Start to race
Can anyone learn to race? That is the question Jan Van Looveren explores in the new series *Start to Race*. Twelve ordinary Flemings embark on an intense and spectacular adventure: over the course of four months, they are trained to become racing drivers. Under the guidance of experienced racing driver Sam Dejonghe, they learn everything required to compete at a high level. From technique and speed to focus, guts, and perseverance—each episode pushes them to their absolute limits, with the challenges becoming increasingly demanding.

Twelve racing enthusiasts head to Zolder to meet coach Sam Dejonghe, the circuit, and each other. During a two-day trip in the Ardennes, it immediately becomes clear: this is no game. Sam tests their driving skills, ability to learn, and team spirit as talent and character emerge. And then comes the harsh reality: not everyone is allowed to start the training program.

10 aspiring racing drivers begin Sam's coaching program. Anyone who thought they would be stepping on the gas is in for a rude awakening. Everything starts with braking! The right braking technique ensures you lose as little time as possible. No "give it gas!", but "hit the brakes!"
