, emotions, and media pressure. Each driver has a different temperament and reacts to the stakes in their own way. The key question arises: how can they be given the means to remain clear-headed, focused, and performant on track in such a short time?
Winfield Racing School engages TOP Consulting and Laurent Sauriat to introduce drivers to Potential Optimization Techniques® (TOP®). The support is based on four main pillars of the method:
Controlled breathing and restorative relaxations to ease tension and maintain emotional control before hitting the track.
Mental Projection of Success and Mental Rehearsal to visualize trajectories, ingrain automatic behaviors, and maintain focus despite pressure.
Relaxation imagery and recovery routines to recharge batteries after intense days and preserve clarity of mind.
Mental pre-activation and Positive Reinforcement to mobilize energy at the start and consolidate confidence throughout the program.
In just three days, the 18 young pilots discovered a customizable and operational mental toolkit.
This experience proves that mental strength is not supplementary, but rather a decisive factor in motorsport performance.
Thank you, Laurent! Thank you to TOP®!
