In this episode, Kev and Tracey welcomed Jack Ashton—racing driver, coach, and sim racing enthusiast—for a chat about confidence behind the wheel, learning from mistakes, and the surprising parallels between motorsport and everyday driving.

We chat about:

* How early passion, family support, and sim racing shaped Jack’s journey from a learner driver to a championship winner* The importance of managing nerves, building confidence through experience, and bouncing back from mistakes* The growing role of technology and sim racing in both motorsport and everyday driver training

While listening to this episode, ask yourself:

* How do you respond to mistakes or setbacks when driving?* What role does your mindset play in your driving experience—whether that’s on the road or in a simulated environment?* How could practicing focus and awareness help you become a more confident driver?
