Quick Practice Routines That Work - 30-Minute Sessions That Actually Improve You
I don't have 2-hour practice sessions. I have 30 minutes when kids go to bed.
Here's how to improve in short bursts.

The 30-Minute Practice Framework
Session Type 1: Consistency Drill (Weeks 1-2)
Minutes 0-5: Warm-up laps (3 laps easy) Minutes 5-25: 15 laps at 97% pace, target within 0.5 seconds Minutes 25-30: Cool down, check lap time consistency
Goal: String together consistent laps. Not fast laps.
Track your lap times. Can you do 10 laps within 0.3 seconds? If yes, increase pace by 0.1 seconds.
Session Type 2: Corner Mastery (Weeks 3-4)
Pick ONE corner. Spend entire session on it.
Minutes 0-5: Warm up Minutes 5-25: 20 laps focusing only on that corner Minutes 25-30: Full lap applying what you learned
Rotate through track corners weekly. Master one at a time.
Session Type 3: Race Starts (Week 5)
Minutes 0-10: Practice standing starts (10 attempts) Minutes 10-20: Practice lap 1 traffic management Minutes 20-30: Race simulation first 5 laps
Race starts decide positions. Worth dedicated practice.
Session Type 4: Race Simulation (Week 6)
Minutes 0-5: Warm up Minutes 5-30: 20 laps at race pace with fuel/tyre load
No resets, no restarts. Practice like it's a real race.
The Rotation
Week 1-2: Consistency Week 3-4: Corner mastery Week 5: Starts Week 6: Race sim Repeat
Six weeks = one cycle. You'll improve steadily.
Micro-Sessions (15 Minutes)
Sometimes you only get 15 minutes.
Option A: Brake Point Drill One corner, 15 attempts hitting exact brake marker.
Option B: Qualifying Practice 3 warm-up laps, 3 flying laps.
Option C: Mental Rehearsal Close your eyes, drive the track mentally. Sounds weird, works brilliantly.
Track Your Progress
Simple spreadsheet:
- Date
- Session type
- Best lap
- Average lap
- Consistency (lap time delta)
Monthly review shows if you're improving.
I went from 1:32s to 1:29s in 3 months with only 30-min sessions. Progress is possible.
