Course Outline

Module 1: Prioritize the work before you wrench

Turn ordinary shop skill into race-car service judgment by ranking risk, schedule pressure, and driver confidence.

Module 2: Build records and checklists that catch failures

Create the paperwork system that prevents forgotten details, unclear ownership, and lost component history.

Module 3: Inspect the parts that can end the day

Focus inspection time on life-or-death components, highly stressed systems, fasteners, and early signs of failure.

Module 4: Diagnose track symptoms into mechanical hypotheses

Translate driver feedback and simple data traces into testable mechanical causes without confusing setup tuning with repair.

Module 5: Prove repairs and changes with testing

Use reversible tests, low-cost shakedowns, and controlled brake or systems checks to validate the car before race pace.

Module 6: Service each system by evidence

Use symptoms, inspection results, and test outcomes to guide service across tires, brakes, suspension, powertrain, cooling, and driveline.

Module 7: Manage the trackside work window

Make disciplined repair, adjustment, and stop/go decisions when time is short and the car has to go back out safely.
