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.

Getting Into Circuit RacingMy next publication is currently in development. Getting Into Racing is a practical beginner's guide aimed at aspiring racers, track day enthusiasts, and anyone who has ever wondered what it really takes to get involved in motorsport. Most people see the exciting side of racing. The speed. The competition. The trophies. The glory. What they don't always see are the realities behind the scenes. The costs. The time commitment. The risks. The politics. The logistics. The countless decisions that determine whether a newcomer's racing journey becomes a long-term passion or a short-lived and expensive experiment. Drawing on decades of experience in motorcycles, Superkarts, circuit racing, track days and motorsport culture, this book explores the questions every aspiring racer should ask before spending money on race cars, safety equipment and race entries. Topics include: • Can you actually afford racing? • Choosing the right racing category • Karting, single seaters, tin tops and sports racers • Track days, time trials and driver education • Sponsorship realities • Buying versus building a race car • Safety equipment and personal preparation • Racing culture and paddock politics • The importance of track support • Managing expectations during your first year in motorsport Written in the same straightforward "Track English" style found in Supersede Control, Getting Into Racing is not a technical handbook. It is a reality check. Because getting into racing is not an event. It's the start of a journey. Paperback - Gloss Laminate 408 Pages Perfect Bound Black & White Text White Bond Paper 6 x 9" / 228 x 152mm Expected release: July 2026. - Pierre Martins |
