    Awesome video! Looked a lot of fun to make and the cinematography is spot on! I used to be really nervous with driving after covid too but found over the last year doing increasingly longer drives along routes I'm fairly familiar with helped massively! Start with drives of an hour or so, and then gradually increase the distance as you get confident. Plan out your routes in advance with multiple stops you can do if you need a break, and try to do the drives during better weather conditions and times of day as well! Even bringing a more confident passenger who can help is really useful to gain confidence when you start out building confidence! I still do feel a bit nervous with driving, but am now way more confident with driving, especially with distance and unfamiliar roads, and have now done several 3 hour each way drives on my own! Hope you find this of help!

    I love where you are taking your channel! I know you shared that you are "not built for speed" but the average Formula One driver has a BPM of 140 on the long straightaways and nearly 180BPM in the high speed curves. Your starting rate at 145 was right on the mark. High performance driving requires an excellent fitness level. Note- a slight degree of nausea is not unusual in the passenger seat of new rally car navigators. Very similar to sea sickness or air sickness due to the shaking of the inner ear. I think you did fantastic!

    When I saw the thumbnail, I kinda got my hopes up that in the near future, there might be a Drivetribe Collab with you racing your brother's Mini on a track with Izzy in her Mini.
    It is clear that this is not on the cards, but maybe Jack and Izzy could be talked into having a friendly race? (Ooh... Relay racing, Izzy and Richard Vs Jack and James!)
    Seriously though, props to you. I know a few people who passed their test just before the lockdowns and were very apprehensive about getting behind the wheel after. My advice to each of them was to get in contact with their driving instructors, and ask to be booked in for a couple of refresher lessons. It can make a world of difference being back in the comfort of a dual controlled car with your instructor, just to help her your confidence back.
    I don't think enough people realise that you can continue having lessons after you pass your test. So on the off chance any nervous drivers out there read this comment, the rest of this is for you:
    There is nothing wrong with getting additional lessons.
    If you've got your license but are apprehensive about your first time on a motorway (as an example), call your instructor and ask if they will give you a lesson on a local motorway. (There is a scheme called PassPlus which was about giving newly passed drivers a few extra lessons and would include motorway driving. Some insurers offered a discount on coverage for people that sat a PassPlus course, I'm not sure if any still do).
    If you struggle with any part of your driving, don't be embarrassed about contacting your driving instructor and asking for lessons that will help your confidence in those areas. The extra lessons can help improve your confidence and reduce your anxiety. The less anxious you are behind the wheel, the safer your driving will be, and being a safer driver is absolutely worth the cost of a few extra lessons.
    (If you are unfortunate to have had an instructor you didn't really get along with and don't want to have extra lessons from them, call other instructors. You don't have to go back to the instructor you passed your test with.)

    I love the idea that people can't make decisions at 135mph. People who race have the opposite issue ... when you come off track everything seems to be going SO SLOW! It's one of the reasons pit lane speed limits are so harshly controlled ... people come off the track and drive faster than is safe but they just can't tell because their brain is calibrated for on-track speeds. Then there is F1 where you have to react multiple times every corner to keep from crashing while going 135mph.

  • @EXG21

    You have James Mays way of thinking, cars designed for tracks give up their smooth ride abilities for everyday usage. "They ruin the ride for 90 percent of people just catering for 10 percent of the people who will actually use them on the track." I think the same. P.S. Drivers don't have time to think, they learn to just do, muscle memory, since thinking takes time and that time will take you straight to the scene of the accident.

    It seems to me that your biggest problem is that you don't have enough experience driving different cars. The more experience you have driving different cars the more adaptable you are as a driver. Trying to drive a track spec car with limited experience is very difficult so you did very well. You just need to exploit your motoring connections to get behind the wheel of more cars!
