\u201cWhat drives me? What am I passionate about? Helping others perform better. Whether you\u2019re an elite-level professional race driver, a car club DE or track-day driver, a club racer, motorcycle racer, drifter, rally driver, road racer, oval racer, or you come from any walk of life, I love to help.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve driven and raced a lot of cars through the years. When I was a kid, my dream was to race Indy cars. While I never raced a well-funded Indy car, through a lot of hard work, sacrifice, and commitment to learning to be better, I did achieve my goal. And I learned a ton from racing with the likes of Michael Andretti, Al Unser Jr., Nigel Mansell, Rick Mears, Bobby Rahal, Jimmy Vasser, Paul Tracy, and Emerson Fittipaldi. Okay, I didn\u2019t win against those guys, but I observed things that very few have a had a chance to, just by being there. I learned lessons that could only have been learned by being there.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose few years of struggling to get results in a couple-of-generations-old Indy car taught me a lot:
\u2022 How to get the best performance out of myself through the use of my mind.
\u2022 What works and what doesn\u2019t work in the world of motorsport sponsorship\/marketing.
\u2022 How to get the best out of the people around me, especially my team.
\u2022 What a driver needs to do to get the very last ounce out of a car.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy time in Indy cars led to being hired to drive sports cars. I drove some of the coolest prototype and GT sports cars, like the Ferrari 333SP and the factory BMW M3. I won the 1998 United State Road Racing Championship (the precursor to Grand-Am), and the 2003 Daytona 24-Hour race in SRP-II. And yes, I was getting paid to drive race cars!<\/p>\n
\u201cWriting about driving has become a passion of mine. I learn so much from it. Having an experience as a driver or a coach, then trying to figure out how to explain things in writing has been enlightening. Whether it\u2019s my Speed Secrets books, a training resources, or a driving tip article, I enjoy the challenge of finding the right way to put into words what we so often feel through the seat of our pants.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I can\u2019t be at the track coaching or driving, I like to be talking about driving. The common denominator is that it\u2019s all about learning to drive or instruct better. Getting together with other people who have a passion for driving, conducting seminars and workshops, or presenting a keynote talk \u2013 that\u2019s fun. And I guess I must be okay at it because people and groups keep asking me back.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m a pretty lucky guy to have found my passion, and be able to share with others what I do best.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2013 Ross Bentley<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|on|on” admin_label=”Text – Mobile” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_line_height=”1.4em” background_enable_color=”off” custom_padding=”10px|10px|10px|10px|true|true” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n \u201cWhat drives me?
