Track days have a way of exposing the gap between confidence and ability — his first at COTA in 2015 ended with a stock WRX and a long list of needed changes. That experience turned into years of focused work on chassis dynamics: corner weights, spring rates, damper tuning, alignment geometry. SCCA competition license holder. He has built multiple track cars from stock configuration and spent considerable time sorting setups for other drivers. Suspension tuning is a more technical discipline than most street drivers realise — the difference between a car that responds predictably at the limit and one that doesn't comes down to details most owners never touch. Coverage here focuses on handling behaviour, tyre selection, and chassis setup.
