René Villeneuve’s Coaching Program

R-Speed Coaching provides a customized car racing coaching program tailored to each client, whether it is your first time on a racetrack or you have been racing for years and want to find a couple of tenths on your lap time. With 30 years of performance driving, professional racing, instructing, and coaching, René has taught thousands of students from every walk of life to perform and accelerate on the racetrack.  

Choose your level, and contact René to get started.  

Novice

René will create a program to overcome any inhibitions and get you comfortable on track quickly. Once youre comfortable, its time to learn the fundamentals of vehicle dynamics, driving line, braking, and the most critical aspect of driving: vision. Then, you will work putting theory into practice lap after lap. You wont believe how quickly you can improve. 

Intermediate

Now that you have some seat time, you will want to drop those lap times, or it may be time to enter your first amateur or club race. Now is the right time to get an experts opinion and some pro-racer tips. René will introduce a new learning tool, video, and data review into your program. This will heighten the learning experience and add an essential ingredient for a successful first race weekend or a massive leap up the timing sheet. 

Expert

Everybody should have a coach. René can provide a full-service race weekend coaching plan that includes corner observation, video/data review, radio coaching, and spotting. These are all tools that the pros use. IndyCar, NASCAR, and IMSA drivers use coaches and spotters to keep them informed and safe on track. This gives the driver real-time information to help them stay relaxed and focused. That means more focus and energy on driving. 

Professional

You could use a coach with experience and genuine insight. Sure, any coach can go through data and tell you to hit the brake later, but you may need a coach with a more cerebral approach—a coach who knows how you tick. René has a vast amount of experience on every level, and that experience provides more profound insight than a typical coach. Looking after the immense confidence that a driver needs without bravado should be a job for your racing coach. René will be there 120% of the way, taking your racing to a level you didnt even know existed.
