Recently, Callum made it through to the final four of the Porsche Scholarship, and a key part of that process was the fitness assessment.
Luckily for us, Callum has always made training a part of his weekly routine and he’s committed and when you combine this with his experience in single seaters he had a very strong base to be ready for this assessment.
These tests aren’t added to make the day tougher — they’re there because everyone in motorsport understands the reality:
✅ A driver’s physical fitness directly impacts their performance.
✅ Manufacturers, teams, team bosses, engineers, and coaches all know it.
✅ Whether you personally think fitness matters or not is irrelevant — the sport does.
Running a 15-minute 5K won’t make you a better driver on its own. But what it does show is something far more important:
• Commitment to the unseen work
• Willingness to push when no one is watching
• Determination to keep improving
That’s what a fitness assessment reveals.
You see drivers right at their limit — physically and mentally — and you learn who they are in that moment.
Do they step back?
Or do they fight?
That’s the difference. And that’s why it matters.
