5 Everyday Driving Tips from a Porsche Carrera Cup Racecar Driver

As engines roar and tires screech across the track, the Porsche Carrera Cup North America continues to captivate racing enthusiasts worldwide. The growth of motorsports culture and the excitement surrounding the professionals behind the wheel have soared, fueled by popular television programs, cutting-edge technology, and intense team rivalries.

This year, the momentum of the Carrera Cup teams is powered by ExxonMobil and its Synergy Supreme+ premium gasoline, which serves as the official fuel of the series. Whether it's driving high-performance cars on speedways or keeping everyday vehicles running smoothly, Synergy Supreme+ gasoline helps keep engines three times cleaner, providing better gas mileage.*

The keys to both performance and safety on the road are universal—whether you're a professional racecar driver or an everyday commuter. Here are five expert tips from Porsche Carrera Cup North America Championship leader, Loek Hartog, to help improve your driving experience:

Limit distractions: Keeping a calm and focused environment inside your car helps ensure stability on the road. While professional drivers may do breathing exercises to stay composed, everyday drivers should avoid distractions like loud music or mobile phones to maintain concentration and achieve a smooth driving experience.

Stay mentally sharp: Driving is both a physical and mental challenge. Professional drivers rely on communication with their teams to stay alert and engaged during races. Similarly, for long-distance trips, it's important to take breaks, stay hydrated, and avoid heavy foods that can cause drowsiness to maintain focus.

Fuel up smarter: To get the best performance from your vehicle, always use high-quality fuel. On the track, racers rely on Synergy Supreme+ premium gasoline, and you can too. By using the Exxon Mobil Rewards+ app, you can find the nearest Exxon or Mobil station and earn points every time you fill up.

Plan your route ahead: Just like racecar drivers carefully prepare for each race by studying the track, planning your route in advance can provide an advantage. Knowing your route ahead of time reduces reliance on GPS, helping you stay focused and prepared for any potential road hazards.

Drive defensively: Professional drivers avoid unnecessary lane changes and check their blind spots to stay safe, and everyday drivers can benefit from the same habits. By scanning the road ahead (10-15 seconds) and preparing for potential hazards, defensive driving ensures a safer journey on and off the track.

Tips and practices such as these are what make a sport as exhilarating and exciting as motorsport racing possible. But these tips don't just apply to the professionals. The everyday driver who employs these tactics from school drop-off to long road trips is far less likely to experience danger and collisions on the road.

By applying these tips, you can enhance your driving experience and safety, while leaving the excitement of motorsports racing to the professionals. Enjoy the thrill from the comfort of your home.
