    The Power of Polite Persistence with Ross Bentley

    In this episode of the Motorsport Prospects Podcast, I speak with renowned driver coach Ross Bentley of Speed Secrets where we discuss: The importance of having the right people around you. The power of polite persistence. Why people buy who you are. In addition, since I forgot to ask Ross what his favourite racetrack was, I followed up with him after the recording and, as he could not pick just one, these were his picks: Canadian Tire Motorsport Park because of its fast corners. Laguna Seca because it’s fun and I love the Monterey area. Phillip Island in Australia because it’s beautiful and there are kangaroos! Spa because… well, it’s Spa.
