Neck Training for Racing Drivers

A simple routine to stay sharp in long sessions, with no special equipment needed.

By Niek

Lateral g-forces load your neck in every corner. A tired neck means a tired driver, and that means mistakes.

Isometric holds in four directions: 4 × 20 seconds each, using your hand as resistance.
Band rotations: 3 × 12 each side.
Shrugs and rows for the supporting muscles.

Two to three times per week. Start light and build gradually, and ask a qualified trainer to check your form.
