Piloti Team
by Beppe Sebastiani e Dimitri Ricci
The athletic training of the motor racing pilots is of basic importance for reaching good results.
The psychophysical stress during the race can influence the pilot's way of driving and consequently his performance.
The pilot's athletic training is different from any other according to the peculiarity of this sport; the feelings while driving and the particular stressing conditions are exclusive of pilots and can be felt only by them.
The pilot has to be fit for aerobic resistance and specific muscle strength. Let's see together the reasons of that:
The race lasts more than one hour and during the race the heartbeats vary from 170 to 180 in adverse weather conditions (in particular humid warm conditions a pilot can loose up to 3 kg of liquids).
The neck muscles have to resist and contrast the many charges due to the variations in speed and direction. These can reach 4-5 G (angular velocity) and this means about 25 kg. on the neck.
The pilot has to apply strength of 20 kg. on his arms at any necessary swerves for completing the competition.
A proper and balanced diet is a basic factor for a good performance because the energetic supply has to be constant during the competition.
Concentration is extremely high and the pilot has to be motivated and always concentrated on whatever happens and be able to react in a very short time under stressing conditions.
The Fenice training team is the result of the hard work of its charter members Beppe Sebastiani and Dimitri Ricci who want to give the pilot all necessary training means for reaching high performances.
The Fenice Training Team distinguishes itself for its professionalism, the experience of his trainers and the specific training means and methods for each athlete.
The trainer in all their trainings personally follows the pilots: indoor and outdoor gym workouts, bicycle running tennis and five-a-side football trainings.
It is also possible to undergo regenerating activities as massages and relaxing in the sauna.
The training environment is stimulating and particularly suitable to all sports activities.
The sporting center Taddei and Villa Ariston grant the pilots a perfect hospitality and the location in Marina di Pietrasanta with its sea, pinewoods and the near mountains is a perfect environment for this kind of activities.
All this in a pleasant atmosphere of fun and relax in which the pilot has the possibility of alternating moments of physical stress with relaxing ones.
Numerous drivers already rely on the Fenice training team such as Davide Valsecchi, Karun Chandok, Sergio Perez, Oliver Turvey, Julian Leal, Henry Surtees, Franck Perera, Gimmi Bruni, Matteo Davenia, Francesco Baroni. The whole team ORECA LMS: Olivier Panis, Nicolas Lapierre, Stephan Ortelli, Bruno Senna and many others already famous.....
Some of the above pilots are also followed during the competitions on the racecourses.
Beppe and Dimitri are waiting for you...........
