"Resounding Success! Best laps (yes, plural!!) were a full 1.5secs faster than the class track record - first time out!"
“Holly hell! This is great!.. I feel like I’m cheating using this. There are trade secrets in the Smart Run Sheet!”
"There is nothing more important than tires. The course is really impressive! Your practical approach makes it easy."
"Wow! I knew this course would be great, but it exceeded my expectations. It’s the practical tools and suggestions that I can actually use at the track that makes this course super valuable."
Tyres Are Your Untapped Superpower...
It doesn’t matter how many years you spend at the track – if you don’t learn how your tyres underlying mechanisms work, your mental models will always be off.
Tyres are a highly complex, non-linear component that, unfortunately for you, are also the most important tuning device on your car.
Tyres are your performance foundation.
If you want to see dramatic improvements in your lap times, then tyres are where you need to start; not suspension, aerodynamics, engine tuning, or even driver coaching.
All of these areas depend on your tyres being in their happy place for you to succeed.
If your tyres are not happy, anything else you do is like building a castle on quicksand. You just wouldn’t.
Simple Measurements Can Give You All You Need
By gathering data like tyre pressures, tyre temperatures, and even driver feedback, you can get more grip, better balance, and clear direction for tuning all the more interesting parts of your car.
Even better, once you understand your tyres, you’ll be able to make confident setup decisions about how you can get more grip from any tyres, on any track, and in any weather.
How Do You Learn The Secrets To Better Tyre Performance?
Well, you can spend countless hours pouring over the dense - and remarkably pricy - engineering texts, and then spend a few years trying to apply the theories in practice.
That’s what I did. It was undeniably effective – the end result is incredibly worthwhile – but the journey was long, arduous and extremely expensive.
I want to help you learn everything you need to know about how to maximise your tyres, faster and more effectively.
Over a year, I distilled all that knowledge and experience into a comprehensive online course.
I call it...

Frequently Asked Questions
My estimation is that you need to allocate 2-3 hours per week for the course, so somewhere between 8 and 12 hours in total.
This can be all on your own schedule. You also get access way past the live programme to all the self paced lessons, the workshop recordings and the private community for support and advice.
Any questions on timing please email Samir (hello @yourdatadriven.com) to get clarification on this.
✔️Experienced track day / HPDE drivers – who are looking to level up their pace.
✔️Mechanics – responsible for set up and who want to understand tyres once and for all.
✔️Coaches and Instructors – who want to know the physics behind their good advice.
✔️Junior engineers – who want to impress their team by bring professional insights and approaches to tune the most important component on their car.
❌ People who intentionally race on dirt or loose surfaces.
❌ Pure sim racers – there is stuff here for you but this is aimed at real world application.
❌ Tyre engineers – several have been kind enough to review the course, all learnt something, but there is less here for you than for others.
Worried? Just ask Samir, or remember, their is a no questions asked money back guarantee.
The upgrade cost will be the difference between what you paid originally and the current FULL cost of the Champion package. Any discounts cannot be applied to upgrades.
The first major upgrade to the Smart Run Sheet was to incorporate unit switching.
I do appreciate it is an international wrinkle and, as with other products I’ve made, let me know where needs improvement and I’ll get it done.
Master Your Tyres includes a step-by-step process you can easily follow, along with why it works.
If there is something you feel could be explained better, let me know. This is a complex topic and its important to me that you're clear on everything covered.
Tyres are an incredibly complex component that works in often counter intuitive and strange ways. Even if you have spent years at the track, there are mechanisms that can only be understood if you know how all the pieces of the puzzle work together. This “book knowledge” is often very hard to work through, and some books disagree…
In Master Your Tyres I’ve tried to explain things from the perspective of how you can apply the knowledge in practise. This focuses on the amateur paddock and filters out the fluff.
Furthermore, for one reviewer “..the Smart Run Sheet justified the price of entry alone!” Because this tool bakes in the theory to help you interpret your numbers more easily and quickly in the field.
If you have any specific concerns reach out on email but on both the driving and technical side, I expect you’ll get a lot out of this course.
When it was done in draft I then gave access to 15 professional engineers, drivers and coaches (many from the podcast) to peer review and find any issues. They were from F1, WEC, Rally, HPDE and mainstream automotive.
As you can imagine, they had a raft of feedback and suggestions! I assimilated all this and re-worked and improved all the lesson material - either correcting mistakes or making things more understandable.
Rest assured, this material has now been well battle tested - evidenced by the amazing student feedback and results.
Tyres are the foundation for everything you do on track – be that driving or setup. Use the knowledge and tools on this course to get them in their happy place, then you don’t have to worry about them any more…
The Master [of] Your Tyres is more apt for how I know you’ll feel by completion =)
The discount is intended for full-time or part-time students. To receive a unique coupon code, email [email protected] with proof of enrolment.
This can be useful to claim reimbursement from your employer (or sponsor!), to share on social media or print out and hang on the wall.
The processes are then about teaching you how to learn about your individual tyre characteristics so you can optimise them for your car on any track.
If life events mean you’re really just not going to be able to find the time, reach out on email and let me know the situation.
Motorsports is expensive in any country, and most individuals will recoup the value of the course in one event. If your circumstances are unique, please reach out and I will help if I can.
The Smart Run Sheet is the hidden gem here. You’ll soon get comfortable with using this tool for the practises so you’re confident to use it at your very next test.
This gives you the benefit of well structured lessons, with closed captions built in. It also gives me the opportunity to edit, correct and improve the lessons more easily in future.
At times the narration could sound better if it was more natural, but I do feel the benefits you get as a result are worth it. Take a listen to the sample lesson on this page to make sure you agree.
Saying that there is nothing stopping you getting off on the right foot. From a technical perspective everything is beginner friendly, you might just wonder why we’re bothering to get this deep into it! – to gain seconds of lap time performance and better tyre life is the answer!
Driving techniques, tyre mechanics, general processes, and guidance for varying conditions are all areas that I believe would be of considerable value to you.
Undeniably, there are some elements that may be less directly applicable. In such cases, a bit of creative adaptation may be required. For instance, tyre pressures may not fluctuate as significantly, but employing a pressure sweep technique over multiple runs instead of laps can still deliver the same level of setup insights.
And remember, we offer a 14-day no-questions-asked money-back guarantee. If you decide to sign up and realize that it's not adding value, rest assured, I can arrange a refund without any complications.
