Formula Fitness at Autosport International PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 08 January 2008
The UK’s number 1 driver training company will for the first time exhibit at the World’s number 1 racing car show when it takes a stand at Autosport International 2008 at Birmingham’s NEC next week.  The Oxford-based company who boasts Jenson Button, Gianmaria Bruni, Guy Smith, Mike Conway, James Walker, Salvador Duran, Will Power and Mark Blundell among its past and present drivers will be located on Stand number 8203 in Hall 8

Company Director and Chief Trainer Stewart Wild will be present all four days offering advice and guidance to respective clients and will be happy to answer questions: “The Autosport Show is widely regarded as the Number 1 motor racing exhibition in the world.  It attracts major players from around the world, including drivers from all forms of motorsport.  For many years I’ve been surprised how few drivers take training seriously, and we felt it was time to take Formula Fitness to the people to show them what can be achieved.”

Formula Fitness has been training more racing drivers than any other company in the UK for the past decade.  The company looks after drivers at all levels, training and educating them to ultimately improve their performance and giving them the winning edge.

The company is conveniently based at the University Sports Complex in Oxford. Formula Fitness offers a comprehensive range of Human Performance Services, together with various associated services from some of the countries finest professionals.

A tailored fitness programme will work the key areas such as strength, endurance and CV but also go beyond these basics.  This is where Formula Fitness differs from other training providers.  Formula Fitness trainers work the additional critical aspects of motor skills (speed, agility, balance, reaction time and dexterity) as well as focusing on neck training, flexibility and psychology.

 

 

 

After assessing a driver’s fitness levels they design a specific fitness programme tailored to their needs and work with the driver one to one at the Oxford based facility to maximise their results.  In addition, they provide them with a programme to follow at their home-based gym.

 

They encourage at least four sessions per week to get the most out of the programme and in the off-season they also arrange both warm weather and altitude training camps.  All training is geared towards the start of the season and drivers having that winning edge.

 

Race Care, specific to Motorsport, is about optimising driver performance. It allows the driver to concentrate solely on what is needed on the track, knowing that all other aspects have been taken care of.  It will help them improve their psychological wellbeing, thus boosting overall performance.

Formula Fitness has provided race care for drivers in F1, GP2, WSR, A1GP, F3000, British F3, Macau F3, Euro and British Renault, BTCC, Formula BMW and Endurance racing at Le Mans, Spa, Daytona, Sebring and Bathurst.

Their tried and tested race care includes full medical support for any minor problems, pre-race and post-race nutrition advice and preparation, controlled hydration, driver warm-up – pre-race, mobility/ flexibility/ stretching, in car visualization and preparation prior to qualifying and races, specialised cooling jackets and hydration for the grid, driver cool down – post-race massage and debriefing.

“Formula Fitness provides an exceptional all round service to both teams and drivers, said Christian Horner, Team Principal, Redbull Racing F1. Adding; “With standards of driver preparation ever increasing, Formula Fitness provides a detailed and concise approach which is reflected within the results that their drivers achieve".

 

Gianmaria Bruni concluded; “Formula Fitness are quite simply the best trainers I have come across.”
