Coaches
The Ignite GP coaching team
At the child's
eye level.
Ignite coaches are chosen for how they teach, not only for how they drove. Confident, precise, encouraging — and never arrogant, never childish, never too technical for a beginner or too simple for a racer.

How we coach
Specificity creates credibility.
- One objective per session, agreed before the engine starts
- Short runs with specific instructions — not forty laps of hoping
- Observation from the corner that matters, not the pit wall
- Onboard footage and the speed trace reviewed between runs
- One change at a time, checked in the next trace
- Written feedback to the family the same day
- Development Score updated after every block of sessions
