Here's the second video from the Skip Barber Advanced Formula Car course at COTA. This lap was from the passing exercises on day two.
It was super cold that morning. There was frost on the track, so we switched to wet tires because the surface was still slick.
That changed everything.
You cannot drive the same way when the conditions change.
You have to calm down, pay attention, and adjust fast.
That was the lesson for me.
Whether it is on a track, in leadership, or in cybersecurity, trying to force the original plan usually does not end well.
The better move is to read the conditions for what they are and adapt early.
Have you ever had a situation where the conditions changed fast and you had to adjust in real time?
