David Alstadter with his F430 Spider at Spa Francorchamps, home of the Belgian GP.
Combining art and science in high performance driver training–in a Ferrari 430 Spider
By David Alstadter
David Alstadter has been there and done that. Not long ago he raced and restored cars. Not just any cars, but Porsches, Ferraris and BMWs. No slouch, Alstadter won both the Los Angeles and San Diego regional SCCA class championships. So it was with some surprise that we found Alstadter so impressed with a recent driving training course in Great Britain. The fact that his normal mode of transportation is a Ferrari 430 Spider added to the interest quotient. Alstadter wanted to drive his Ferrari to the great circuits of Europe and participate in track events, hence the need to update his skills. There are no disclaimers here, just sheer enthusiasm. (Ed.)
Think you can drive really well? So do I… or I did… or I do now. With my experience, what could I learn or gain from driver training? A lot!
