  • Right? When I’m in a 30-minute race trying not to invalidate a single lap it just feels like this is the only thing going on in the world right now and it’s unlike how I am in real life. When I’m cooking food, my head is just everywhere – is the pan hot, is this ingredient ready, should I clean this while that’s cooking – but in a car on a track (virtually at least), my head has a single linear flow and my body follows.

    I struggle in the middle/end of stints too, and typically when this happens I “reset” by silently muttering my next braking points, especially during a long straight. Hope that helps you to some extent and thanks for commenting despite being a lurker. Helps with not feeling alone









  • I took up sim racing to help improve my focus. Every day I do 2 - 3 hours worth of laps, and I make it my goal to do consistent laps. Not necessary fast but just consistent. If I can stay within 0.5 - 1 second for x laps in a row, I count it as a win and I try to break that record the next day or at the very least meet the same number.

    Helps with my memory retention too as poor memory is sometimes another side effect of ADHD from what I’m told
