About Track Manual

We built Track Manual to make track racing more accessible to all. When we first started going to the track, we were intimidated by how much we didn't know and we didn't really have anyone to guide our way. There were a ton of information scattered online, but it was hard to sift through them as total newbies.

But over time, as we got a bit more experienced, we realized that getting onto the track doesn't have to be that hard. There are many assumptions out there, like you need an expensive sports car, tracking is unsafe, and it costs a lot of money. Well, let’s agree it is not the cheapest hobby.

Through Track Manual, we want to help people interested in motorsport to get into the sport in an accessible way, and through the process, build a community of passionate drivers who help each other succeed.

Learning road racing shouldn’t be exclusive. Tracking your car can be and should be safe. You can start at any age, and unlike many other sports, you can keep going well into your later years.

Kent M (@the.hideo)

Favorite car: RX-7 FD

Bio: Kent is currently based in SF, CA. A JDM kid from the beginning, yet has developed an infatuation with cars with an engine in the wrong spot. Got into track driving after years of Gran Turismo and wants to help others get involved in motorsport.

Michael D (@igsdrive)

Track car: 2017 SS 1LE

Favorite car: Vantage GT

Bio: Michael was raised in Calgary. His first time drifting was on a snowmobile. He’s known for his bad luck with beemers - his 228i met its end at the hands of a drug addict, his F80 M3 (pictured above) smashed into a wall at Sonoma, and his E46 M3 was about as reliable as … a high mileage BMW.
