What Went Down at Thames Motorsport Academy in February 2023?

Curious about what we posted in February? You’re in the right spot. We rolled out a mix of race updates, training tips, and community stories that kept our members buzzing all month long.

First up, we kicked off the month with a behind‑the‑scenes look at the Winter Racing Series. Our photographers captured the action from the wet track, and we broke down the top three overtakes in a quick video recap. If you missed it, the video still lives on our YouTube channel and gives a solid feel for how drivers adapt when the weather turns nasty.

Driver‑Training Highlights

We also launched a new workshop called Cold‑Weather Car Control. It focused on braking techniques, throttle control, and tire‑temperature management when the air is crisp. Attendees walked away with a printable cheat sheet that we shared as a free PDF download. The feedback was clear: real‑world drills helped drivers feel more confident on slippery surfaces.

Alongside the workshop, our blog posted a “Five‑Tip Checklist” for staying safe during weekend track days in February. The checklist covered everything from proper layering for warmth to checking battery health before you fire up the engine. Readers loved the simple bullet points, and many said they’d print it out for the garage.

Community Spotlights and Upcoming Events

We gave a shout‑out to Emma Hughes, a student who recently nailed her first podium finish in the junior class. Her story highlighted how consistent practice, the right coaching, and a solid data‑logging setup can push performance up fast. Emma’s interview included a quick rundown of the telemetry tools she uses, which sparked a lot of questions in the comments section.

Looking ahead, February also saw us announce the spring‑time “Track Day Open‑Invite” scheduled for early May. The post listed the date, venue, and how to sign up. It was a straightforward call‑to‑action that attracted over a hundred sign‑ups in the first week.

Even though the month wrapped up with fewer posts than usual, the content we did share was all about practical value – from on‑track tips to real‑world success stories. If you missed any of the posts, you can still find them in our archive or grab the PDFs from the resources page.

How do motorcycle racers lean so far without tipping over?

Motorcycle racers are able to lean so far without tipping over through a combination of skill and physics. When riders lean, they use their body weight to shift the center of gravity and make the bike more stable. The more a bike is leaned, the greater the centrifugal force acting on the bike and its rider, which keeps them from tipping over. Additionally, racers must maintain proper traction between their tires and the track, as well as make sure there are no bumps or holes in the track. By mastering these skills, racers are able to stay upright while leaning as far as possible.
