I LIKE this. ChampCar Endurance Series is in a good place right now in the "budget endurance racing" scene, with good competition, reasonable cost, good tracks, good officiating... overall, I think it has hit a sweet spot for club racers. And BFG... well, you know that I've been doing some work for them (wrote a Performance Driver's Guide that you can download for free at https://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/auto/learn/performance-driving-guide). I have also driven 3 races (a total of about 26 hours) on the Rival + tire, and I'm super impressed with it. In fact, I'm going to drive the VIR ChampCar race the first weekend in August, too (if you're planning to be there, say hello).

So, big congrats to ChampCar Endurance Series and BFGoodrich Tires!

ChampCar Endurance Series names BFGoodrich Tires as its official tire partner, but what does that mean for competitors? For starters, rebates toward select BFGoodrich tires.

In addition to the rebate program, ChampCar racers also receive special access at select races to BFGoodrich resources like its recently launched BFGoodrich Performance Driving Guide, co-authored by brand ambassador Ross Bentley.

Likewise, BFGoodrich’s “Team T/A,” which originally traveled to venues across the country supporting racers with driving advice, mechanical tips and tire support throughout the 1970s and 1980s, marks its return, this time consisting of a dedicated ChampCar effort piloted by both BFGoodrich employees and “featured guest drivers.”

Back in April, at the ChampCar race at Daytona, we were guest drivers for BFGoodrich, assisting the team in finishing in 16th place out of a field of 100 entries.

“Cementing this relationship with ChampCar is the latest step in bringing BFGoodrich’s ultra-high performance efforts back to the forefront,” said T.J. Dennis, BFGoodrich Ultra-High Performance (UHP) Brand Manager. “This partnership is mutually beneficial for each brand, and we’re eager to help ChampCar racers reach another level of performance.”

BFGoodrich also notes that the g-Force Rival+, now listed on n ChampCar’s “whitelist” of approved tires, is currently available in 14 sizes, ranging from 205/50R15 to 305/30R19.

“I’m excited to welcome BFGoodrich as a Series Partner of the ChampCar Endurance Series,” said Mike Chisek, President and CEO of ChampCar. “It’s great to see the grassroots support BFGoodrich has for road racing, and their new g-Force Rival+ tire is proving to be a great choice for our endurance road racing teams.”

You know how I always say that the key to being really fast is the "Timing and rate of release of the brakes"? Well, except in F1. Ugh! https://www.instagram.com/p/DaXCYAToIFw/

Just a heads-up — registration for the Cornering Masterclass closes in 6 days, at midnight on July 4th. And I’ve had to close registration early on past webinars because they sold out before the deadline.

If you've been on the fence, here's a quick summary of what you get for $150:
• Session 1 (July 6): Cornering principles, prioritizing corners, reading a track
• Session 2 (July 8): Driving the ideal line, adapting to different cars, learning a track fast
• Full recordings and all materials — downloadable, yours forever
• Live Q&A both nights (5:30pm PST / 8:30pm EST)

Can't make it live? Still register — you'll get everything sent to you.

Fast corners don't require more bravery. They require a better strategy.

One of the most common traps drivers fall into is thinking fast corners are a mental challenge to push through. They're not — they're a technique challenge to solve.

In the Cornering Masterclass (July 6 & 8), I’ll show you:
• What really determines your speed in high-speed corners
• How to prioritize corners to build a faster lap (not just individual corners)
• When to sacrifice one section of track to gain more somewhere else
• How to put braking, cornering, and acceleration together to minimize lap times

This is the kind of deep understanding that makes you not just faster — but more consistent, and safer.

2 sessions. Live Q&A. Recordings included. $150. Deadline: July 4th at midnight (limited spots).

Why do you drive the line you drive?

Go ahead — answer it honestly.

If your answer is "because that's what I was taught" or "because it seems right"... that's exactly why you should join the Cornering Masterclass on July 6th & 8th.

Understanding the principles behind the ideal line is what separates drivers who keep improving from those who plateau. It's what lets F1 and IndyCar drivers get up to speed in just a handful of laps. And it's what you'll walk away with after these two sessions.
• It's not about being braver in fast corners.
• It's not just about braking later.
• It's about reading the track and applying a smarter approach.

Register before July 4th midnight — and get everything: live sessions, recordings, and all resources.
