Join Matt Farah as he takes on Laguna Seca for the first time in an EXR LV02 race car. This video showcases a unique test day experience where Matt, an amateur driver, collaborates with professional racer Alex Premat to leverage data analysis for improving lap times.

After an initial session, Matt's best lap was 1:45.27. With guidance from Alex and a detailed review of telemetry data, Matt identifies key areas for improvement, particularly in braking zones and cornering technique. The data reveals Alex's ability to brake significantly later and carry more speed through corners, especially in turns 1, 4, 5, 6, and 9, often utilizing more of the track's curbing.

In his second session, Matt applies the learned insights, resulting in a faster lap time of 1:44.41. While still four seconds off Alex Premat's blistering 1:39.56, this demonstrates the power of data-driven coaching in enhancing driver performance and building confidence on unfamiliar tracks.

The EXR LV02 is a lightweight (1800 lbs wet), tube-chassis race car, powered by a 240 hp Renault Sport 4-cylinder engine, featuring a Sadev 6-speed sequential gearbox and Yokohama DOT road tires, offering a forgiving yet exhilarating driving experience.
