Porsche is launching the 'Get Race Fit' program, a half-day coaching session, which takes the principles of motorsport fitness and combines them with expert advice, this year from professionals including F1 star Mark Webber and MotoGP rider Bradley Smith. Limited to just 40 places and costing 195 GBP ($300) per person, the session aims to create a program preparing motorsport participants at every level, for the forthcoming season.

Each 'Get Race Fit' session teaches techniques for motorsport specific strength and conditioning training, tests vision and reaction abilities using Batak, Saccadic fixator and Wave scan technology and also includes a full body composition analysis. There will be a competitive element to some of the activities and the top performers will win a hot lap with Mark Webber on the Porsche Experience Centre tracks.

Andy Blow, Director of the Porsche Human Performance Centre said, "The physical preparation required for competitive motorsport can provide a great foundation for general fitness. From the activities carried out at the centre we can demonstrate the physical division between motorsports stars and the average person.

"For example, ex-Porsche Carrera Cup GB winner Barry Horne holds the joint world record on the Batak machine of 122 hits in one minute, doubling that of an average person; whilst Formula One star Mark Webber holds the highest grip strength of 67kgf, compared to just 45-50kgf for an average man. Using the principles that underpin this level of fitness we create wellness assessments and bespoke goal orientated programs for athletes of every discipline wishing to beat their 'Personal Best'."

Although popular with motorsport participants, the course is open to anyone looking to keep fit, or seeking inspiration for a training routine.
