Driving and racing coaches - Varano

A former professional driver, karting world vice-champion, double international GT endurance champion and twice second at the 24 Hours of Le Mans (LMP1 in 1998, LMP2 in 2009), Xavier Pompidou offers personalised coaching, from beginners to professional drivers and gentleman drivers (Ferrari XX Programme, Ferrari Geneva, Ligier Cup, Porsche Sprint Challenge).

A professional driving instructor, Thibaut Pretot specialises in technical coaching and performance optimisation on track. He coaches drivers from beginners to competitors. With solid experience of the Nordschleife since 2013 and an in-depth knowledge of its technical specifics, he also works at the main French and European circuits, notably Spa-Francorchamps, Dijon-Prenois, Magny-Cours and the Circuit Paul Ricard. His coaching combines driving precision, work on racing lines, braking, weight transfer management and telemetry analysis (data acquisition and use) to identify areas for improvement and optimise performance. Depending on the circuits and availability, he also offers solutions with a car, from the Ford Fiesta to BMW M2s prepared by Schirmer, up to the Porsche 911 GT3 (992) fitted with the Manthey Kit. The price is adjusted according to the type of coaching, the use of your own car or a dedicated one, and the data acquisition and analysis needs.

A driving instructor since 2017, Vincent Remigy works with drivers from amateur to bronze level. He is mostly found at Spa-Francorchamps, Chambley, Mettet, the Nürburgring, Le Mans, Dijon-Prenois and Magny-Cours, and travels all over Europe. On his coaching days he can look after up to four drivers, with telemetry and follow-up in a private online client area covering the basics, what has been done and what still needs work. Also a photographer in WEC and ELMS, he regularly talks with the drivers of these championships.

LEARNING TO DRIVE IS A PROCESS. Going fast is not the same as knowing how to drive. Real mastery is not measured by the stopwatch alone, but by your ability to understand, anticipate and control your car, with precision and consistency. His conviction: every driver can keep progressing, whatever their level or experience. For more than 25 years, Julien Gedet has been supporting beginners and experienced drivers alike, with a method drawn from professional motorsport. Understand, experiment, analyse, repeat: this is how skills are built and become lasting reflexes. Rather than a single isolated driving day, he favours support over time, to lay solid foundations and progress step by step. His personalised programmes of 3 to 6 months combine simulator work, track days, individual coaching and video analysis. A fleet of ten cars suited to your level and a team of professionals make it possible to build consistent, demanding and lasting progress. The aim is not simply to make you go faster, but to help you become, day after day, a better version of the driver you are today.

A professional racing driver for more than 20 years and a state-qualified instructor (BPJEPS), Dimitri founded Dim Team Racing in 2003.

He also runs drift courses and ice driving courses.
