Three years as a development driver. Your name isn't on anyone's list.
Team principals don't even look at you.
A development driver watches from the shadows as the stars take the
spotlight.
But while they partied, you studied. Ten thousand simulator laps. You
know what they don't: racing isn't just reflexes. It's
velocity mathematics: speed, distance, time.
Nights spent crunching telemetry and race math while others sleep.
Suddenly Marcus "The Apex" Steele makes his challenge.
Three-time world champion. Huge ego. Even bigger skills. "Beat my
qualifying time at Silverstone, and I'll get you a race seat."
Marcus "The Apex" Steele throws down a public qualifying challenge.
72 hours. One flying lap. One mistake in your velocity calculations,
and you're done.
Everyone expects you to decline.
Dawn at an empty circuit—one flying lap to rewrite your story.
Prove them wrong.

S×T
D = Distance (how far you
travel) S = Speed (how fast you're
going) T = Time (how long it takes)
⚡ CORE FORMULAS
1. Finding Speed
Speed = Distance ÷ Time
Example: If you drive 300 km in 2 hours → Speed = 300 ÷ 2 = 150 km/h
2. Finding Distance
Distance = Speed × Time
Example: If you drive at 180 km/h for 3 hours → Distance = 180 × 3 =
540 km
3. Finding Time
Time = Distance ÷ Speed
Example: If you need to drive 450 km at 150 km/h → Time = 450 ÷ 150
= 3 hours
Tip: Always check your units! Make sure speed, distance, and time are
in compatible units.

PROBLEM:
Marcus's car completes the 800-meter Hangar Straight in 10 seconds.
What is his speed (m/s)?
SOLUTION PROVIDED:
Step 1: Identify what we know
Distance = 800 m
Time = 10 seconds
Step 2: Use the formula Speed = Distance ÷ Time
Speed = 800 ÷ 10 = 80 m/s
✓ ANSWER: Marcus's average speed on the straight is 80 m/s
📊 OBJECTIVE 2: MAGGOTS-BECKETTS SECTOR TIME (INTEL PROVIDED)
Complete worked example for timing a sector.
PROBLEM:
The Maggots-Becketts complex is 600 meters long. Your car averages
50 m/s through this section. Calculate your sector time.
SOLUTION PROVIDED:
Step 1: Identify what we know
Distance = 600 m
Speed = 50 m/s
Step 2: Use the formula Time = Distance ÷ Speed
Time = 600 ÷ 50 = 12 seconds
✓ ANSWER: Sector time is 12 seconds
⚠️ OBJECTIVE 3: COPSE CORNER BRAKING ZONE (PARTIAL INTEL)

⚠️ OBJECTIVE 4: PRACTICE LAP AVERAGE (PARTIAL INTEL)
Finish the calculation.
PROBLEM:
Practice lap: circuit length is 5,900 meters. Your lap time is 118
seconds. What is your average speed (m/s)?
PARTIAL SOLUTION:
Step 1: Identify what we know
Distance = 5,900 m
Time = 118 seconds
Step 2: Use Speed = Distance ÷ Time
Speed = __________ m/s
Average speed (m/s):
🏁 OBJECTIVE 5: PIT LANE COMPLIANCE (YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN)
