Editor’s Letter / No 01Filed · April 2026

A note from the pit wall.

Track days are made and lost in the small print. The note you scribbled at lunch about cold tyres. The new pad compound that surprised you on lap two. The one item the marshal had to remind you about before scrutineering. Pitlane is a notebook for those moments — written by drivers, for the next session.

We built it for the paddock, not the boardroom. Quick between sessions, slow in the evening. Records that follow you from circuit to circuit and remember what you set yourself last time. So the only thing you bring to the next weekend is a better guess.

Three chapters on how Pitlane keeps the notebook — sessions, the garage, the checklist.

Log every lap like it matters.

“The difference between a fast driver and a good one is what they write down.”

Season after season, what separates a quick lap from a repeatable one is rarely talent. It is the note scrawled at lunch — fourth gear short, camber hot, tyres came in after two laps — and the willingness to read it before the next session.

02The Garage

A car is a set of decisions.

“Keep a record of the compound, the pressure, the pad — and you'll stop making the same mistake twice.”

Every compound, every pad, every alignment number is an argument with the last version of the car. The Garage remembers all of them — per car, per circuit — so the only thing you bring to the next weekend is a better guess.

03The Checklist

Forget nothing. Least of all, the HANS.

By The Editors2 min read
“You only forget the fire extinguisher once — and only because the marshal reminds you.”

Reusable checklists for race days, test days and trackday weekends. The sort of list you want written the night before — and the kind you'll reach for again at 4:30 in the morning, half-asleep, while loading the van.
