​A different way of seeing performance driving.

What if getting faster had less to do with driving harder, and more to do with seeing differently?

For decades, racing drivers have been taught where to brake, where to turn, where to apex and where to get back on the throttle.

But what happens when you change what you look at?

Change Your Vision explores the relationship between vision, perception, prediction and performance behind the wheel.

It isn't a book about driving lines. It isn't another “brake later, turn faster” driving manual. And it isn't a collection of racing secrets.

It is about what happens before those inputs happen.

Where are you looking? What are you seeing? What are you predicting? What information are you processing? And how does all of that influence what the car does next?

Drawing on decades of experience racing cars, motorcycles and Superkarts, Change Your Vision develops a practical framework for deliberately building perception behind the wheel.

At its heart are a handful of ideas that fundamentally changed the way I drive.

Long Vision.
Visual Anchors.
Mental Bandwidth.
Anticipatory Perception.
Prediction.
Load Governance.
Perceptual Authority.
Momentum.

These aren't abstract concepts. They're things you can use. And when the shit gets real, they become weapons.

In Vision in Combat, a sick Porsche 911 RSR engine, an unexpected sprint race and a three-hour endurance race at Kyalami become a real-world laboratory for the ideas developed throughout the book.

A driver swap. A dying engine. Fifty-three cars. Traffic. Overtaking. Defending. Darkness. A dirty windscreen. A disappearing lead. And one very old Yellow Bird that simply refuses to give up. The theory gets tested where theory doesn't matter anymore: on track.

Change Your Vision is about learning to see further, process more, anticipate earlier and create options before the situation forces you to react.

Because speed isn't always about doing more. Sometimes it's about seeing more.

Coming soon from Supersede Control:

CHANGE YOUR VISION
The Perceptual Advantage. See differently. Drive differently.

By Peter Hill

Taking up motor racing can often be an emotional impulse rather than a decision.

The word “decision” carries connotations of consideration, options, and rationality. Although these should precede a move into the sport, I suspect that most of us simply had a dream, and before we knew it, we had a car and a shiny new race helmet.

As the author states, this book wasn’t written to discourage dreams. What it does is reveal the options and the practicalities. It provides food for thought and consideration that will help newcomers to the sport make sensible choices. It could well save you from an expensive mistake.

As Martins states at the end of the book: “Getting into Racing was written to help newcomers understand the realities of motorsport before committing significant money and energy to the sport.”
​
Pierre Martins is the South African racer, test driver, performance evaluator, coach and instructor who wrote the recently reviewed Supersede Control.

As the subtitle informs us, this is a beginner’s guide to circuit racing. It’s a hefty tome of some 395 pages. But as with his previous book, it is easy to read and reference, with wide spacing between sentences and large print, making it easy to absorb the book’s message and ideas.

The book’s primary audience is people contemplating entering motorsport, and I, having been around the track more than few times, found many practical ideas and tips that will be helpful to amateurs already competing.

The book comprises six parts, with a total of 25 chapters. Parts 1 and 2 cover some of the practicalities of costs, time, risks and fitness. Part 3 lays out the various types of events, categories, and track car options.

I found the chapter “Electric Cars & the Future” particularly interesting, revealing the different challenges involved in driving an EV quickly: managing the battery and energy consumption, dealing with the weight, and monitoring battery temperatures. And, questions like: If you intend to drive your EV at a track day, will there be charging infrastructure at the track?

The later sections include: people and relationships, the buy or build question, safety equipment and the mental approach to competition. There’s advice about using your everyday car for track work. There are tips for those who plan to buy a racing car, plus tips around purchasing safety equipment and budgeting for your season.

There was the risk that this could have been very dry reading, but the author has avoided that by interweaving stories of his personal experiences and those of other amateur drivers. As he has raced motorbikes, karts and track cars, he has a wealth of experience and knowledge. He has made mistakes and has seen others make mistakes, and he shares these so that his readers can avoid repeating them.

This book is full of practical, down-to-earth advice. For example, we’ve all been tempted to throw money and time at car upgrades while chasing faster times. Martins doesn’t beat around the bush: “Sometimes the best upgrade is inside the driver’s head. Track time remains one of the best investments you can make.”

As he did in his previous book, the author has provided clear paragraph headings and concise summaries at the end of each section. Black-and-white photos and sketches complement the text. Spending $35 on Getting into Racing will be a sound investment. It could save you many, many times that amount.

The book is printed on demand by INGRAMSPARK in the country of order.

Greetings Pierre,

I’ve been reading Get Into Racing.

The book combines practicality and theory beautifully with progressive storytelling. 

Very insightful for someone  who’s just started out like me.

Regards,
​Aahil.

​Howzit Pierre, 

I buckled down and read your 2nd book this weekend. 

Congratulations on yet another successful one! From beginning to end, you had my full attention and I battled to put the book down and take breaks. 

There is so much for me to relate to in this book. I’ve been involved in racing for years and have never raced in my life before. Everything that you write about is true. Racing is not about the car only, but about the friendships we build through the sport and the enjoyment doing what we like to do. 

While we met in Superkarts, it has always been awesome to keep in touch with you through the years. I will never forget your write up sort of race reports you wrote back in the Superkart days. Man, they were true adventures! Especially the Phakisa and coastal race reports. 

I look forward to your 3rd book. You cannot stop now. 

Cheers, 
Raoul
