In short, engaging John Bowe as your Coach you could expect to complete your driving sessions, not only faster around Bathurst but also safer, more consistent, and more confident, with better tools for long-term improvement.
John Bowe (‘JB’) is the only driver to have won both the Bathurst 1000 and the Bathurst 12 Hour Race on multiple occasions. JB is the only driver to win national titles in four different categories and has arguably driven more competition laps at Bathurst than any competitor including 27 starts in the Bathurst 1000.
JB has experience in a range of facets and can pass on his experience in areas that best meet your needs. The objectives and expected improvements usually fall into a mix of technical driving skills, mental approach, and race craft. Here’s a list of some of the key areas you could focus on:
1. Track Knowledge & Line Optimization
